Florida is known for its beaches, but there is a lot more to the Sunshine State than its coastline. There are also a ton of state parks and wildlife sanctuaries to visit, perfect for relaxing, recharging, and getting a little peace and quiet away from the pressures of normal life.

Log cabin rentals in Florida have become increasingly popular. So if a rustic vacation tucked away in a secluded spot is more suited to you than the typical Florida vacation, keep reading – we’ve put together a list of the best log cabin vacation rentals in Florida.

Staying In A Cabin

Cozy cabins in Florida are ideal vacation spots if you love Florida State Parks and want a different experience from staying at a hotel. While this can be a relaxing getaway, it also poses its own challenges.

Be sure to check the amenities and reviews of anywhere you stay to make sure there is air conditioning, screened-in porches, or any other features that are important to you. Take note that while there might be a dining table and a fully equipped kitchen, you may have to bring your own silverware and items like garbage bags and paper towels.
