Tranquil outdoor paradise in the Ocala National Forest | House in Fort McCoy
2 Bedroom House in Edgar, Fort McCoy
The Cabin at Cedar Landing is your base for exploring the hiking, fishing, paddling (canoe & kayak), birding, and hunting opportunities in the Ocala National Forest. A 1,500sf, 2 BR/2 BA log cabin that comfortably sleeps six (living room couch folds out) is perched on a clearing above +6 acres of forest sloping down to the Rodman Reservoir & Oklawaha River. The feeling is tranquil and rustic, but with modern amenities such as WiFi and central air conditioning / heat.
Stroll down a short wooded path to fish at the dock with views of the Cross Florida Greenway, or trailer your canoes & kayaks to the same spot or any number of nearby paddling trails. The river is packed with bass, pike, catfish, perch, alligator gar, mudfish, and the occasional gator. Paddling trails are shaded by canopies of forest, and transport you to the heart of the natural world. Boat launches for larger craft are located in Hog Valley (5 minutes drive on paved roads) and Rodman Reservoir (15 minutes drive over dirt roads); access to the St. John's River is available both at Rodman Reservoir and Salt Springs (25 minutes away, paved roads).
The Florida National Scenic Hiking Trail is 3.5 miles east, over a dirt road that can be hiked or driven. Over 60 miles of the trail roll through the Ocala National Forest. The Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail is near by, and fauna viewed on/near the property include: wild turkeys, bald eagles, various types of deer, cardinals, sandhill cranes, scrub jays, black bears, and more. Take a break from outdoor adventures to enjoy peace & quiet on cabin's 65 foot long screened porch graced with ceiling fans and views of the forest.
Salt Springs, with several restaurants, stores, swimming, and boat launch to the St. John's River is a 25 minute drive away. Hog Valley, with a saloon and convenience store, is a 5-10 minute drive. Note that the nearest grocery stores and gas stations are in Palatka (40-minute drive, partially over dirt road) and Salt Springs (25 minutes, paved roads).
We must disclose that while cozy, this cabin Is not a luxury accommodation. The upholstery on the top right cushion of the couch needs to be reinforced, and the light fixture over the kitchen island has to be replaced. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Our plan is to repair/replace both in the first quarter of 2022. Thank you for you understanding!
