Hotels near Fanning Springs, FL

“We heard about this hotel on TV’s Motel Rescue and had to take a tour. It’s on a beautiful piece of property with almost an 100’ view overlooking the Suwannee River. The sunsets are incredible. They’re still in the midst of their renovations but we loved what we saw. The lobby blends comfortable chic with retro decor details… it’s so welcoming. The rooms are somewhat spacious being beautifully decorated with natural woods, soft blues and earth tones and white accents. The rear of the property overlooks the river and has open and covered seating areas for two or larger groups to enjoy the sunset or just relax and be social. The owners have a garden on the property of uncommon varieties of vegetables and herbs. Additionally, they have a row of cabins - some with a large private patio and each with vaulted ceilings, ample space and beautiful decor. Out front they created small seating areas for each cabin creating additional space to enjoy views of the property and river. The owners and management have that small town friendly warmth that add to the comfort and welcoming feel of this motel.

I loved this renovation and look forward to seeing the next phases of this motel. If you appreciate small locally business, original Florida comfortable casual, and modernized retro style I highly recommend you consider this motel.”

“Suwannee Gables is the perfect destination if you’re looking for that hard to find blend of Old Florida feel with modern amenities.

The rooms are super clean and recently renovated. There are multiple fire pits and lounging areas all overlooking the river. Speaking of the river, it’s absolutely beautiful and the motel property has its own boat launch and river access! The staff are super friendly and helpful and don’t forget to ask them about making s’mores!

We had a very pleasurable stay and would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a relaxing retreat on the river.”
