Wakulla River Hidden Cottage is a lovely 2 bedroom/1 bath and nature lover’s retreat. The cottage is nestled on a partially wooded lot and is just a 4-minute walk to the gorgeous spring-fed Wakulla River, to the park, boat ramp, and community dock. A large screened porch runs the length of the cottage and a wide kitchen window overlooks the lovely private back yard. Explore the river in a comfortable Old Town canoe (with seat backs and cup holders). The canoe is available to rent from us for a reasonable rate. Or relax at the house in front of a large screen smart tv and watch movies on a rainy day. Grill out or read a book under an umbrella on the back yard deck or walk the wooded neighborhood. Enjoy the private backyard and the colorful perennial flowers and garden spot. Start your day with coffee or morning meditation from a private deck that sits just off of the kitchen, high among the trees, and overlooks a wooded walking path that winds through the woods along the side of the cottage. You will love this sweet cottage and will return home after your visit renewed and refreshed! The cottage is so close to a plethora of parks, places to paddle and hike, the coast and is just 20 minutes from south Tallahassee. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a river ### Things to do - Kayak - Hiking/biking trails 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 ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69920000/69913700/69913619/0f4468e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wakulla River Retreat - a nature lover’s paradise Crawfordville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 32 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=69913619&PinnedHotelID=69913619&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108410000/108408700/108408667/dad3a8f0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pet friendly Kayak with the manatees Crawfordville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=108408667&PinnedHotelID=108408667&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72100000/72099000/72098950/c75ebd3c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Watch the Manatees Swim by from This Peaceful Retreat with a Private Dock Crawfordville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=72098950&PinnedHotelID=72098950&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66140000/66139200/66139104/2f1150fa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peace on the river.
