The Sweetwater Spring Rental
Cabin is located in the Juniper Prairie Wilderness Area of the
Ocala National Forest in the Silver Springs area. Gated access
to the cabin is via approximately 1/2 mile of maintained sandy
lane. The cabin, built in 1935, is a rustic 2 bedroom cabin
that sleeps 12, and has a full bath, equipped kitchen including
microwave, coffee pot, toaster, dishes and silverware. The
living room has a rustic fireplace for those cozy nights. All
you need to bring is your linens, pillows and food. The cabin
is sited on the incredible Juniper Creek inland waterway that
flows through the Juniper Prairie Wilderness area.
Additionally, the cabin site overlooks scenic Sweetwater Spring
and includes an observation deck sited directly over the
spring. Unfortunately, due to the ecologically sensitive nature
of the site, no pets are allowed inside or outside the cabin
area.
For active leisure fun, 2 canoes with
paddles and life vests are furnished for guests. Canoeists can
negotiate the famous Juniper Canoe Run and egress at Juniper
Wayside on SR 19. Or, if you are looking for a more passive
activity, you can enjoy nature at it’s finest by sitting on the
screened porch, the observation deck, or by taking a leisure
walk in the surrounding woods.
If you are looking to get away from the
hustle and bustle, Sweetwater Cabin is the place to disconnect.
Don’t even bother to bring a cell phone or beeper.
