About this property

River Run Retreat | Weeki Wachee River Cabin

  • Escape to River Run Retreat, a charming waterfront cabin nestled along one of the most beautiful stretches of the crystal-clear Weeki Wachee River. Conveniently located approximately halfway between Weeki Wachee Springs State Park and Rogers Park, this peaceful retreat offers the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty.

    Whether you`re looking to swim in refreshing 72-degree spring water, kayak alongside manatees, fish, snorkel, or simply relax on the deck overlooking the river, River Run Retreat provides an unforgettable Florida getaway.

    Our cozy cabin comfortably accommodates up to six guests and features one private bedroom with a king bed, a loft sleeping area with two sets of bunk beds, two full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, cable TV, a spacious balcony, a waterfront deck, and a private dock with direct access to the river.

    The kitchen includes everything you need to prepare meals during your stay, including a Vitamix blender, espresso machine, waffle maker, crockpot, flat-top griddle, coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, cookware, and dining essentials.

    Large windows throughout the home provide beautiful river views and fill the cabin with natural light.

    Kayaks, life jackets, and snorkel gear are provided so you can fully enjoy everything the Weeki Wachee River has to offer. Spend your days watching manatees, fish, turtles, birds, and kayakers drift past while relaxing on the deck or exploring the river from your private dock.

    The Weeki Wachee River remains approximately 72 degrees year-round, making it perfect for swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling in every season.

    We fell in love with this incredible stretch of river the first time we visited and created River Run Retreat so others could experience its beauty with family and friends. While we provide modern conveniences like Wi-Fi and cable TV, we encourage our guests to unplug, reconnect, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

    We are continually making upgrades and improvements to provide every guest with a comfortable, relaxing, and memorable five-star experience. We look forward to welcoming you to River Run Retreat.

Best getaway in a long time

We pulled up to a beautiful yard and house. The house has a warm inviting feel of a well decorated cabin. The spacious deck and patio overlook the crystal clear water of the weeki wachee river. The dock has easy access in and out of the river. They had a nice selection of kayaks and paddleboards. I will be staying here again and again. This was an awesome experience.

Return to River Run Retreat - a Treat!

We have stayed at RRR in the past under previous owner. We love the improvements made since our last stay: easier access to kayaks and walkway from driveway, grill location and cover, reclining couch, washer and dryer, and deck chairs. We will definitely be back!

Another wonderful stay!!

This was our second stay at River Run Retreat and we will definitely be back!! The house is very clean and check in was a breeze. We saw so much wildlife this time around! Over 20 manatees (although some were likely repeat visitors), river otters, turtles, a variety of birds, and caught a few fish! We can’t wait for our next visit!

Amazing home! Perfect location on crystal blue water. Loved the walks up the river, then float down. Sleeping arrangements were close quarters - so make sure you’re all very comfortable together, a group of family or close friends is perfect!

Fun River Cabin

We had a wonderful time at River Run using the Kayaks and Paddle Board and jumping in the springs. We were traveling with family and children (4yrs and 18 months old), the bunk beds and big kitchen were perfect for our group. I recommend bringing a baby gate for their stairs if you have little ones. The beds were comfy and water pressure was great. It was easy to find and had ample parking.
