About this property

Peaceful Riverfront Retreat, Relax, Unwind & Enjoy the Water

  • Welcome to your getaway on Little Lake George in Welaka, Florida—a brand-new A-frame retreat designed for families, boaters, anglers, and anyone looking to slow down and enjoy the St. Johns River lifestyle. Set among the trees with direct access to the water, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sleeps up to 7 guests and combines a peaceful natural setting with the comforts of a new build.

    From mornings on the dock to evenings around the fire pit, the water becomes the center of your stay. Bring your boat, fishing gear, swimsuits, and a laid-back mindset. Whether you are planning a family weekend, a fishing trip, a couples’ escape, or a longer river stay, the house gives you a comfortable home base for enjoying one of Florida’s most unique freshwater destinations.

    THE SPACE

    The home is a newly built A-frame with a warm, relaxed feel that fits the river setting. With three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and sleeping space for up to seven guests, there is room for everyone to spread out while still enjoying the cozy atmosphere that makes a lake house special.

    The main living areas are designed for spending time together after a day outside. Relax indoors, plan the next day’s fishing trip, enjoy a family meal, or simply settle in and enjoy the quiet surroundings. Because the home is new, guests can enjoy a clean, fresh space while still getting the laid-back experience of staying on the water.

    The layout works well for families with children, couples vacationing together, or a small group of friends. With two bathrooms, mornings are easier when everyone is getting ready for a day on the lake or heading into town.

    ON THE WATER

    One of the biggest reasons to stay here is the location. The property sits on Little Lake George, part of the St. Johns River system near Welaka. Guests can step outside and enjoy direct waterfront access without having to pack up the car every time they want to be near the water.

    The dock is a favorite place for morning coffee, fishing, watching the river, or simply sitting quietly as the day begins. Boaters can enjoy the convenience of having the water right at the property, making it easier to build your vacation around fishing, cruising, exploring, and time outdoors.

    This area is especially appealing to guests who love freshwater fishing and the St. Johns River. Depending on the season, anglers visit for bass, crappie, catfish, and other local species. The surrounding waterways provide miles to explore, with scenery ranging from quiet river stretches to broad open water and classic Old Florida landscapes.

    OUTDOOR LIVING

    The outdoor space is a major part of the experience. After a day on the water, come back to the property and unwind beneath the gazebo. Gather around the fire pit in the evening, enjoy a drink, tell stories about the day, or relax outside as the sun goes down.

    The setting makes it easy to spend more time outdoors. It works just as well for slow mornings as it does for active days on the river. Families can enjoy time together, anglers can organize gear for the next morning, and couples can settle in for a quiet evening away from the pace of everyday life.

    Because the home is surrounded by a natural Florida environment, wildlife is part of the experience. Keep an eye out for birds and other animals common throughout the Welaka and St. Johns River area, and always enjoy wildlife from a safe distance.

    BRING THE BOAT

    If your trip revolves around boating or fishing, this property was made with you in mind. There is room on the property for vehicles as well as space for a boat trailer, making it easier to travel with your own equipment. The driveway leads through a shaded, wooded portion of the property before reaching the home, helping create the tucked-away feeling that makes the house such a relaxing escape.

    Please keep all vehicles and trailers completely clear of Point South Drive and neighboring access areas. The road approaching the property is narrow and shared with other residents, so guests should drive slowly and courteously when arriving and departing.

    Once you are settled in, having the dock and water at the property means less time loading and unloading and more time enjoying your trip.

    FISHING, BOATING & OLD FLORIDA

    Welaka is a small riverfront community that offers a very different experience from Florida’s crowded beach destinations and major tourist corridors. This is a place for guests who want water, wildlife, fishing, boating, quiet roads, local restaurants, and the feeling of being away from it all.

    Little Lake George connects into the broader St. Johns River system and provides access to some of Northeast Florida’s most memorable freshwater scenery. Spend the day fishing, cruise the river, explore the surrounding waterways, or stay close to the house and enjoy the view from the dock.

    If you are visiting specifically to fish, the location is a convenient home base for early mornings on the water and relaxed evenings back at the house. Family members who are not fishing can still enjoy the waterfront setting, outdoor gathering areas, and peaceful pace of the property.

    A GREAT FAMILY GETAWAY

    The home is especially well suited for families looking for a different kind of Florida vacation. Instead of spending the entire trip in traffic or standing in lines, you can wake up near the water, make breakfast, spend the day outside, and come back together around the fire pit at night.

    Kids can experience a side of Florida that feels more natural and adventurous, while adults have room to relax. The house sleeps up to seven, making it a good fit for one family, a multigenerational trip, or a small group traveling together.

    Parents should supervise children closely around the dock, shoreline, fire pit, and all outdoor areas. This is a true waterfront property, and children should never be left unattended near the water.

    PEACEFUL, NATURAL SETTING

    Guests should book this home because they want the river experience. The setting is peaceful, wooded, and natural rather than manicured like a large resort. You may hear boats on the water, see wildlife, encounter insects, or experience changing river and weather conditions. Those are all part of staying in an authentic Florida waterfront environment.

    LAKE & WEATHER SAFETY

    Please check the weather before heading onto Little Lake George or the St. Johns River. Conditions on open water can change quickly, and Lake George can become rough during strong winds or approaching storms. Waves can become significant and potentially dangerous, particularly for smaller boats.

    Guests are responsible for making safe boating decisions, following all applicable boating laws, using appropriate life jackets and safety equipment, and avoiding the water when conditions are beyond their experience or the capabilities of their vessel.

    This is especially important for guests unfamiliar with Lake George. A calm morning does not guarantee calm conditions later in the day, so checking the forecast and paying attention to changing wind and weather conditions should always be part of your plans.

    ARRIVAL & PARKING

    The property is reached from Point South Drive, a narrow shared access road. Please drive slowly and watch for neighbors, wildlife, and other vehicles. Once you arrive at the property, the gravel driveway continues through a shaded area tow
