DISTINCTIVE FEATURES
Indulge yourself in the solitude afforded by only six rooms
nestled among seven acres in a ranch style setting. Enjoy a stroll
around the property, take a dip in the pool, play cards, games, or just
curl up and read a book. Whatever you do, you
won't want to miss the magnificent sunsets you can enjoy from the comfort
of a rocking chair on the front porch, or listen to the rain falling on
the tin roof. To top it all off, settle in for the night in the
comfort of a king or queen size bed and sleep to your hearts
content. Our motto is "it's time to relax".
The Rustic Inn combines staying at
a traditional bed and breakfast, staying in an exceptional hotel, and
being close to nature. Each of the uniquely appointed
400 square foot rooms based on nature themes, is a mini-getaway in
itself. For example, the Zebra room offers a vanity and bathroom
elevated two steps above the black and white carpeted living and sleeping
area with a twelve foot ceiling and paddle fan. The walls are
gracefully appointed with paintings and decorations that compliment the
room's theme. A large white pedestal sink with black faucet sits
beneath the hexagonal window ten feet up the East wall gently capturing
the
morning
light. A bank of windows overlooks a private deck and the North
pasture. The bed frame and massive headboard are handmade from
Western Red Cedar timbers by a High Springs artisan and pillows are abundant.
All rooms have a coffee
maker, microwave and refrigerator. Your comfort is controlled by your own
thermostat and each room has a private complete bath with tub and shower;
and private entrance. Other rooms include Cat, Panda, Sea Mammal,
Tropical and Everglades. Enjoy a different room on each of your
visits.
XXA continental breakfast
basket filled with cereal, oatmeal, muffins, and fresh fruit is prepared and brought to your room each
evening of your stay, providing the option of rising early to enjoy your
days activities or sleeping in. When you're ready to explore the
great outdoors, you can immerse yourself in one of the many crystal clear
springs or float the protected four mile stretch of spring water at
Ichetucknee State Park. Hike the maze of bridges and trails where
the Santa Fe River goes underground at O'Leno State Park, or climb your
way down hundreds of stairs into one of Florida's deepest sinkholes at The
Devil's Millhopper or lazily wander your way back a century in time,
exploring the numerous antique malls, shops, galleries and railroad museum
housed in the historical buildings in downtown High Springs.
Area recreational opportunities include: Canoeing and kayaking the Santa Fe, Ichetucknee and Suwannee Rivers, snorkeling or scuba diving and cave diving the many springs (instructions available), tubing the Ichetucknee, hiking, horseback riding, bird watching and cycling the uncongested country roads. In addition, the University of Florida campus which offers a variety of athletic, cultural and historic events is only 20 minutes from the Inn.
We extend to you a warm
hand of friendship and invite you to come and experience the
gentle ambiance which makes the Rustic Inn a place for dreams, private
moments and quiet times. This is where you want to be if you want to
turn off the rest of the world. We know you will enjoy a uniquely
different Bed and Breakfast experience here at the Rustic Inn.
