River Shack on the Sister River

Welcome to the "River Shack" If you are looking for a comfy, cozy, cabin in the woods by a River - you have found it! This place is located at Steelfield Fish Camp.. it is a Fish Camp established in the 1950's with lots of character and charm! It is an eclectic mix of older "fish-camp's" and newer nicer homes, but lots of GREAT folks who will welcome you with open arms. There is access to the boat ramp for a $2 ramp fee. Bring your jet ski's, bass boat's and buggies to ride the roads and the rivers. There is also an RV power hook up if you want to bring a camper. The house is simple and cozy, you will LOVE the screened porch, and it does have wifi! The fishing is AWESOME, and you can fish fresh water river or salt water bay on the same trip! The location is just 20 minutes or so to Pier Park and the World's Most Beautiful Beaches (traffic dependent), and you can access the Choctowhatchee Bay in about 20 min from the boat ramp. There is a great restaurant at the foot of the Hwy 331 Bridge that is a very nice 30 min boat ride away. Location is also only 15 min from Latitude Margaritaville, the newest 55 plus community in Florida. The road to the River Shack is 11 miles off Hwy 79, most is paved with exception of a 3 mile stretch - but it is well maintained and should be no problem unless it is very rainy, in which case it is better to have a truck. The boardwalk down to the river was damaged by a recent flood and not available at this time, but the view off the screened porch of the swamp is still amazing!

River Shack
We really enjoyed our trip here! It is quiet and peaceful. The WiFi is very weak but this didn’t bother us much. Our dogs also loved it and we loved being able to bring them!

Perfectly Serene
We needed a place close to Panama City Beach foe my daughter’s surprise engagement. My BF and I were very pleased that this was only 25 minutes away from beaches, shopping, and restaurants. The property was secluded and extremely private which made it a perfectly romantic getaway. The WiFi was very weak but that was perfectly fine since we really didn’t want any outside distractions. If we are ever in PCB again we will stay here again.

UNPLUG & RECHARGE! Cabin a la PRIVATE & COMFY
Darn it I forgot to sleep on the porch! Had so much fun I couldn't wait to get back each day versus dinner with friends! The house is very cute with everything you need and the AC is COLD!! The patio is divine from the furniture and set up to feeling like you are IN nature! I sent the owners a photo that I hope I can upload. READ VERONICA'S DESCRIPTION so that you'll find it all as delightful in every way as I did versus griping about a gravel road for which she forewarned! Veronica and Becky were super. My gosh it was great to get away from NOISY ATLANTA AND THE STREET RACERS to unplug and recharge!
