This is our third time staying at the Lake Dorr cabin and I cry every time we leave. It is magical, beautiful, peaceful, and full of love. Bring your family. You will not regret staying there. I'm about to reserve again.

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.

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.
