Charming Santa Fe River Cottage - 10-15 min from 3 of FLA's most popular springs

Renovated in 2022, this is a 2 bedroom river cottage just a short walk from the Santa Fe River. Conveniently located near several Florida springs, great dining, & unique shopping. Check out our guest book for more info. **We highly recommend purchasing trip insurance that will cover a variety of issues that may arise prior or during your trip. Examples are medical events that prevent or shorten your stay, vehicle problems or accidents, and natural disasters (i.e. tropical storms and hurricanes) that require mandatory or suggested evacuation. Florida in the summer is always subject to strong storms which often cause lengthy power outages that can affect the property and could electively cause guests to shorten their stay. Trip insurance would potentially cover the remaining days depending on the policy purchased.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Huck's Hideaway! This lovely, quiet home is the perfect base camp for exploring several springs and state parks in a very close proximity. While relaxing at the house, we saw turkeys, deer and a huge barrred owl. We hope to come back and would highly refer/recommend this lovely home and property. TY!
