Charming Santa Fe River Cottage - 10-15 min from 3 of FLA's most popular springs

Renovated in 2022, this is a 2 bedroom river cottage just a short walk from the Santa Fe River. Conveniently located near several Florida springs, great dining, & unique shopping. Check out our guest book for more info. **We highly recommend purchasing trip insurance that will cover a variety of issues that may arise prior or during your trip. Examples are medical events that prevent or shorten your stay, vehicle problems or accidents, and natural disasters (i.e. tropical storms and hurricanes) that require mandatory or suggested evacuation. Florida in the summer is always subject to strong storms which often cause lengthy power outages that can affect the property and could electively cause guests to shorten their stay. Trip insurance would potentially cover the remaining days depending on the policy purchased.

A bit rustic, but comfortable, quiet, and enjoyable

Picture & description useful. Very clean and very well supplied. Many amenities. Could use some minor repairs and paint. In the woods - which is a plus. River not as close as expected, but a short drive to a number of state parks offering boating and hiking which is why we were there. Steep stairs to second floor bedrooms. Would stay again.

Comfortable and Cozy

We stayed for three nights and had a really nice time. It felt like a home away from home. The house was clean and cozy. I really loved how they had a lot of cookware lol because I cooked a lot for my kids birthday. I enjoyed the seclusion of the home without feeling totally isolated in the area. My kids and I had a wonderful time visiting the nearby springs. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Quiet and Very Close to The Boat Ramp

At first, we booked the house for August, but storm Debby rolled in can caused the river to flood and the boat ramp to be closed. They were very understanding and worked with us to get a new date on the schedule. We liked how the boat ramp was literally just a couple hundred yards from the house, which made it very easy to get in and out. The house was very nice and the neighborhood was quiet. The driveway circled back to the side road which made getting in and out easy without backing up. We will definitely stay there again!

Ginnie Springs for my Birthday

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. It was just a short drive to the Springs and it was a very comfortable house that had everything that I needed for the short time I was there. The only issue is that I didn't get to stay long enough. The next time I come, I'm hoping to stay closer to a week rather than just a few days. It's also only a 10-15 minute drive into town where you can pick up any groceries you need. For a place that's not that far from civilization, it gives you a nice country feel and it's also an extra bonus that it's right across the street from the Santa Fe river.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Huck's Hideaway! This lovely, quiet home is the perfect base camp for exploring several springs and state parks in a very close proximity. While relaxing at the house, we saw turkeys, deer and a huge barrred owl. We hope to come back and would highly refer/recommend this lovely home and property. TY!
