Hot Tub~Lakefront~2 Fire Pits~Pedal Boat~Fish~KING
This was a great weekend getaway!!! The space was amazing and we had such a wonderful relaxing time here! We would recommend this to anyone visiting the area!

Lakefront guesthouse by I-75 and the FL/GA line
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. The inside was very clean and comfortable and the backyard was great for our 2 year old. He loved playing in the sand and we had a great view of the lake. Was also a short drive to several restaurants, groceries, etc. Hosts provided plenty of extras and all the info we needed during our stay.

Lakefront home. sleeps 4- 1 bedroom 1 bath
Best AirBNB stay ever! Home was beautiful! Entry and Exit was super easy! Very well stocked and super homie. Host cared more about the comfort of the guest than saving money on toilet paper and paper towels. Bathroom/kitchen stocked with everything you may have forgotten. Will definitely stay again if I'm every in Valdosta. THANK YOU!

Sante Fe Lakehouse with Canal for your Boat
Beautiful home on a perfect lake - I rented both houses for a shared bachelor week, and every was amazing. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, including setting us up with 7 kayaks. The houses were both better than they looked in the pictures, with large modern kitchens and nice furniture. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were nice. Lastly, the docks are great, and there are lots of birds and fish around. Sunsets and sunrises were beautiful, and the property was largely shaded so it was pretty cool throughout the day. There was a bunch of parking.

Enjoy beautiful sunsets at "Turtle Cove"!
Enjoyed our stay as always. The dock is perfect for enjoying the beautiful lake.

Gated Golf Getaway close to Springs and UF
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! Great place and very central to multiple springs. Our kids especially enjoyed the outdoor seating area with the fire pit

Lake Front, Hot Tub, Kayaks, Fire Pit, Paddleboard
If we could give more than 5 stars we would!!! Our sweet rescue, Waylon, gave it 5 paws also! The house was even better than described and the location is perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle! Greg and Megan were perfect hosts, very responsive and helpful. For peace and serenity to enjoy God’s creation, this is the place!

Lake house - Kayaks and Fishing Poles
We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront Airbnb! The house itself is absolutely lovely—tastefully decorated, cozy, and incredibly welcoming. It immediately felt like a home away from home, which made our time in Florida all the more special. The hosts were fantastic—very responsive, kind, and genuinely friendly. They made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish, and their attention to detail really showed. This rental was the perfect spot for us while we wrapped up a few final things before our move from Ohio to Florida. Peaceful, comfortable, and well cared for—we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend!
Cabins in Lake City

Reality Check / Salt Springs with a view
The place is private and very well stocked for all of your needs. Super clean and comfortable. Close to all the fun forest activities and springs as well as shopping and fun places to eat. Would definitely stay again.

A charming cedar log cabin tucked in the woods.
Our stay was so peaceful. The home was clean and cozy. It felt like we were in the jungle, which was really cool. The wrap around deck was beautiful. Bina and Sanil were great hosts.

Rustic Farm Cabin, Romantic, Secluded, & Private.
We unfortunately only stayed one night on our way down to South Florida, but this place was a great stop. Super easy check-in, quiet and comfy for a good night’s sleep — and the best part? A funny goat and a pig wandered up to say good morning! Was unexpected and a great way to start the day. Hope to stay here again if we're ever passing through.

Charming Lakefront Log Home
This was the perfect getaway for a long weekend. The cabin was cozy and welcoming and had everything you could need amenity wise. We loved fishing off the covered dock and cruising the lake in the kayaks. Would recommend for friends or family vacation and will keep on the list for a return visit!

Cabin 3 Bowman's on Santa Fe River near Springs
Bowman’s landing was beautiful, my daughters had a great time and can’t wait to come back. Nancy was an excellent host

Camp Fox Den. A waterfront A-frame with a view.
You can't put a price on a good, sweet, peaceful vibe with a vintage twang. We went on the full moon and boy did we get a show over the water! We loved our fun and beautiful stay. We had to leave early early in the morning and just remember to read the info about taking the trash to the dump because we were unable to do so and I like to leave things really nice after I leave. We will cherish this vacation and hope to return again soon for a dose of happiness and forest therapy. Loved it!

