Nestled on the banks of the St. John’s River, Stegbone's is filled with an incredibly tranquil beauty. It is an old-time place first established around 1875 as Seminole Groves growing citrus and began as a fish camp in 1946. It just doesn't have the distractions of normal daily lives. Instead, you experience starry nights, campfires, sunsets and easy conversations with old and new friends...not to mention some of the best fishing around.
Forty miles of the Ocala National Forest and other undevelopable land lie to the west across the river. Expect to see all sorts of wildlife: eagle, manatee, alligator, turtle, red fox, wild turkey, great blue heron, pelican, egret, owl, osprey...they all look in periodically. We are in the backyard of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail and the Bartram Trail.
The St. John's River provides excellent fishing. Nicknamed 'The Bass Capital of the World', there are many tournaments in the spring & fall. Favored fish besides bass include many of the bream family, copperhead, shell cracker, red bellies, crappy and bluegill.
With two bedrooms, this is one of our most popular cabins. Located right on the river, sleeping areas include 5 twin and 1 double bed and ceiling fans.
Great for up to 6 guys ! The large, fully equipped, eat-in kitchen has a microwave oven and comfortable dining table.
The living room provides lots of seating and cable TV. A screened porch off the kitchen provides even more space to this cabin and allows a great seating area with a wonderful view of the river!
Pine paneling, mounted buck and bass on the living room wall, large capacity window air conditioning and additional one in the kitchen, and gas heat provide all-around comfort. A picnic table right outside allows a great spot for cook-outs. Pets friendly. See website for policy.
