Confluence Cabin: Tubes, Paddleboards + Kayaks Included In Price. Dogs welcome.

CONFLUENCE: /kŏn′floo͞-əns/ noun
1. The place where two rivers, streams, or other continuously flowing bodies of water meet and become one, especially where a tributary joins a river.

The Confluence Cabin is a beautiful cedar home nestled where the Ichetucknee River pours into the Santa Fe. The sprawling 2 acre property has more than a full acre fenced in, making it the perfect spot for children to play on the tree swing and for dogs to run off leash. Bringing your personal boat or jet skis? The community boat ramp/launch is just a few yards away. There are also pontoon and jetski rentals nearby.

At the cabin, you will enjoy the views from our resort style boardwalk, multiple docks and covered pavilion, which features a twin size bed swing overlooking the river. The year-round 73 degree pure spring water bubbling from the ground attracts friendly manatees and otters, along with hundreds of species of fish and birds. Cool off in the river with a swim (or snorkel) or fish until your bait or daylight runs out. The State Park down the road offers longer float and kayak trips, swimming holes and even scuba diving in caves.

Host Pro Tip: When you stay at the Confluence Cabin, you get access to its private neighborhood tube launch that is a 40 minute float down the crystal clear Ichetucknee (floating coolers allowed). Avoid the long lines, entrance fees, tube rental fees, parking, and shuttles at the nearby parks/springs with your stay. Cabin guests have free access to tubes (2 singles, 1 double, 1 cooler and pump), stand up paddle boards (2), regular kayaks (5), canoe (1), and the crystal clear glass bottom "manatee viewer" kayak (1). Best part? The float ends right at the cabin's private dock and you can do it over and over again.

The cabin itself is cozy and you will feel right at home. The upstairs has two bedrooms, one King and one Queen, as well as two bathrooms. The kitchen has all the essentials and the nearest grocery store is within 2 miles. NOTE FOR PARENTS: The downstairs is accessed from the EXTERIOR ONLY. It features one large room with four beds, a full bathroom, and large screened area, as well as laundry room. We have free wi-fi and all TVs are SmartTV/Firestick enabled for your streaming services. The house has loads of games inside and outside including Foosball, Nintendo 64, Cornhole, Croquet, a Bingo Wheel, Playing Cards, Cribbage, Board Games, as well as Books and Toys for younger kids.

*Please note that the river can rise. At times the water will be high enough to cover the dock and come into the yard. It's beautiful to see because the water is crystal clear. During a river rise boats and kayaks can be launched from the yard. You can check the river level at 3 rivers here: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=jax&gage=tref1&refresh=true

Cozy, peaceful cabin is a real GEM!
We love this cabin! The location was great, close to Ichetucknee Park yet private and secluded in the woods. A huge deck oversees an enormous fenced yard with river view. Cabin was clean and tidy with great kitchen that provides every imaginable utensil and premium coffee in the freezer. Good use of space, we enjoyed the large dining table and sofa seating. Plenty of water toys available. All communication with owner/manager was speedy, pleasant and helpful. We can't wait to come back!!

River Getaway
From start to finish it was a great stay! We booked with the previous owners however Melissa made the crossover seamless. She communicated with us right up to our visit. The cabin was just as advertised and we enjoyed the stay. We even took the kayaks out and floated down to the house. Thanks and see you next year!

Fantastic time with family in an amazing home!
We spent 5 days with family including my 2 yr old grandson at the cabin. Everyone had such a great time. They have all asked for me to book again for next summer. The house was beautiful, the property was unique and picturesque. Melissa was kind and extremely easy to communicate with. Our dogs were as happy as ever and there was something for every age group. We tubed to the backyard and made day trips out. We cooked at the cabin and played games rather than eating out. I look forward to returning next summer or sooner!

Something for everyone
Confluence cabin is perfect for both river activities or peaceful relaxation . Located close to the springs, the river remains cool and refreshing for swimming and easy to access from the house by young and elderly alike. Our disabled family member was able to navigate the boardwalk well. We had a great experience and plan to return.

Peaceful retreat
We’ve been going to the Itchetuknee with friends for the past 3 years and love staying on the water. The cabin was perfect for our chill weekend of floating and fishing. You can set off from the park on a float and get out right at your dock. Will definitely book again!

Absolutely FABULOUS!!
My friends and I wanted to stay somewhere different besides the beach or a resort for girls' weekend . The cabin was amazing! The kitchen was well stocked and the entire home was very clean and beautifully decorated. The beds and linens were all comfortable and felt like a 5-star hotel. We took full advantage of the kayaks and canoes provided. The house was stocked with plenty of games to play in the evenings and the upstairs deck was great for morning coffee and gorgeous scenery. The hosts were phenomenal and always responded quickly with any questions we had. Highly recommend for family and friend gatherings. We are debating on going back again before winter. Love, love, love this place!

Wonderful cabin
We had such a wonderful time at this cabin that we stayed another day! The cabin has everything you would want. So, if you forgot something, they have it there. Cabin was decorated nice. Was a home away from home. The nature walk and view from the covered deck was spectacular. Family had fun swimming around the dock and looking at the fish and turtles. There was a family of manatees that swam by the dock! The fenced yard was such an awesome amenity. My dog could explore without constantly being on a leash. Kayaks available without an extra cost. Even had doggy life vest and dog beds. We loved this cabin and there were no mosquitoes!!!

Perfect getaway for nature enthusiasts!
We love the outdoors. So do our kids and pups. This place was the PERFECT getaway. The luxuries of home coupled with the beautiful closeness of nature. The Ichetucknee spring run is a five minute paddle from the dock. The water at the dock and river is crystal clear. The second day of our trip we decided to try to paddle/kayak the entire spring run. It’s 6 miles one way and SO WORTH THE TRIP! We loved relaxing under the beautiful trees. The kids were fishing around the clock. We did lots of snorkeling and went to the springs to go tubing! We highly recommend this and to bring your own tube. We went on a Thursday and it wasn’t busy at all! We can’t wait to book another trip to the confluence cabin for next summer. This just might be our new summer go to from now on!

This property is absolutely gorgeous, and the host went above and beyond for us! Melissa left special surprises for the grandbabies, and a bottle of wine and mothers Day card for me! There had been a terrible storm the day we arrived, and the entire area was without power. We"glamped" the first night, which was actually kind of fun! The power came back on the next day, but Melissa was so sweet and gave us an extra day free! A very memorable vacation, and we will definitely be back! Also, the yard and upstairs balcony was super secure, very child and pet friendly!!

The property and house were quiet and cozy. The deck, yard, pavilion, and river were the stars of the property--AMAZING. Access to kayaks and a canoe was wonderful. In addition, the location was close to many parks with natural springs. We were there for Spring Break and really enjoyed our vacation. No complaints.

This place was a cozy cabin in a beautiful setting. The kitchen had everything we needed for making our culinary delights. We kayaked and fished on the scenic river. And enjoyed the peace and quiet while relaxing on the covered deck. Our dog had lots of fun running around the fenced in yard.
