Built with an open design, a king size bed with 600 thread count linens are an added luxury. The front porch has a swing for two facing the river and two rockers that overlook the pool. The back porch features an outside dining table and a Jenn Air stainless gas grill and, of course the spa. This adds another 200+ square feet to the existing 600 of the cottage

Eleven original boat slips are complimentary on a first come first serve basis. Additionally, we have three new covered boat slips with electric lifts that are available to rent on a nightly, weekly, or monthly basis. Space fills quickly so make sure to reserve one early! Opportunities for recreation abound. The Ocala National Forest is across the river, as is the Ocklawaha River, a pristine environment that takes you back in time and also gives you your best chance to see an alligator. Take your boat out and explore, or rent or charter one of ours, it is an opportunity not to be missed. Silver Glen Springs and Salt Springs are located off Lake George and are a great day trip by boat. You can also take the oldest operating ferry in Florida across the river just south and into the town of Salt Springs.

Heading south you'll come to Juniper Springs and Run, excellent for canoeing and kayaking, and Silver Glen Springs. Being in the Ocala National Forest, you'll have access to many trails including the Florida Trail which, when completed, will extend from the southern tip of Florida into the panhandle, eventually connecting to the Appalachian Trail. Hiking trails in the Welaka Forest just south of town provide an up close way to see nature and allow you access to a secret spring. Strong paddlers can access it by water. Of course, for many, fishing from the dock or their boat will provide all the entertainment they desire. And for others a dip in the pool followed by a beautiful sunset will be their respite. Let us host your event. With the amenities provided we are an ideal location for family reunions, corporate retreats, and wedding parties.
