The Confluence Cabin: At the mouth of the Ichetucknee
About this cabin rental
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

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.

We had an amazing stay! We loved sitting on the porch and watching the birds eat from the bird feeder. Kris was a great host and made sure to have everything we needed!

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!

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 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!

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!

This really was a fun place for our family gathering with our adult children and 3 of the grand dogs. Lovely property with board walk to the river and many old live oak trees. Access to private swimming area and kyack launch on the crystal clear Ichenetuchnee River. Hostess was thoughtful and even called before our visit to see if we had any questions. Loved everything about the house, property, and location.

This was an absolutely beautiful setting by the river, perfectly set up for guests and their furry friends. You can tell how much the owners love and welcome dogs, and we so much appreciated that. Fenced yard and gorgeous boardwalk that leads out to the river with a covered sitting area and different level docks. We brought our JetSki and explored several springs not far from the property. It was also a short kayak to there to talk to the river right around the corner. Very cute towns nearby for anything you need. This was a perfect spot and Kris make sure we were comfortable and have everything we need. We will definitely be back.

This was a great place to relax by the river with friends and family! Beautiful scenery with lots of wildlife sightings. Our host Kris did a wonderful job to have the place ready for arrival plus a few extra nice touches that helped us enjoy our stay. I would recommend this rental for anyone else who would want to "get to know" the real Florida!

Our family and a couple of friends thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of nature that surrounds you at this property. Bird watching from the upper deck, deer wandering on property and manatees in the river. We experienced them all. The property manager called before our arrival to check on us and to be sure we had her number. Thanks Kris! This was our second stay here and have recommended it to others.

Everything was supplied for those who chose water activities or just river watching. A beautiful Florida setting and home was enjoyed by the entire family.

Access was well described, clean, accommodating, and welcoming. Close to town and the springs. It was beautiful well kept and serene. The dock was an added bonus to fish and my 2 little dogs dis not want to leave. It was fenced in and a lot of room for them to run. Great find for families and friends alike. I have already recommended it to a friend and will be booking again! Great place to share and create memories for a lifetime! The rooms stayed dark for sleeping and though we did not get the chance to utilize the kayaks, we will for sure next time! This was an amazing place. I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed and you certainly will not want to leave.

If you are looking to relax next to the river or do some kayaking right from the cabin, I would suggest doing it Sunday through Thursday. Saturday was a constant stream of boaters and heavy wake. Good for people watching, but not good for fishing or kayaking by the cabin. That said, we really enjoyed our stay at the cabin.

We had such an awesome time at this house on the river. My only regret is not bringing our dog. The entire property is fenced in a beautiful. The boardwalk is so nice with a new boathouse to sit and watch the boats go by and fish from the dock. We canoed up the Ichetucknee to Hodor park then floated back down to the house. House was clean and had everything you would need, including condiments, which was nice to not have to buy all of those. Can’t wait to come back!

It was a small group of us with dogs. The fenced in yard is perfect for the dogs. The host had dog beds everywhere!! The property is beautiful, we even saw a doe! We used the kayaks provided. It’s a short row to the confluence and the Itchetuknee river. Everyone enjoyed their stay and the host was accommodating and easy to talk to. Everyone had an amazing time.

First, the property is amazing, bar none one of the best rentals I have ever booked. Peaceful, quite and very relaxing.
Second, Kris is so accommodating and communicates very well, versus other owners that I have rented from.
She literally has everything you could ever need stocked as well as every kitchen item you could ever imagine.
Just bring your own food of your preference.
There is a Dollar store within 5-10 minutes away, that I could best classify as a "super mini Walmart". They had everything there. Produce, milk, eggs, lunch foods, wine, beer. I cannot underscore how well stocked that Dollar store was.
Overall A++++ and 5 stars all around.
Thank you Kris, for sharing such a wonderful place with us!

Wildlife abounds on this stunningly beautiful property. The deck and boardwalk are absolutely great. Deer, otters and other wildlife abound...owls, ospreys, pileated woodpeckers. This is truly stunning verdant valley. We kayaked the Santa Fe into Ichetucknee, and also hit several other springs in the area.

We have been to this property in the past and loved it. We were pleasantly surprised with the additions to the property. The boardwalk and gazebo were beautiful. This is the first time brining our dogs it was definitely a dog friendly environment. Can’t wait to go back again.

We rented this to celebrate our daughter’s 18th birthday. She wanted to go back and float down the Ichetuknee with some friends. The weather was great and the house was just right. We had access to the Ichetuknee and there were plenty of floats and kayaks for us to use. We would definitely go back. It was so nice to sit on the back porch or the dock and just enjoy the beautiful scenery. Kris has everything you could need to enjoy your time.

BEWARE WHEN RENTING THIS PROPERTY!!!!
The property maybe nice, big and pet friendly, but if would of known what the owner was like, I would not rent it as my "Sanity is Priceless". If I damaged something on the property, I will gladly pay. But I did not damaged anything at all, but this owner is looking for ways to charge additional money.
Not to mention, the owner told me personally that her neighbors had been watching us and what we're doing and how many people are there. While I agree to renting the property, I did not agree to be spied on like that. EXTREMELY CREEPY!!!! Altogether, the owner charged me additional $300 cleaning fees on top of cleaning fee that was included in the rental. I went ahead and paid it as I know not to negotiate with crazies and as stated above, my SANITY IS PRICELESS.
