Summary: We have stayed at this ranch three times now and each time is just as fun. Kids range in ages from 7 through 17 and they all have the best time, asking to go back again as soon as we leave. We recommend renting golf carts so you can fully explore all the trails throughout the property. It's definitely an "Old Florida" experience off the beaten path, but with all the luxuries you need while here. We will definitely be back again!

Summary: We have stayed here many times over the years and it’s our favorite getaway!

Summary: We spent a long weekend for my wifes Birthday. Friends and family all enjoyed the time here.

Summary: After taking a year off for the post-hurricane renovations, the property is back and better than ever. Still the same structures, just elevated and with nice updates inside. Perfect place to keep to yourself, or enjoy with family and friends with everyone in their own spaces.

Summary: I’m not sure we can give a review that really does this place and the owners justice. We had this trip on the books for a couple of years and even when it was flooded and the owner had to rehab everything- he kept us on the books and stayed in communication as the the readiness of the property. We had stayed at this property many times before but it’s been redone a few times and it keeps getting better and better. The owner has thought through all the details to make the property perfect for getting away/adventure. Four wheeling trails, firing range, kayaking and basically any outdoor adventure you want is what this place provides. The inside of the Riverhouse, Cabin and Lodge are very comfortably furnished and have all the accessories that a group needs. If this was my property, I’d probably keep it all to myself. We feel lucky that the owners make it available for rent. With all the available beds on the property, you’re getting the equivalent of holiday inn pricing per person and a Four Seasons value of experiences. I don’t like leaving reviews but this place deserves the time to write one. As reference for groups thinking of booking— Our group had 13 adults and 2 small kids staying on the property and another 2 families with kids visit during the day a couple of times. Plenty of room.

Summary: Owner was very accommodating.
Yolanda H. Aug 26, 2022 09:31:52 AM
Summary: This property is beautiful. The River House's view was beautiful. Stars in the sky were a massive plus, with little light pollution, in the open area by the River House. I think the only disappointing part of this property was that my family and I intended to use the picnic tables area at the event location, and it had an outhouse-style bathroom, which ideally is good compared to the woods. However, it appeared to have not been cleaned for an unknown time. It was filled with dirt and spiders. All in all the place was great! I am a local to the area and even I loved this place. My out-of-state family continue to talk about how beautiful it was there.

Summary: We loved this property. Can’t wait to come back.
Carlos C. Jun 4, 2022 09:32:33 PM
Summary: We are repeats, and every time we go it’s just as enjoyable as the first “wow”. There’s so much to do, or nothing to do making it a true vacation! It is quickly becoming an annual tradition for us. Beautiful property. Always great communication from the owner. Thanks again!
Christopher C. Apr 21, 2022 07:34:27 PM
Summary: It far exceeded our expectations. Our family had plenty to and we were all able eat the same table and sit around the same fire. We had everything we needed.
