A Cabin in the Woods: Lafayette Blue Springs
This time we’re recommending glamping. That’s camping, for those of us who love the outdoors and nature— and air conditioning, beds/bedrooms, full kitchens, and a screened porch to enjoy the deep-woods ambiance. Take your pick: the hanging porch swing, one of four rocking chairs, or the picnic table, all enclosed on a wraparound screened porch.
Several of Florida’s state parks offer cabins for rentals, at about $100/night. Google Florida’s state parks and narrow your search for parks with cabins. We’d give you link but we’re currently occupied, relaxing in our cabin and writing on the iPad. You can figure it out! If you’d like a link, or have any questions just leave a comment. We’ll give you more details later. Secret: we’re hooked!
For now we’ll tell you we arrived at sunset and are tucked away in Lafayette Blue Springs state park in Mayo, Florida. Our cabin is new, and divine. We’re on the shores of the Suwannee River and anticipating swimming in Blue Springs and the river, taking lots of photos, and simply enjoying this part of Florida – off the beaten path – Florida, without TV or phone distractions. Hello, books. The perfect way to pass a night in a cabin in the woods. Porch swing and a good book!
Yes, there’s central heating and cooling but on this spring night, there’s no need for either. This is a five star getaway on a two star budget!
Here's a sneak peak of the inside of our accommodations!
