About this cottage rental
This cute little cottage is the perfect getaway for the couple who loves the Florida outdoors. It is called the Dragonfly Cottage and is located just off the Suwanee River in Fanning Springs Florida. Fronting little Bell spring, one of the counties 63 beautiful springs; it is the ideal spot for swimming, kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding.
This area is called Florida's nature Coast; with an impressive network of bicycle trails close by, as well as quaint Gulf coast communities like Steinhatchee, Suwanee, and Cedar Key.
Enjoy 1 acre of spring front property with majestic live oak trees, a canoe & 2 kayaks as well as a dock, and fire pit. The cottage itself is a tiny 256 sq. ft. under air but includes big amenities like a separate bedroom with a queen size bed, cozy electric fireplace, a full inside bath with corner shower. The kitchen area has been newly remodeled and updated including a kitchen island with seating for two and everything you need to cook with included. There is an efficiency size refrigerator, microwave, two burner hotplate, electric skillet, griddle, crock pot, blender and a multifunction toaster/oven . Outside, there is a private outdoor shower stall for showering or rinsing off after a long day of outdoor activities, and you can watch the sun go down while enjoying a glass of wine sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the covered porch at the end of the day.
Keep in mind that the Suwannee river levels can occasionally rise according to rainfall amounts as far up-river as the state of Georgia. When this happens; the rivers brown water comes in and covers the springs in the area and my spring will not look like the photo provided. We call this a "brown out" and since it is an "act of God" which I cannot foresee, refunds will NOT be provided after the designated cancelation date,
You can monitor these river levels by following the Wilcox station at: http://www.mysuwanneeriver.org/realtime/river-levels.php

Very cozy queen cottage. Lots of nature. Lots of areas to explore along the coast line. Lots of little shops to check out. People were very nice in the area. Would definitely stay here again.

Unfortunately this was the one place I've stayed that I wouldn't return and left earlyThe pros1-the property is quite nice, they have some fairy lights in one of the trees that was a nice surprise, the wildlife in the water was nice. 2- the bed was comfortable 3- the owner was responsive and helpful about letting me arrive an hour early. The cons1- I was looking for a quiet retreat in nature, unfortunately the highway noise was loud and the neighbors were playing loud music and riding dirt bikes up and down the road during my entire stay so I didn't get to enjoy the yard. I understand the owner has no control over this, but it's worth mentioning if you're considering this place for a quiet get away. 2- the ac vent rattled constantly keeping me up at night and was full of mold. 3- the shower is not only in need of repairs but proper cleaning 4- the pillows were flat, for me this was fine because I doubled them up (I was there by myself) but if you have two people I don't think the pillows would have been satisfactory 5- there is a gate at the driveway with a padlock, this just felt like a hassle I wasn't expecting and didn't want to deal with every time I left.6- I was also disappointed that there was no deadbolt, the keypad door lock has no indicator on the inside to show if/when the door is locked. Side note- they have a doorbell camera on the front porch. Personally this made me uncomfortable and I felt like I couldn't sit on or enjoy the porch because of it.
