About this cottage rental
Note: If you see this property on Craigslist or any other site, it is a scam. We are currently only listing it on VRBO.
Kick your feet up, sit back and relax at this riverside retreat! This historic log cabin was once owned by the Boy Scouts of America. With its original stone mason chimney and wood burning fireplace, rustic log walls and exposed wood ceiling, it will surely evoke feelings of nostalgia and old time Americana. The historic cabin has since been expanded and updated to include all the modern comforts of home. There is surely something here for everyone! Relax outside in the hammock overlooking the river at sunrise or try your hand at crabbing, fishing, or kayaking*. In the evening, treat yourself to s'mores over the rustic fire pit while star gazing or play some board games snuggled up together or put your feet up with a great movie on the large flatscreen. If you're looking for a change of scenery, you are minutes away from the Jacksonville Zoo or the sites and museums in downtown Jacksonville. Every historic First Coast location is within your grasp. This property comes equipped with crab traps, fishing poles, and beach towels & chairs for your entertainment. If you would like to bring your boat, ask about the use of the 10,000 lb. boat lift to keep your boat high and dry or rent a captained boat for the day and enjoy a day on the majestic rivers of Jacksonville. We invite you to come visit this historic riverfront hideaway!
(*Note: kayak rental is an add'l fee of $75 + tax per stay).

We throughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin by the river this week. The cabin was beautiful and had a rustic charm and everything was very clean and spacious. We will be going back again as the host met all our expectations. If you want peace and quiet this is your place to be.

We loved our stay at the Historic Riverfront Cabin. Pulling up you fall in love with the rustic charm and amazing grounds. The docks and huge outdoor spaces will have us coming back! The cabin has a rustic fish camp feel while being very comfortable, spacious, and well appointed. You have all the amenities needed and a very well stocked kitchen with plenty of stables. Lots of extra outdoor gear too! The host is very friendly, responsive and answers any questions promptly. A wonderful trip for our family.
