This is a great little roadside motel. Remodeled and fresh paint. I would say I did not give 5 stars for 2 reasons: the price is just high for both the area and the type of motel it is. I would normally expect to pay $100 not $200. And the “balconies” you kind of anticipate having an actual balcony over the river but it’s really just a little deck built behind each room. They are cute but I would not really consider that a balcony. Very close to Fanning Springs. Pretty loud at night due to trucks on the road outside.

The staff was very nice and accommodating. Bring your own toilet paper and kleenex. The tp was EXTREMELY thin, no kleenex. Also, a deck of cards. The wifi was sporadic and so no tv. Beautiful setting on the Suawnee River, but alittle noise from US 19. The pool looked nice, although we didn't use it. The beds are comfortable and the room was extremely clean and updated. I would go back.
Not to be political, but we saw the American flag everywhere and everyone was extremely polite and nice.

Awesome Place

Wonderful place ! Unique, nostalgic what I call Old Roadside Travel Lodge ver reminiscent of the 50/60’s. Very well cared for and kept. The “backyard “ by the river is great. Fire pits, small pavilion, different sitting areas, huge dock at the water. I stayed in a very newly remodeled room. Very nice-not what I was expecting. Comfy bed, large shower, little terrace off the back just right for morning coffee, although I used the pavilion since it was raining and wanted to be closer to the water. Very friendly and hospitable staff !! Definitely look forward to staying there again ! Well done, Suwannee Gables 👏👏👏

This motel has been renovated so well! It's updated with a nice deck on the backside to enjoy the Suwannee River and has a wonderful gathering yard on the river for guests to enjoy. They've done a great job with this property and are very friendly. I would recommend staying here to anyone wanting to enjoy the area and the river!
