Welcome to Soluna Springs -- an aspiring 6 acre magical plot of land surrounded by cedar and pine trees, and soon to be fruit forest + farm + retreat space designed to help you disconnect from the chaos of life and reconnect to nature, yourself, your loved ones, and a little bit of magic.
We're just 5–10 minutes from some of the most beautiful springs in Florida—Ginnie, Poe, Blue, and Gilchrist Springs—perfect for swimming, tubing, paddling, or simply floating in crystal-clear water.
You can also:
Walk the land and see our early steps toward building a food forest
Watch the stars with minimal light pollution
Roast s’mores at your fire pit
Read, write, or nap on the deck surrounded by pine and oak trees
Explore local hiking and river trails nearby
Please note: This is a developing property! There are two tiny homes on the land, and we’re in the process of adding two geodomes soon. We are giving each dwelling a private corner of the land but it is possible to bump into others around or hear light work being done during the day as we continue shaping this into something special. The vibe is still quiet, spacious, and peaceful.
Expect a mix of comfort and rustic charm—this isn’t a hotel, but it’s clean, cozy, and full of heart. You may encounter some uneven ground, wild plants, or curious critters—it’s part of the off-grid magic.
Come experience the early energy of Soluna Springs. We hope you enjoy :)

Welcome to Soluna Springs -- an aspiring 6 acre magical plot of land surrounded by cedar and pine trees, and soon to be fruit forest + farm + retreat space designed to help you disconnect from the chaos of life and reconnect to nature, yourself, your loved ones, and a little bit of magic.
We're just 5–10 minutes from some of the most beautiful springs in Florida—Ginnie, Poe, Blue, and Gilchrist Springs—perfect for swimming, tubing, paddling, or simply floating in crystal-clear water.
You can also:
Walk the land and see our early steps toward building a food forest
Watch the stars with minimal light pollution
Roast s’mores at your fire pit
Read, write, or nap on the deck surrounded by pine and oak trees
Explore local hiking and river trails nearby
Please note: This is a developing property! There are two tiny homes on the land, and we’re in the process of adding two geodomes soon. We are giving each dwelling a private corner of the land but it is possible to bump into others around or hear light work being done during the day as we continue shaping this into something special. The vibe is still quiet, spacious, and peaceful.
Expect a mix of comfort and rustic charm—this isn’t a hotel, but it’s clean, cozy, and full of heart. You may encounter some uneven ground, wild plants, or curious critters—it’s part of the off-grid magic.
Come experience the early energy of Soluna Springs. We hope you enjoy :)

After five days of hotel stays with whirring AC systems, elevator sounds and weary staff members, it was BLISS to stay at Quartermoon Cottage and listen to owls as we sat around a campfire before slipping in to our four-poster bed after bidding goodnight to our incredible hosts. This was our third stay there and it won't be the last. Highly recommend.

Tent, bedding, heating, cooling included. It got down to 37 degrees. But we were comfortable. Now for the best part: there are over 100 cats that roam the camp, and they come and go from your tent as they please! We had about 6 cats in our tent at one point, and woke up to 3 cats still snuggling with us!

I planned a last minute camping trip for the weekend with my family. Our host was very polite and a fast communicator. My kids favorite part was petting the animals and enjoying the campfire. The camper was warm and cozy. Everything was as stated on the pages description. No scary surprises, although I would recommend bringing your own Bluetooth speaker if you plan to watch a movie on the projector or check with your host on quality of his speaker before purchasing. We could barely hear anything on the little speaker he brought out to us. I was last minute though , so I probably got the last minute campers speaker. I’m just glad the host was generous enough to get us in on a short notice because we got to make memories that will last a lifetime 🫶

I loved staying here! The cabin was excellent and the property is beautiful. You can tell a lot of work was put into this property. We had an excellent time here with our dog and close by to some cool hikes and a nature drive near the Suwannee River. A great place to escape and have a few beers and smores.
