I love Lake Dorr cabin! This was our 4th time staying at this little piece of paradise. Everything was wonderful. The pictures show a bathmat. There is no bathmat, so bring your own. I would also bring a front door rug, because it gets very sandy inside without something to wipe your feet on. Also the last two times we were there the light beside the main bed light bulb was dead, unplugged, and this time the light shade fell off as I was trying to turn the switch. I couldn't figured out how to get it back into the brackets. I didn't think much of it since I never sleep in the bedroom anyway.
Please don't think I'm complaining. It's just little things that would make the stay a little better. Thank you again for a great stay.

Cabin was clean and well maintained. Ample space around cabin for activities including a couple of trees to string a hammock. Access to two canoes and the gear to use them.

I will definitely be coming back to this location. For people who work remotely and travel, I got decent cell coverage (with AT&T). The cabin was beautiful and remote. I would recommend a truck, SUV or something with 4 wheel drive for the road into the cabin.
There are not a lot of amenities nearby, so bring in food, soap, dish towels, bath towels, linens. I wish there were ice cube trays.
It would be helpful if the light switches were labelled. The cabin got an amazing cross breeze if the windows are opened.
We enjoyed excursions to Alexander Springs, Hopkins Prairie, Juniper and Silver Springs during our stay.
