About this cabin rental

Welcome to the Cedar Hill Depot house where character and comfort meet.

Built in the early 1950's it has endless charm, and with the recent renovations you also get all the comforts of today. At 650 sq ft the studio style cabin offers a spacious feel. The unique and fun train theme gives a special touch of history from the area. The train that linked East and West Florida from 1861 until 1932 was brought all the way to Cedar Key and played a big part in making this bustling little community.
**We ask that all guests be over the age of 18.

At just 3 easy walking blocks from the water and 2 block from the delicious dining options of 2nd St, you won't need to drive unless you really want to. The famous Cedar Key Fishing Pier is less than a half mile and while you're out there check out the shops and restaurants on the water, the views at sunset can't be beat!

The bedroom is separated from the main living area but does not have a door. There is a comfortable Queen sized bed there and a cozy feel.

The main living area has a Queen sized sofa bed along with additional seating to comfortably have 4 people gathering together.

The kitchen is small with basic amenities. There is a sink, small refrigerator, cups, coffee and coffee maker and some disposable utensils and plates. You will want to plan on eating out or bringing food back for your meals as this kitchen isn't really made for cooking.

There is 1 full bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. You'll also find shampoo, conditioner, soap and plush towels.

Outside there is a covered front porch with seating so you can enjoy the fresh air and watch the fountain in the yard.

Getting to Cedar Key usually takes a car but with this fabulous central location you might not need it once you get here. To get into the home itself you'll climb a few stairs but once inside it's a single level.

Parking for 1 car in the white gravel area in front of the cabin where it says train parking, park to the far left next to the fence. See map in the photos for location.

This home is equipped with our smart lock system, you'll get your access code to sent you via email and online message the day before your arrival. You can check in anytime after 4 pm on your reservation day. We are always around to answer questions or help out but if you'd like some space and serenity you'll have it!

First off, I would like to say this property was absolutely stunning. We’re not the “big home” type when we travel — we enjoy places that are simple, rustic, country and personal — and this stay was more than we ever imagined.The 2.5-hour drive from Kissimmee was peaceful, filled with tree-lined roads and quiet stretches. Upon arrival to Cedar Key, we found a small town that feels larger than life. The peace, the scenery, and the serenity were more than we could have hoped for.From the outside, the home looked like a cozy getaway surrounded by plants, mini gardens, and a charming tea area with a small fountain. At the top of the stairs were two wooden rocking chairs, perfect for morning coffee. Once you open the door, you’re welcomed into a beautiful wooden cabin — warm, personal, and incredibly comfortable. The bed was heavenly, and the sofa and pull-out bed were just as inviting. The train-themed décor, complete with lantern-style lighting, added so much charm. There was even a personal table for two.The walk from the cabin to the beaches was under two minutes. We explored the entire town in less than an hour, stopping for coffee, seafood, and even visiting the local library and museum. You truly don’t need a car unless you plan to leave the island.The hosts were caring, responsive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. This was a weekend getaway we will never forget. We are certain we’ll be back in the future and will gladly recommend this property

Hidden gem just 2 blocks from downtown and gorgeous sunsets on the water. Property is everything it states and more! Loved rockers on porch overlooking serene gardens with fountains. Cabin is spacious, super clean and provided everything we needed for our perfect weekend stay. Easy walk to all restaurants and shops. Resident chickens in their palm tree coop were an unexpected bonus and fun to watch. No, they did not make noise in case you are wondering! McCormick Management was a dream to work with. We were lucky to meet our hosts who were very sweet and accommodating. We love Cedar Key and will be back to The Depot for sure!

Great accommodations for a couples weekend away. Perfect location, walking distance to everything
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2025
The cabin's enterior was cute, but the surrounding area was cluttered and featured chickens in the yard, which was not mentioned in the description. The advertised description of the area was inaccurate, as it is a run-down town with brown, murky and stinky water I would not even allow my dogs to play in if they had been with me. Despite claims of available activities, the state park and other attractions listed were either boarded up or closed. If you want to just hang out in a cabin all day then this is right up your alley. But not for someone lookingto get out and enjoy new things to do and see.
