About Suwannee Gables
Motel & Marina
There’s something timeless in the slow bend of the Suwannee River — the way sunlight glitters on the water in the early morning, the gentle call of kingfishers, the hush of palm fronds in the wind. That’s what you’ll find at Suwannee Gables Motel & Marina — not just a place to stay, but a riverfront destination that restores something real within you.
Our family legacy,
rooted in history
For more than thirty years, our family has poured heart and soul into this riverfront motel in Old Town, Florida. We come from humble beginnings, with nothing but a dream: to build something that matters — clean, renovated rooms with character, genuine service, and a connection to the land and river that gives everything life here.
We believe that being family-owned isn’t just a label. Here, it’s about knowing your name, watching the stars fade in at night, and making sure every guest leaves feeling like they belong.Use a flattering photo, then describe away!
Why This
Place Matters
You’re not coming here for generic hotel rooms or fluorescent lights. You’re coming here because:
You want a boutique motel on the Suwannee River, where your mornings begin with mist over water and your evenings end by the fire pit under stars.
You’ve grown weary of poorly maintained lodging that says it offers charm but delivers little. At Suwannee Gables, we’ve renovated carefully — respecting old-Florida charm while giving you modern comfort.
You want space to breathe and place to enjoy. You’re planning something special, a wedding, a reunion, a retreat and you want a riverfront wedding venue that feels unforgettable, not generic.
When you stay with Suwanne Gables,
we promise to give you...
Riverfront lodging that feels authentic — not pretending, not flashy, but built with care.
Easy communication, simple booking, a welcome that feels personal.
A place to disconnect to reconnect — to swap deadlines for sunsets, email chains for canoe paddles, and routines for something that slows you down in the right way.
We can’t wait to share the Suwannee with you — the stories, the river, the quiet moments you didn’t even know you were missing.
