Incredibly clear springs are everywhere and Manatee Hideaway is in the center of them all.

 You are on a 3000 acre Three Rivers Estate with an exclusive, private key for access to nearby Ichetucknee Springs.  Incredibly clear springs are everywhere and Manatee Hideaway is in the center of them all.  Kayaking over miles long, crystal clear spring runs or tube drifting through beautiful primeval cypress forests is a favorite of our guests.  Our 5-Star host will arrange those memories for you.  Or you may want to see abundant wildlife along the Santa Fe from our own, host captained, pontoon boat.  While cruising along the Santa Fe, ask our host about the Native American history in the area.  Moonlight & Sunset cruises are a favorite of his and will be yours as well.  For the adventurous, this area is world famous for cave diving in the cavernous maze of crystal clear spring water. In the cabin there is plenty of storage space for all the diver’s gear. At the end of the day, relax on our bench swing along the river or kick back on our spacious deck overlooking  the meandering Santa Fe river while enjoying cooking over gas or charcoal grills.  For the sports minded, Gator football and basketball is only 45 minutes away at the University of Florida for those sporting weekends or other activities.
