About this property

Best view cottage at Salt Springs Resort

Come relax and enjoy this adorable cottage with the best location in the Salt Springs Resort. You will appreciate the gorgeous views and lovely breeze from Little Lake Kerr. Cottage #21 is one of the few cottages available for rent from which you can watch the sunset over the lake every night directly from your front patio.

This 720 sq foot 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage
has everything you need for a comfortable stay including: kitchenware for cooking, gas stove/oven, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, blender, pool towels, board games, tennis raquets & pickelball paddles, poker set, outdoor gas grill and picnic table, cable TV & wifi. Comfortably sleeps 4, but can accommodate 6. Inquire in advance as we can provide a nice queen sized inflatable mattress.

Resort amenities start just 100 steps away from home to the two pools and waterfront including hot tub, game room, volleyball, pickleball, corn hole, horseshoes, shuffleboard, fire pit and more! Bring your boat; there's plenty of parking and a boat ramp on site.

Within walking distance are a Dollar General, post office, the Square Meal for breakfast or lunch, Salt Springs Pizza, post office, hair salon and laundromat. Other nearby restaurants like Maxine's Kitchen, The Grill Out, Odd Todds & Cactus Jacks are a few minutes drive away.

Explore the local area: Salt Springs Recreational Area is across the street and nearby is the Salt Springs Marina where you can launch your boat into the run that brings you to the St. John's River. Juniper, Silver Glen, Silver Springs and Alexander Springs are all within a short drive. Bring your snorkel masks from home and spend a few hours at each spring. No two are alike. Like hiking? Bass fishing? Dirt biking, 4x4'ing (trails begin across the street!) Spectacular sunsets? It's all here!

There's ample parking at the cottage for 2 vehicles including a boat/trailer. Note that Salt Springs Resort charges a one time check-in fee for up to 2 vehicles of $20. We do charge a one time cleaning fee of $50.

Out the door lake view

The cottage has a great view of the lake and great location for the amenities of this resort, but unfortunately, while our boat was parked, some items became missing. Host is great. Place is nice and clean. Just keep your stuff locked up.

Nice holiday house

We went up with our two grandsons to enjoy the springs. The house was very nice and clean when we walked in. We were able to ride our bikes over to salt Springs. The kids and I enjoyed riding our bikes around the property. We paddleboard it on the lake right out front. I would definitely recommend this property. We normally camp, but we sold our RV. It was truly a pleasant stay and priced right. Oh, and the neighbors were very nice.

Perfect Getaway

Krista's cabin was absolutely amazing for our little getaway. It was decorated so cute, everything was clean and it has everything that we could possibly need for cooking and relaxing. If we forgot something Krista had it. Check-in was a breeze and Amy at the Gate was the sweetest and so helpful letting us know about the area and best times to get to the springs. The view was beautiful to wake up to every morning and have coffee. The wildlife was so fun to watch. We played shuffleboard every day, went to the springs, utilize the pool and attempted horseshoes. There's just so much to do right across the street that we are going to have to come back. My boyfriend and I have been bragging to all of our friends about how amazing our trip was. We will definitely be booking again!

Peace

Cabin 21 is clean, well-equipped, very nice. It is close to pools and lake, actually most activities that can be enjoyed on your Salt Springs Resort vacation. Three very close options for eating out: Square Meal, Salt Springs Pizza, and The Grill Out-don't order a double burger unless you're starving.

Weekend at the Lake

Perfect little waterfront cabin. Clean and perfect location for a weekend on the lake. Beautiful view of little Lake Kerr out the front window and screened in porch to sit out and enjoy the view. We brought our golf cart and boat and had an awesome stay. Campground is clean and everyone is super friendly. Krista was very great in communicating and we are ready to book our next stay there.

Great place to stay. The cabin was spotless, had very nice furnishings, an upgraded shower and had everything we needed. It truly felt like home. The owner was not on premise, however, she was very easy to communicate with via text and very quick to respond. We hope to be here again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Krista McDonald

Host profile image
Krista & Kevin purchased this cottage in 2021 for a winter getaway and we are happy to share it with you. We love the peace and quiet of the Ocala National Forest and the close proximity to hiking and springs.

Why they chose this property

Front row view of Little Lake Kerr and gorgeous sunsets. Steps to the lake and lodge, resort pools and amenities. There are very few cottages for rent within the resort that offer such a wonderful view and location.
