Branford House | The Confluence Cabin: Free tubing, paddle boarding + kayaking on the Ichetucknee

3 Bedroom House in Branford

CONFLUENCE: /kŏn′floo͞-əns/ noun
1. The place where two rivers, streams, or other continuously flowing bodies of water meet and become one.
The Confluence Cabin is a beautiful cedar home nestled where the Ichetucknee River pours into the Santa Fe. The sprawling 2 acre property has more than a full acre fenced in, making it the perfect spot for children to play on the tree swing and for dogs to run off leash. Grill out and eat every meal under the canopy of oak trees on our 400 sq ft deck. Rinse off in the outdoor shower. Bringing your personal boat or jet skis? The boat ramp is right down the street. There are also pontoon boat and jetski rentals nearby. The neighborhood is golf cart and side by side friendly, no 4 wheelers please.
At the cabin, you will enjoy the views from our resort style boardwalk, multiple docks and covered pavilion, which features a twin size bed swing overlooking the river. The year-round 73 degree pure spring water bubbling from the ground attracts friendly manatees and otters, along with hundreds of species of fish and birds. Cool off in the river with a swim (bring a snorkel) or fish until your bait or daylight runs out. The State Park across the highway offers float and kayak trips, swimming holes and even scuba diving in caves. Star gazing is absolutely breathtaking from the cabin. You can see all of the constellations.
HOST PRO TIP: Tube the Ichetucknee River over and over for free when you stay with us! Our cabin guests get free access to our community dock on the Ichetucknee where you can launch from, float 45 minutes and end right at our cabin dock. Your stay includes access to tubes (2 singles, 1 double, 1 cooler and electric pump), stand up pontoon paddle boards (2), regular kayaks (7), canoe (1), and the crystal clear glass bottom "manatee viewer" kayak (1).
The cabin itself is cozy and you will feel right at home. The upstairs has two bedrooms, one King and one Queen, as well as two bathrooms. The kitchen has all the essentials and the nearest grocery store is within 2 miles. NOTE FOR PARENTS: The downstairs bedroom is accessed from the EXTERIOR ONLY. It features one large room with four beds, a full bathroom, and large screened area (340 sq ft), as well as laundry room. The upstairs and downstairs can communicate via Alexa devices if desired. We have free WI-FI and all TVs are SmartTV/Firestick enabled for your streaming services. The house has loads of games inside and outside including a tree swing, floating river mat, Foosball, Nintendo 64, Cornhole, Croquet, a Bingo Wheel, Playing Cards, Zim Zam, Cribbage, Sand Toys, Board Games, as well as Books and Toys for younger kids.
Our area is a part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. Bird enthusiasts should expect to see a variety of water birds, American kestrel, northern bobwhite, eastern wild turkey, barred owl, red-headed woodpecker, Bachman’s sparrow and many more. Bring your binoculars and checklist when you visit!
*Please note that the river can rise. At times the water will be high enough to cover the dock and come into the yard. It's beautiful to see because the water is crystal clear. During a river rise boats and kayaks can be launched from the yard. You can check the river level at 3 Rivers by searching the internet for water dot weather dot gov.

Summary: We had a really great family vacation at Right on the River as well as visiting with old friends downriver. The house was perfect for our family and the waterfront area, dock, rope swing and swim pad kept the kids busy for hours. We would definitely stay again.

Summary: My husband and I wanted to get away from work and traffic and reconnect with nature. This cabin was perfect! While there was plenty of space to bring more family with us it was also just perfect for us and our sweet dog. We felt right at home! The location is perfect… centrally located to so many beautiful springs. The swing on the deck was perfect for evening wind downs and morning coffee. The chimes in the tree made a beautiful song with every breeze. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to navigate. The farm stand nearby became our favorite eatery and we had too many milkshakes. The host was attentive and made access very easy with no worries of holding onto keys. The cabin was stocked with anything we could have possibly forgotten and having access to so many river toys was great. We even saw manatees off the deck! I highly recommend this home for someone who wants to disconnect while still having the comforts of home. Our dog even settled right in. We will be back!

Summary: We had family ages 5 to 75 on this trip and we all had equal time fun and relaxation. Bird watching, fishing, swimming, and tubing… we did it all. Location is remote and quiet- exactly what we needed. It was also amazing to bring our dogs and see them having fun on vacation too. Some minor issues occurred while there, and the owners responded very quickly with care and action. Would recommend and return.

Summary: Everything was just as advertised. Property was located right on the Sante Fe River a very, very short canoe paddle to the Ichetucknee River.If you haven't been the the Ichetucknee River is a must. There was plenty of room for sleeping and the kitchen was well equipped. The backyard was large and fenced for our doodle. It was very easy to find even arriving after dark. We brought our boat but the home is well equipped with kayaks, canoes, paddles etc. Melissa was very responsive and a great host. We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to return.
