Stay at This Quaint Airbnb While Exploring Florida’s Charming Small Town

As the Sunshine State grows, it can be hard to find a good old small town in Florida. It seems that you just have to settle for a busy city or the middle of nowhere with very little in between, but if you know where to look, there are hidden gems everywhere. High Springs is one of those treasures remaining to be found. A charming town that is surrounded by water sports and outdoor activities, High Springs has so much to offer that you might want to settle in and stay for a while. 

High Springs is known as the “Gateway to the Springs” because the land is abundant with crystal blue water and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. There are countless ways to enjoy these turquoise pools, and you will have many to choose from. Splash in the shimmering waters of Ginnie Springs, Poe Springs Park, or Blue Springs State Park. The jungle-like oasis encourages you to enjoy a myriad of watery activities or a hike by the glistening springs. 

Grab a kayak and take off down the Santa Fe River to see the springs located along the route. Find peaceful tranquility along the calm waters of the river as you pass by the hanging moss, crystal clear waters, and abundant wildlife.

Of course, with so many springs to visit and water activities to enjoy, you will want to settle in and stay for a little while. For that, I think there is no better spot than this Barndominium, only steps away from the Santa Fe River. The hosts are excellent and really have a grasp on the Floridian lifestyle. Meticulously preparing and planning for their guest's needs, they do an excellent job welcoming enthusiastic visitors.

This rental really embraces the glory of the outdoors with a large shaded back porch. Chances are you won’t want to spend much time inside when the backyard looks like this, plus there are plenty of lawn games to keep you and your family entertained between trips to the local parks or downtown. There is even a hammock so bring a book and swing the afternoon away. 

Eventually, you will have to pull yourself away from the beauty of the outdoors and retreat for the night. The cool space inside will give guests everything you could need for your stay so you can keep things simple and focus on what's really important on a trip: making memories as a family. Depending on the size of your family, you will have your pick of any of the three luxurious bedrooms for the night. Once you wake, you can dive right back into the fun and enjoy the delights of High Springs, FL.