Shiloh's cottage Alpha
Aydee and Javier were incredible hosts. Their cabin was beautiful, clean, and cozy - perfect for our weekend kayaking trip. The location of the cabin was perfect; on a ton of land which made it very peaceful. Aydee was very quick to respond and even came by to introduce herself which was an absolute pleasure. I cannot recommend this place enough, especially if you're aiming to take advantage of the endless outdoor activities the area has to offer. Thank you again, Aydee + Javier, we will certainly be back!

The Griffin Ranch Historic Cottage
What a beautiful week-end of Memorial Day we had at Griffin Ranch ! Nestled in the woods, the old cabins offer a perfect mix of rustic charm and peaceful seclusion. Waking up to birdsong, enjoying coffee on the porch surrounded by trees and stargazing at night. It was exactly the nature retreat we needed. The cabins are full of character, clean and well equipped for a confortable stay. We left feeling rested, recharged and grateful. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a break from the noise of everyday life!

Oasis Paradise Retreat
The home is very spacious. We enjoyed our time there. We were able to use the pool and the grands had so much fun. The a/c was phenomenal, we were cool and comfortable.

Cozy Retreat, Open Backyard, in a quiet Cul De Sac
Kimberly was very kind and responsive. Her place worked great for my work crew for the week. Would absolutely book this place again. Make sure to check out Ichetucknee springs while in the area you won’t be disappointed! Also XAPA has some of the best coffee I’ve ever had.

Luxury in The Country
Jon’s place was very welcoming and comfortable, like a home away from home. It was so peaceful which is exactly what we needed for my birthday trip from Jax. Above and beyond when it came to amenities, the grill was an awesome touch using it along side the beautiful scenery was perfect. And they provided any and all kinds of dishes and utensils you could need. 10/10 would recommend!!

Our River House
We really enjoyed our stay on the river. The house is in a great location with lots of things to do in the area including parks and good restaurants. Chris keeps his place very clean and everything about the house was as described in the listing. We had our own boats and it was so easy to get down to the river and paddle on the Suwannee without having to drive to a canoe launch. I hope to come back again.

Cute & Cozy FL Home
This was our second time staying in Alyssa’s place. Her place was just as good as it was the first time we stayed there. Very clean house and just as described. We will definitely stay again when we are back in the area.

Stylish Cabin - Nearby Springs
Enjoyed my stay at the cabin & will definitely be back!

Farm Glamper!
So peaceful and beautiful! Absolutely love staying here it's our second time staying will differently be returning.

“The Peaceful Palace”
We absolutely loved our stay! Nicholas was very easy to communicate with, and very kind, and the house had everything we needed. The private driveway is beautiful, and the surroundings are very peaceful. The house is very cute - unique and full of character. I slept on the bottom bunk, which squeaked a bit whenever I turned, so it was a somewhat restless night for me, but the rest of my family really enjoyed their beds. Overall, we had a very nice stay!

Your guide to Lake City
All About Lake City
Lake City is a small town regarded as the Gateway to Florida, thanks to its northern location midway between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. Although its name might imply there’s only one lake in the community, you’ll find several bodies of water fed by clear freshwater springs here, making the town a popular spot for all sorts of water and lakeside activities. Anglers come to try their luck in the local pools and streams, which are home to white bass, sunfish, and pickerel. Kayakers launch into the wetlands near Alligator Park or picnic on the shores. The town also makes a great starting point for exploring Columbia County and Northern Florida, where you’ll discover state and local parks threaded with hiking and biking trails and abundant freshwater sources like Ichetucknee Springs, famous for its warm-water tubing.
Downtown Lake City centers on Marion Street, featuring shops, eateries, and several renovated historic buildings, including a famous hotel that has hosted numerous musicians and other celebrities. The town’s sense of community revolves around a creative atmosphere, with live music, art exhibitions, and a growing brewery scene.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake City
Like the rest of Florida, Lake City has a humid, subtropical climate. It can be hot in summer, with strong sunshine. Sun-worshippers may choose to visit between June and September, while spring temperatures are comfortably warm. If you plan to visit during this time of year, you may want to consider reserving your Lake City vacation rental for Memorial Weekend. Each May, the Florida Folk Festival takes place in White Springs, just over 10 miles from Lake City, and features live music, traditional craft demonstrations, and a children’s music and play area.
Visiting in mid-October will allow you to take in the Alligator Warrior Festival, a celebration of the Seminole commander, Alligator Warrior, who lived in the area, with music, living history displays and demonstrations, and food and crafts.
