The Confluence Cabin: At the mouth of the Ichetucknee

CONFLUENCE: /kŏn′floo͞-əns/ noun
1. The place where two rivers, streams, or other continuously flowing bodies of water meet and become one, especially where a tributary joins a river.

The Confluence Cabin is a beautiful cedar home nestled where the Ichetucknee meets the Santa Fe. The "mouth" of the rivers is a very popular spot to meet up all summer. The year-round 73 degree pure spring water bubbling from the ground attracts friendly manatees and otters, along with hundreds of species of fish and birds.

Enjoy it all from the long boardwalk, multiple docks and covered pavillion. Launch our crystal clear, glass bottom kayak directly from the backyard kayak dock and try to spot a manatee on the Ichetucknee. In total there are six kayaks and one canoe available during your stay. The community boat ramp is just a few yards away for launching larger vessels. Right from our dock you can swim, tube, canoe, kayak, snorkel, fish, jet ski and go boating. The 2 acre property has more than a full acre fenced in, making it perfect for children and dogs.

The cabin itself is cozy and you will feel right at home. The upstairs has two bedrooms, one King and one Queen, as well as two bathrooms. The kitchen has everything you could need and the nearest grocery store is within 2 miles. Downstairs is accessed from the exterior only. It features one large room with four beds. A full bathroom, and large screened area, as well as laundry room. We have free wi-fi and all TVs are SmartTV/Firestick enabled where you can use all of your streaming services. The house has lots of games inside and outside including a tree swing, a macrame baby swing, corn hole, croquet, bingo, cards, board games and books and toys for children.

*Please note that the river can rise. At times the water will be high enough to cover the dock and come into the yard. It's beautiful to see because the water is crystal clear. During a river rise boats and kayaks can still be launched from the yard. You can check the river level at 3 rivers here: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=jax&gage=tref1&refresh=true

Peaceful and beautiful
This property is absolutely gorgeous, and the host went above and beyond for us! Melissa left special surprises for the grandbabies, and a bottle of wine and mothers Day card for me! There had been a terrible storm the day we arrived, and the entire area was without power. We"glamped" the first night, which was actually kind of fun! The power came back on the next day, but Melissa was so sweet and gave us an extra day free! A very memorable vacation, and we will definitely be back! Also, the yard and upstairs balcony was super secure, very child and pet friendly!!

A gem in FL
The property and house were quiet and cozy. The deck, yard, pavilion, and river were the stars of the property--AMAZING. Access to kayaks and a canoe was wonderful. In addition, the location was close to many parks with natural springs. We were there for Spring Break and really enjoyed our vacation. No complaints.

Perfect Location!
We loved the setting of this home. It is right on the river and the property is entirely fenced, which was amazing for our dogs. We enjoyed making use of the onsite kayaks and caught a few fish! However, we did feel that the home itself could have been cleaner.

I Could Live Here Forever
We had an excellent stay! The communication was awesome and checking in was a breeze. The instructions and communication prior to arrival were complete and clear. The property is super clean and stocked with basic necessities and even more. However, the most important, the location is way better than what is in the listing description, what a paradise!

Enjoy nature in this postcard perfect cabin
This place was a cozy cabin in a beautiful setting. The kitchen had everything we needed for making our culinary delights. We kayaked and fished on the scenic river. And enjoyed the peace and quiet while relaxing on the covered deck. Our dog had lots of fun running around the fenced in yard. There's also quaint little town not far with cute antique shops and restaurants.

We had an amazing fall trip
We enjoyed being out in the woods. It was such a beautiful property and very peaceful. Our boys 7 & 4 had a blast playing in the large fenced in backyard along with our dog. The dock/patio area down by the river is very nice. Our boys enjoyed playing in the river. We also checked out the springs less than 20 minutes away, gorgeous. All in all we had an amazing time!

Peaceful and serene on the Santa Fe River
My husband and I came up to Brandon to explore the area. We loved The house and the property! It was very comfortable and beautiful spot on the river. The boat house was a lovely place to sit and watch the river. Our 8 year old Beagle had a wonderful time exploring the grounds! We will recommend this beautiful place. Our host Kris had everything ready for us, even after a hurricane. It was perfect! Allison
