Outdoorsman/Artist Retreat on the Sopchoppy River

Lovely cabin on beautiful, 2-acre mixed pine & hardwood hammock, overlooking the Sopchoppy River. Perfect for kayaking, canoeing, biking, fishing or just "being." Less than 30 minutes from the Gulf (saltwater fishing), one hour from St. George Island State Park and beaches and Apalachicola (U.S. top ten getaway). Large deck and gazebo overlooks river. House is 750 square feet, 3 years old. Heart pine floors, cypress trim, lots of windows, cathedral ceilings, large picture window overlooking river. Eight foot deck borders two sides, facing river. Fully furnished. Deer, rabbit, racoon, owl and hawk plentiful. Very quiet and peaceful. Bordered by Wakulla National Forest.

Quaint, small town offers grocery store, botanical shop, tackle store, gourmet pizza shop, gourmet coffee shop, cafe (& recording studio), book store, gift store and seafood restaurant. Fresh gulf seafood available in abundant supply within 20 minutes. Home of the Sopchoppy Opry (country and bluegrass) and the Worm Gruntin' Festival. Considered an artist and outdoorsman's paradise.

Dates for rental are mid-May to early June. Rental is $450 per week. Exact dates are negotiable but need to fall roughly within that time frame.
