Nice family visit

My husband and I traveled from Virginia to Florida to visit our children who live and work in Mayo. This cabin was very welcoming and clean, and had plenty of indoor and outdoor space to allow for a wonderful family visit! We drove to Carabelle beach for the day, and just stayed home and enjoyed being in the cabin the rest of the weekend. We would definately like to stay here again!

Peaceful Retreat

We appreciated the grace and comfort of Redbird Cabin. This Suwannee River home is well equipped and appointed. We enjoyed the expansive grounds, front porch, and outdoor areas. We saw a lot of deer and other wildlife and took lovely drives in the countryside visiting various parks and local towns.

Best vacation ever!

Our stay at Red Bird Cabin exceeded expectations on every level. The house is beautiful, well appointed, and provides everything you need. The views from every window made it feel like you were outside. We slept soundly in the comfortable bed in the loft area and the streaming services on TV were more than enough. The Wi-Fi connection was excellent. The exterior and grounds are so lovely we didn't want to be inside. The peace and quiet was overwhelming in a good way. The loudest noise was the wind in the gorgeous oak trees. We spent much time walking around the property, on the country lane and down by the Suwanee. Just sitting on the porch admiring the shapes and shadows and being immersed in nature was a welcome respite from the hectic outside world. It was the old Florida that we miss from our youth. We walked to the river several times a day and saw deer every morning. The drives into Live Oak to shop were quick and pleasant and we were excited to find Mobley's butcher shop nearby to buy some great steaks. We were very impressed with our 1st VRBO experience. Robin is an excellent host and responded to our questions ASAP. This was our first vacation in 8 years and the memories will last a lifetime. We are already planning to return in the spring before our work season commences. Red Bird Cabin was the balm our tired minds and bodies needed. I wish I could give it more stars and highly recommend this property to anybody looking for a place to hide and rejuvenate.

Exactly what we needed!

This cabin is exactly how its described. Clean, tucked away, relaxing. The boat ramp is a short walk and was perfect for us. This cabin is also located very close to multiple springs in the area. There where deer in the morning and lightning bugs at night. Truely a great experience!

Summer Dream

Most vacation rentals feel transactional, like you probably get what you pay for and it’s better than a hotel. But some feel like the opportunity to share something very special, developed over time by people who fully love the space themselves. This cabin is the second type. This place is easy to experience as a home. We miss it since we’ve left!

Great place! Clean and peaceful

This cabin is very clean and beautifully decorated. We had a great time exploring the property and the nearby springs. The river is a short drive to the side of the property. We enjoyed the wildlife, fishing, and kayaking. Thank you for letting us stay! Owners or hosts very responsive and helpful. My teenager said is was nice, clean, and he really liked it. It was a perfect location to explore.

Paradise on the river

It was such a relaxing time staying at Red Bird. Saw deer the 1st morning and the morning we were leaving. The private boat launch was perfect for our boating adventures checking out some springs. My husband did state that this was one of your best and relaxing vacations the one downfall for us was not dropping the air past 72 lol we keep our house cold normally but the cabin did stay comfy.

Nature abounds!

Never wrote a review about a porch before, but we could have lived on this one! Every day we would sit on the porch morning or afternoon or evening, and just enjoy the beauty, the Birdsong, and the peace. Robin is a great host and responds immediately to any question or need. We definitely hope to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Robin Lynch

I grew up in Mayo and spent a lot of my childhood in and around this property. I have since moved away and have become a Professional Engineer and I am practicing in Atlanta, Georgia.

Why they chose this property

My grandfather built the cabin. It is very special to us! We wanted to keep life flowing through it, so we decided to transform it into a vacation rental property. The cabin is nestled in the middle of 16 private acres and surrounded by ancient live oak trees accented with Spanish moss. There are also orange, lemon and fig tress.
The Suwannee River is approximately 450 yds from the home. If you are looking for peace and quiet, visit our Redbird Cabin!
