Cabin vacation rentals in Otter Creek

We have been coming here for about 3 years now, it’s our all-time favorite place to escape to for some 1-1 time after a rough week! It’s a gorgeous location deep in the woods near Ocala National Forest. The property is amazing, with a big spring and lots of wooded area. If you’re into the outdoors, there’s plenty to do in the area just a short drive away. Our favorite feature is the hot tub overlooking the property. It’s so relaxing and peaceful at night! Only downside is maybe the public bathrooms/showers, as it gets very hot during the summer, but still well worth the stay. Worth the trip up from Tampa every couple months to truly unwind!

Quick dream get away!!!! Our family is chill and love the family time and I find this to be one of the best spots to hang out in general: It has the jacuzzi for any adult that needs a little bit of hot water. The barbecue is perfectly in the middle so that there’s always a place to pass the food or stuff around, we placed a big garbage bag in that area so you can keep the area clean(there was everything you need to cut,cook, grill but of course we took our own just in case. There 2 canopies one in the corner with about 8 people to seat and one on the wall of the house, which had a fire pit and it had chairs too but of course we took beach chairs , like 7 of them and still plenty of space on the deck. 1 picnic table with Umbrella for up 8 people, great for games. 1 volleyball field which we use and loved it. The room had plenty of space we even placed an inflatable mattress so that all the kids can be together. Lastly the Master shower it has an amazing space to shower. Awesome Place!!!

This place is absolutely adorable! It had everything you would need! The jacuzzi tub was fantastic with the fire place to relax. I have stayed in a lot of rentals and this is definitely one of the best! We would've stayed longer if there was availability. Ironically, I booked a place in White Springs for a few days later and it, too, is Abby and Steve's. We are so looking forward to another great stay. Can't wait! Great hosts and a terrific place. Highly recommend this place!

I can't say enough good things about this place!!! The location was perfect for visiting all the springs and it was quiet and private. Saw dear and wild turkeys in the yard and neighborhood. The kitchen had many extras and the pool and downstairs kitchen were fantastic! Great memories were made! Thank you for sharing your space!

A beautiful house right on the river. Excellent accommodations with every detail thought of. Great communication with our host. We would definitely stay here again. The local dining is delicious. Perfect for our larger family of 10.

Tam’s cabin was a perfect size for my husband and I for a night. It was a short walk from the community pool and we had our own parking spot. The place was very well decorated and furniture was comfortable. This RV resort is not close to many restaurants, etc. but if you’re looking to just have a place to sleep and shower it’s got that with a full kitchen.

This is my second time staying with Niladri within the last year. It was as beautiful, clean, and comfortable as before. We last came in the fall previously and it was chilly, this time warmer and we had to utilize the AC units to sleep at night - kept us plenty cool and comfortable at nights We enjoyed cooking over the campfires, love the outdoor shower, and got to wear our pups out. We visited some new to us local springs and enjoy how close it is to access them but also enjoy the privacy of this place. We rented all three studio cabins for a birthday celebration and it was fun to have the whole area to ourselves this visit. She is a responsive, friendly and communicative host. We look forward to visiting again, thank you for another wonderful weekend!

Experience was perfect and exactly what my husband and I needed to get some R&R and peace away from the busy city. Lots of great fishin off the dock. Bluegill, gar, bowfin,catfish, and a wee baby alligator. Friendly people nearby and good food and live music at the restaurant across the street. We will definitely return.

Definitely a great location for enjoying the outdoors! Thanks again!!

We had a great time and the property was amazing with all of the horses.

Our family of 5 enjoyed Teddy’s place while visiting Silver Springs. The beds were super comfy, kitchen stocked and amenities perfect. We enjoyed the Sandhill Crane family that visited us each morning while having our coffee in the screened in porch. The view is lovely, canoes/kayaks/fire pit and dock an added treat. We’d definitely return.

A quiet place surrounded by nature, yet still close to Gainsville. Very peaceful and relaxing.

This is very cool, eclectic place. Has tons of personality. All the creature comforts you need when traveling were provided. Would definitely stay here again.

The cabin is super cozy, it has everything needed for a comfortable stay. the beds upstairs are super comfortable. the right amount of firmness. If I had to complain about anything, that would be the noise of the AC. But we those comfortable beds, it's impossible not to easily fall asleep. plenty of space to walk and really close to the WEC. it's a great place to disconnect and charge your energy. Kevin is a great host, respects your privacy but you know you can contact him at any time.

Loved our stay and hope to return soon. Great host! Private and roomy accommodations close to anything you need. Highly recommend!!!

We all enjoyed our stay at John's private retreat! A fully stocked spice cabinet great for cooking meals, spacious sleeping arrangements, and an all-around excellent homestead! We all enjoyed telling stories around the campfire, walking down to the river, and all the bits and bobs that John particularly placed throughout! Can't wait to see this beautiful location again sometime in the near future!

Jarred's home was exactly as pictured. The house is deceivingly spacious, with 3 bedrooms, each boasting large, comfortable beds. There is an obvious attention to detail around the "cabin in the mountains" decor, but with all the modern amenities you'd expect for comfort. The home was very clean, from kitchen to linens. The community is situated around a walkable circle. I say this because it was the perfect distance for my small dog to navigate. The host was always available and communicative. Would stay here again if in the area!!

This place is perfect to kick back and relax! The screened in patio made our stay- as our crew sat there for morning coffee and drinks at night. The cottage itself was very cozy and cute. Close to Monkey Bar/downtown making it a great location.

I am very happy I found this gem of a cabin. Barbara is a fantastic host who baked muffins for us upon check-in, which were absolutely delicious. The cabin is the perfect place for two, everything you may have forgotten at home is absolutely here. We genuinely enjoyed our visit and the time spent here, and would absolutely no hesitation rebook in a beat. Barbara was very good to us and we appreciate you!! You made my partner and I’s anniversary getaway something special. Thank you again 😊

The Sugar Shack was the perfect place to escape from our hectic south Florida lifestyle! It was remote but close to small towns and our beautiful Florida Springs. It was so peaceful to be in the woods and relax on the Suwannee River in the big chairs provided!! The big oak trees all around are magnificent and the cabin is cozy and dreamy and has everything we needed for cooking out on the grill and sipping our morning coffee by the lazy river!! Perfect!

The space was clean and very nice, the space was overall amazing. Everything is provided! James was responsive and made sure we were doing good and didn’t need anything! If I ever needed to go back I’d 100% stay here again!!!

My husband and I enjoyed nice and relaxing weekend. The quiet beautiful nature view was so relaxing and away from the sound of traffic and city life. Hearing nature wake up, while having a cup of coffee on the porch was amazing. The house was super clean!

Great stay! Very cute and quiet cottage!

Leslie was very responsive. The setting is private and the covered deck on rainy days wonderful to relax on. Leslie provided much appreciated extras like healthier cooking pans, sharp knives, a cutting board, and a medicine kit which are not usually provided in my years of experience. A word of caution apparently regarding airbnb policy. Check for potential price changes on your reservation Even IF you are subtracting something!!! Because I didn’t end up taking my dog with (deleting the pet fee), it changed my reservation and a $142.20 increase (county tax fee) was added! 😱
