River Bend Cottage on the Suwannee River
Dog-Friendly Suwannee River Escape | Screened Porch, Firepit & Private Dock
Discover the magic of “Natural Florida” at this charming riverfront getaway—your perfect home base for relaxation, adventure, and everything in between. Just under 40 miles from Gainesville, this inviting cottage sits along the iconic Suwannee River and offers a peaceful, family-friendly setting with endless outdoor fun right outside your door.

A shared boat ramp gives you easy river access, and guests can enjoy a variety of activities including volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, tetherball, a swing set, and a private cornhole game set just for your home. When evening comes, gather around the firepit for s’mores beneath the stars.
Inside, the home’s open-concept design creates a warm, welcoming space ideal for family time. Relax on plush seating, stream your favorite shows on the smart TV, or whip up meals in the fully equipped stainless-steel kitchen.
