Experience the real Florida! Follow the whitefenced lane to the charming Blue Heron Cottage 
Guesthouse of the Blue Heron Breezes Home situated on the hill overlooking the 88 acre Citizens Park 
bordering the scenic Chipola River, just outside the city limits of historic Marianna, Florida. Sit 
under the huge liveoak trees and enjoy the breezes that come up from the river valley all year long, 
or explore the numerous jogging, hiking and fitness trails that extend all the way to the pristine 
river’s edge. Walk early in the morning to see blue herons, white grand egrets and other varieties 
of birds to numerous to mention, as well as turtles, deer, fox, and other wildlife.

If you love caving, canoeing, swimming, hiking, bike riding, horseback riding, fishing or birding, 
the fabulous 1300 acre Florida Caverns State Park is one half mile down the road. The Florida State 
Caverns are the only tour caves in Florida and feature fabulous stalactites, stalagmites and 
flowstone formations and host thousands of people each year. Native Americans once lived in the 
caves and used them for gathering clay, temporary shelters and burials. Spanish explorers wrote 
about the caves, while Civil War refugees hid in the dark crevices to avoid Union soldiers.

Discover the many attractions of historic Marianna where the Civil War Battle of Marianna was fought 
on Main Street, tour the beautiful Russ House, and enjoy various fine restaurants and seasonal 
cultural events. The world-renowned Blue Springs and Merritt’s Millpond are just outside the city 
limits to the east. The Blue Springs produce more than 64.6 million gallons of water each day and 
the mill pond is honeycombed with underwater limestone caves which attract scuba cave divers from 
around the globe. Families love boating, swimming and picnicking at the park as well. 

Located just one hour south of Marianna is historic Panama City and Panama City Beach with its white 
sand beaches on the clear, warm green waters of the Gulf–rightly called “the Emerald Coast.” 

Head east from Marianna and within 30 minutes is the 37,000 acre Lake Seminole, world known for its 
bass fishing tournaments. Another 30 minutes and you are in historic Tallahassee with its many 
cultural and sporting attractions.

Alabama or Bainbridge, Georgia, with their rich history and beautiful old homes.
