River Park Inn

Over a century ago the River Park Inn was a cottage for the more retiring guests of the famous Clarendon Hotel who came to partake of the warm water mineral spring here. The vernacular structure was built by Dr. Joseph Applegate, a partner in the construction of the Clarendon who had rights to the warm water mineral spring. As he diversified his practice, the water was prescribed, bottled and dispensed to wealthy visitors, including presidents and heads of state. Over the years the cottage served as a private residence, boarding house and antique store. The spring still flows at about 3000 gallons per minute and feeds the community swimming pool which is chemical free. The pool spills over to a fresh water stream and empties into the majestic St. Johns River which flows by our riverfront park just across the street from the River Park Inn. The inn itself has been completelly restored and furnished with antiques from that bygone era. All rooms have wireless internet access, private baths, private phones, cable TV, irons/boards and hairdryers. A full hot delicious breakfast is served daily. Common areas include the parlor, dining room, courtyard with a Jacuzzi in the screened-in gazebo and main porch with rockers and swing. Maps for self guided walking tours of Historic Green Cove Springs are provided. Really unwind, kick back and enjoy the peaceful, slow pace of historic small town America.
