Sleeps 4 with a king and 2 twin beds (can be setup w 4 twins instead). Unlimited wireless internet via satellite 42 inch flatscreen in living room. . Smart TV is set with Netflix, Prime and Hulu setup to stream movies. Country cottage kitchen. Front and back porch. Deer and wild turkey visit each day. It's very peaceful and quiet out here. I love it, particularly in the fall and winter. Summer brings lots of mosquitoes and is not the perfect time unless you plan on staying inside a lot, that's why I charge a little less then. There's also bird seed here if you'd like to put it out for the birds, as well as corn for the deer and turkey. We frequently have the Piliated woodpecker in the yard as well as the occasional hawk and egret. Once in a while there will be rabbits, possum and raccoon. And, if you are an early riser, the deer are in the yard pretty much everyday about 5am. And, the wild turkey. They visit daily. If you want to ride your bike there’s lots of trails in the Osceola National Forest nearby that are ATV, UTV friendly. Pets are welcome for a $10 per night extra fee, with a discount if staying 7 nights or longer. We provide a welcome kit for our furry guests that includes treats, toy and poop bags. Lake City, Florida Lodging, For Rent: 2 Bedroom 1 bath Cabin in the Osceola Forest, ten miles outside Lake City, Florida Short-term Vacation Rental located in the middle of the Osceola National Forest, great place for; great hiking, camping, horseback riding, Olustee Battlefield Historical Reenactment!1 hour to Jacksonville and less than 40 miles from the Gator Bowl (NFL Football), 25 minutes – Gainesville – (University of Florida and Gator National Speedway),1-1/2 hours to St. Augustine,2 hours to Daytona Beach,1 hour to Silver Springs/Ocala,3 hours to Tampa/St. Petersburg,2-1/2 hours to Orlando/Disney World, 25 minutes Gainesville Airport,1-1/2 hours Jacksonville Airport Fishing the old time way... There's several small lakes a five minute's drive away. You'll just have to bring your gear, dig worms or buy bait and head for the woods. We have a hoe waiting for you... :-) Many people come for the ATVing, as the Osceola Forest has many marked ATV trails that are free to ride. Located in the Osceola National Forest, East of Lake City, close to the Olustee Battlefield, 30 miles from Itcheetucknee River, the Santafee, and the Suwannee Rivers. Great for hiking, fishing and tubing the river. If you're wanting to go see the Jags play, it's about 50 miles away, the Gators are about 40, and we even have our own little speedway if you're into racing. Perhaps one of the most popular things to do here is ATVing. The miles and miles of free atv trails that wander through the forest all around all the cabins. There's also many geocaches hidden nearby. For those working during their stay, the cottage is 11 miles from the Lake City VA Hospital, 12 from the Lake City Medical Center, 8 miles from Haeco Air Craft plant, and 12 miles from Walmart. You have the whole house. My husband and I are gone most of the time as we travel out west in the summer to camp-host and spend a lot of the winter visiting. It's wonderful out here as all the neighbors are retired, or work for the state. Secluded forest area. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Smoking outside only ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Gym - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 850 square feet ## Similar properties ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100870000/100863200/100863173/c08bd98a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Modern & Convenient 3/2 Home Lake City - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-26&endDate=2025-11-27&selected=100863173&PinnedHotelID=100863173&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89170000/89169700/89169614/9307c62b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy, Peaceful and Quiet Deerwood Cottage Lake City - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-26&endDate=2025-11-27&selected=89169614&PinnedHotelID=89169614&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105220000/105219600/105219590/a402e19b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Apartment in Lake City, only minutes from the baseball fields and food!

We en up yes our time at Bear Cabin. Clean, had everything we need including heaters owners bought specifically for our stay because of cold front that came through. Very appreciative of that! A quiet neighborhood, great fenced yard for our dogs who thoroughly enjoyed their stay too! Only negative is it’s a little awkward that the owners have their RV parked on the property about 40 yards from the rental so not private at all. They were super kind though and very helpful with anything we needed and we had a great time! ##### Regan C. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly C.

It was perfect for what we needed it for. Such a quiet neighborhood. We slept like babies while here. I really enjoyed being able to walk my dogs everyday without worrying about traffic or other dogs bothering us. We had everything we needed in the house. Will definitely be back to explore more of the forest! Just beautiful there. ##### Kimberly C.

My husband and I came for the ATV riding, and it did not disappoint. The cabin was fun for the whole family, it had everything we needed. The kids especially loved the tire swing! The owners, neighbors and caretaker were super sweet and accommodating - you couldn't ask for nicer people. ##### Terra N. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark O.

Not too far from town but far enough to be secluded. The simple county feel home is well stocked with just about everything. You'll see deer and turkey on travels back & forth to town. Sharon is great to work with and very responsive. ##### Mark O. Stayed 32 nights in May 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher C.

Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorrie W. Jan 4, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint, cozy and quiet! We needed a quiet location to spend New Years Eve because our dog has noise anxiety and our neighborhood typically has many fireworks going off. We specifically chose this property because of its remote location. Although Sharon couldn't guarantee a quiet stay, she did consult with the caretaker regarding previous noise on holidays. Since they reported it had been quiet, we went ahead and booked. And sure enough, it was extremely quiet. In addition, as someone who is always concerned with my dog's safety, (and having stayed at other dog friendly vrbo properties), there is a fenced area for dogs which is extremely convenient. Thank you Sharon for adding that feature! ##### Lorrie W. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise L.
