Peace and Quiet down a Bumpy road

Went here to celebrate our son's 13th birthday. He LOVED having the loft all to himself. Plus that TV's are in every room including the loft. The house was well kept and well stocked. It is remote, though there are neighbors, and we were able to easily get groceries delivered. We saw bunnies and armadillos which was cool. We weren't able to use the canoes, I think the water was a bit too low, but seemed like it would be fun. Our dog loved the big yard to run in. Had a great time spring hopping on our trip. Rainbow Springs is nearby and gorgeous. The only con is the looooonnngg drive down multiple dirt roads to reach the property. If you have anyone in your party that is sensitive to car sickness or pain aggravated by movement, this should be considered as the trip is bumpy. That said, it is totally worth it!

Incredible cabin

Nature House is an incredibly relaxing, beautiful getaway, and the online photos don’t do it justice. The owner thought of absolutely everything and was easy to contact. We went horseback riding, canoeing, & hiking during our stay…all within 20-30 minutes away. It’s the perfect place to unwind.

Nice house but not what we were looking for

The house certainly has a wow factor with those windows! Good furnishings and fun decor. While it's a quality house, it wasn't sparkling clean. The loft was dusty and the dishes in the cupboard were poorly cleaned. We had looked forward to using the grill, but turns out it is located in the separated screened in structure that. The structure is not well protected from the elements and it shows it. We decided not to use the grill. Additionally, the kitchen lacked some of the basics like salt and pepper. The name Nature House gives the impression that you're in the middle of nature to be enjoyed. You ARE 2.4 miles from the paved road, but at the same time there are neighbors immediately on both sides. Going for a walk entails walking on a 1 lane dirt road that gets quite muddy with the regular rain in Florida, with lots of blind turns. House after house had no trespassing signs...nothing wrong with that but at the same time it did not feel like a friendly inviting neighborhood. Also, we did send an email to the management but it turns out the booklet in the house had the wrong email address. They did respond promptly when I looked up the contact address online, but did not offer to have someone clean up the place.

My family had a wonderful time. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

We had 9 Adults stay at the Nature House and it was an absolute blast! The trees were amazing. Take hammocks! The house was clean and well stocked. We made breakfast, lunch and dinner most days. Went to the cool nearby towns and of course went to the most beautiful springs we have ever seen often. If we are ever in the area again we will 100% stay at the Nature House!
