You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming 1930's house only a few blocks from the St. Johns River!

Nestled in the heart of historic Welaka, you will feel right at home in this charming house, built in 1930. Within these rustic walls, you will find two bedrooms, one full bath, a family room and breakfast nook with a flat screen television, fully- functioning kitchen, WIFI, and two game rooms. The front porch game room allows for indoor activities such as cards and board games. The back porch offers seating and an air hockey table.
The house is centrally located. A couple of blocks away is the public boat ramp, where you can launch your boat for a fun-filled day of fishing, cruising, or swimming on the river. Afterward, you can tie up at Bryant’s Wharf, Welaka’s public boat dock. The house is only a few hundred yards walk away!
Days on the water are always busy and can make one very hungry! Shrimps-R-Us and The Log Cabin are all within walking distance should you feel the need to work out your sea legs!
The house sits on half an acre and is ideal for storing your boat trailer as you enjoy your vacation.

Great trip back in time in Welaka

We were here for business, so not to much visiting the area but a great 1930's house with all the charm. Plenty of good restaurants and local store for food. Everything you need and more. I definetly recommend you will have a great experience.

Adorable Home

We have stayed here before when visiting the area and will hopefully be able to stay here again when in the area. It is a well maintained older home with tons of character. It is conveniently located not just to the events we attend in the area, but also to the river. Comfortable beds that fit our needs.

Home Away From Home.

We were five, ages 16 - 67. It’s an understatement to say the room layout is fabulous for a family. Beautiful inside on top of functional. Great assortment of entertainment provided as well. Looking forward to returning!

Perfect location for my husband working at Long’s Log Cabin!

Although the property is older and quirky it was perfect for us. Within walking distance from Long’s Log Cabin. Since my husband’s band was playing there it gave us a great after show place to crash and rest till the morning instead of driving home back to Jax late.
