Hillside Abode in the Heart of Historic White Springs and the Suwannee River

In the heart of North Florida and literally minutes to restaurants and attractions, the Hillside Abode will make you feel right at home in a safe and comfortable location with all the essentials you would want in a home away from home. Suited for corporate travelers, families, and couples. Wi-Fi equipped.


The historic Suwannee River, Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, Suwannee River Bicycle Association, and American Canoe Adventures are all within a five-minute walk.


Conveniently located 3 miles from I-75 and less than 7 miles from I-10 and centrally located between Lake City (13 miles), Live Oak (15 miles), and Jasper (18 miles). Coffee and tea, along with the condiments are provided for all guests.


If you are coming to enjoy the wonderful outdoor opportunities in our area, be sure to check out our unbelievably beautiful natural springs (Suwannee Springs/22miles, Ichetucknee/34 miles, Ginnie Springs/44miles) as well as the Big Shoals Trailhead located 5.5 miles away or the Florida Trail 5 minutes away. If music festivals are your jam, the Florida Folk Festival at the Stephen Foster Culture Center State Park is a favorite and only a five-minute walk or just 20 minutes away is the Spirt of Suwannee Music Park. If sporting events bring you to our area, The Southside Sports Complex in Lake City is located just 16 miles away and Bienville Outdoors is an easy 10-minute drive.

The trip that wasn't

We didn't get to stay as planned. Our car broke down about 200 miles away. The host was so gracious with us. The check in process was going smoothly and communication with the host was fantastic. Eventually we hope to actually stay at this property. Would recommend just based on awesome communication with the host

Exceptional Property with a Homely Feel

The property was very clean and included everything we needed and more, the extras provided were wonderful and gave our journey an extra level of comfort, it was very homely and felt like a home away from home, the property surroundings were very good and the locals were lovely and accommodating in the surrounding areas such as the stores and the nearby national park. Our host Pam and Bebe were exceptional, keeping in touch via vrbo to check if we needed anything and we're very helpful during our stay We would definaltely recommend this property and we look forward to staying here again, As we were very sad to leave this property and the beautiful surrounding areas

Beautiful, Super Clean Amazing Home

My husband & I stayed at this beautiful home in White Springs for Labor Day weekend & the home was immaculate! Lots of little luxuries and extra thought has gone into making your stay so wonderful. Only minutes to the Stephen Foster museum, which was awesome. Big Shoals rapids is just a few more miles up the road & was a nice trail hike. Like another reviewer said, it's the little things that make your stay memorable...water in the fridge, snack tray, soaps, quality linens, comfy bed...all very thoughtful. Went to Fat Belly's BBQ....that was very good as well. Super comfortable stay!!

Fall Break Getaway

It was the perfect property for what we needed. House felt like home from the minute we walked in. Loved the fact that the bathroom did not have hotel towels and rugs. Quality of rugs and towels were like what I would have at my home. Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference! Would definitely rent again if we come back to this area.
