Ichetucknee Springs Getaway, Florida

Welcome to Lake City, Florida, also known as the Gateway of Florida.

Come stay on our private ten acres that is just a few miles away from three beautiful rivers: Ichetucknee Springs/River, Suwannee River and the Santa Fe River.

Our property is located halfway down a 1/2 mile dead-end road, which limits thru traffic and ends at a friendly neighbor's small blue-berry farm where you can pick fresh blueberries when in season. Near our property are cattle, adorable miniature donkeys, pigs, chickens, roosters and even peacocks via our neighbors. (You are likely to hear the crow of roosters, the "bray" or hee-haw of donkeys, the mooing or bellowing of cows, the squealing of pigs and even possibly the unusual calls peacocks make.)

We have the perfect spot for you to park your RV for the night or several days. We offer a picnic table, chairs, fire pit stocked with firewood, 110 electricity availability, and potable water. We have a corn-hole game, horseshoes and a Badinton set with net that is available upon request.

We are pet friendly with fenced-in property. Pets can roam leash-free, BUT Please Be Aware that the fence style is a Country Wire Fence with larger square openings that smaller pets could get through.

We have two medium-sized dogs and they stay in our fenced-in area surrounding our home. Jom is a Jack-Whippet (Jack Russel/Whippet mix) and Dixie is a boarder collie. Jom was adopted them from the Humane Society when he was two years old and Dixie when she was 12 months.

We have a semi-feral little black rescue kitty-cat that roams the property, but usually stays close to the house. Her name is KC or Kitty-Cat. If she does venture outside of the fence by the house, PLEASE do not attempt to pet or pick her up as she can be quite unpredictable - as anyone who knows cats, can be.

We also are hobbyist beekeepers (a/k/a apiarists) and have sweet local honey for sale. Our "Bee" yard is to the west side of our property, near our home, and is fenced off. Ours bees are not aggressive, but in an abundance of caution, we ask that you PLEASE Do Not Enter the fenced-off bee yard and by mindful to keep pets and children from inadvertently entering that area also.
