The Confluence Cabin: at the mouth of the Ichetucknee River CONFLUENCE: /kŏn′floo͞-əns/ noun1. 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 River pours into the Santa Fe. The sprawling 2 acre property has more than a full acre fenced in, making it the perfect spot for children to play on the tree swing and for dogs to run off leash. Bringing your personal boat or jet skis? The community boat ramp/launch is just a few yards away. There are also pontoon and jetski rentals nearby.At the cabin, you will enjoy the views from our resort style boardwalk, multiple docks and covered pavilion, which features a twin size bed swing overlooking the river. 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. Cool off in the river with a swim (or snorkel) or fish until your bait or daylight runs out. The State Park down the road offers longer float and kayak trips, swimming holes and even scuba diving in caves. Host Pro Tip: When you stay at the Confluence Cabin, you get access to its private neighborhood tube launch that is a 40 minute float down the crystal clear Ichetucknee (floating coolers allowed). Avoid the long lines, entrance fees, tube rental fees, parking, and shuttles at the nearby parks/springs with your stay. Cabin guests have free access to tubes (2 singles, 1 double, 1 cooler), stand up paddle boards (2), regular kayaks (5), canoe (1), and the crystal clear glass bottom "manatee viewer" kayak (1). Best part? The float ends right at the cabin's private dock and you can do it over and over again. 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 all the essentials 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 for your streaming services. The house has loads of games inside and outside including Foosball, Nintendo 64, Cornhole, Croquet, a Bingo Wheel, Playing Cards, Cribbage, Board Games, as well as Books and Toys for younger kids.*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
