Photo Album

The river at dawn is a sight to behold.Step through the French doors onto the gracious porch overlooking an expanse of tree shaded lawn. Play some croquet or walk to the dock to gaze at the sweeping St. Johns River.
Enjoy your morning tea or coffee on the  porch.  Watch the sailboats ply the St. Johns on their way to the Atlantic Ocean.Walk the labyrinth for relaxation.
Grace and charm are the Cherry St. hallmarks. Several of the rooms have river views and four poster beds. All of them have private baths, fresh flowers, and art work by noted Florida artists. Room with a river view. What could be better?
See the city from the river yard. Walk to museums, antique shops, architectural delights, and gourmet restaurants. Breakfast on the river porch. Pick organic herbs for a cup of tea.
Ospreys, owls, red tail hawks, even a swan. Who knows what you will see on the river lawn?
