Cedar Key Scrub Reserve Located on the mainland, next to the Waccasassa preserve, this is a landscape dominated by pine flatwoods, sand pine scrub, and the omnipresent scrub jay. The 4,000 acres has salt marsh at its margin. Because it is a state reserve, and not a preserve, hunting is permitted from September through December. Now, in its restored state among the ancient live oaks, the home is operated as a distinctive bed and breakfast inn by Lois Benninghoff and Bob Davenport. Verandas overlook the gulf, and the rooms are furnished with comfortable beds, lace curtains and ceiling fans.
All rooms provide access to porches, and have private baths.
A homemade breakfast is served with gourmet coffee and teas, and the hosts offer tea and baked goods each afternoon. Bicycles are available for guest use. You won't find a telephone or television in this getaway from the urban hustle and bustle. The park has a private fishing pier, full hookups, and a beach. Reservations are suggested during the winter season.
