Guests booking the entire property have private access to both the main house and the separate studio, including all bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens/living areas, and porches associated with each unit. You’ll also have full use of the shared backyard, laundry area, propane grill, driveway parking, and RV hookups.

Since you are booking the entire property, the main house and studio are reserved exclusively for your group during your stay. The backyard is designed as a shared outdoor space between the two units, but with the entire property booked, it will be available exclusively to your group.

A car is recommended for getting around Satsuma and exploring the surrounding area. The neighborhood is spread out, and many of the area's fishing spots, parks, marinas, restaurants, and outdoor attractions are easiest to reach by car.

Georgia Boys Fish Camp is just across Butler Drive, while Dunns Creek State Park, Palatka, Crescent Lake, and other nearby attractions are a short drive away. The area is primarily car-dependent, so guests should plan to drive to most activities and services.
