Rasayana Cove is a 25-acre eco-retreat located in the heartland of west central Florida. An hour's drive east of Sarasota surrounded by vast tracts of orange groves and ranch land, Rasayana Cove has been operating as a small retreat center since 1995. The long eastern boundary borders Horse Creek, a major tributary of the Peace River. The property features two spring-fed ponds - one small and the other large. The cabins are accessible by well constructed shell-topped roads with good drainage and a variety of nature pathways. A natural ecosystem remains undisturbed in the middle of the property - a Florida bay head of native flora and wildlife. While most of the state is crowded and overdeveloped, this eco-retreat offers a haven of peace in the pristine nature of Florida

I had an amazing time as always! Dennis was great and brought fresh firewood on my first night and made sure to explain how to use the camp stove and make sure everything was okay. Super peaceful property with tons of vibrant wildlife, beautiful landscapes, and if you happen to be there during a storm, a lovely tin roof to top it all off.

It was very clean and comfortable. Jamie and Bolton are excellent hosts. We had a cookout on Saturday. Every night Jamie made a campfire.
Everyone there was very friendly.
We also enjoyed exploring Sebring. Downtown Sebring has restaurants, coffee shops etc.
We also went to a flea market and a farmer’s market on Saturday.
If you like hiking there’s Highlands Hammock State Park. There’s also a great CCC museum at the State Park.

We love this place, small and intimate. Grounds and are meticulously kept by one of the owners James. Your friendly and well behaved dogs are allowed to be off leash and play with others within the entire fenced grounds. The pool and hot tub are always great! Just a note about the sites, if you are 30amp you will need a 50 to 30 amp adapter which every travler should have anyway. Sites are very nice, level and spacious. We highly recommend. Have been there 4 times and 2 more visits already scheduled before the end of the year.

This was a great camping experience right off the bat!! We were lucky enough to have the place practically to ourselves, it was very quiet, so serene and peaceful. It was the reset we needed, we just wished we had more time to enjoy this campground. Before we had even left we were already planning a return trip with friends! Everything you need is on this campground while still managing to make it very campy & the animals were also great! Absolutely will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Cypress Inlet Resort! The staff onsite were very friendly and helpful without ever being intrusive. We loved that the privacy fencing gave us our own little campsite and made the space feel comfortable and private.
We loved the location and enjoyed hiking at Circle B Bar Reserve and biking the Panther Trail. We had read other reviews mentioning road noise, but it really wasn’t bad at all. We could hardly hear it over our RV’s AC, and it never bothered us during our stay.
Thank you for a great stay! We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to return!

I had the pleasure of being the only camper there when I went and the privacy was incredible. His 25 acres include a watershed that creates a beautiful creek. All the property surrounding him is cattle pastures so you do not have to worry about running into any human neighbors. The hermitage cabin was perfect. I mostly spent my time wandering the property but when it was time to sleep the cabin provided me a safe place to stay and the box fan worked all through the night to keep me cool despite the hot, humid Florida evening. Dennis was a lovely host and showed me the features of the property upon check in and helped make sure I had a fire started before he went. I would highly recommend staying on Dennis’s land.

I told him this was my maiden voyage in my camper van & I greatly appreciated his suggestion of which site would work best for my needs. I wanted a peaceful & quiet place all to myself for a couple days & his property provided just what I was looking for. I would definitely stay again. This site felt safe & As a solo, 60ish female this was important Also, I enjoyed his dock on the lake across the street.

I loved every moment of my stay except for the moment I got lost and ran my car in a rut. Lol That was all my mistake. I could get to my campsite but it took several tries to find my way out. My stay was a 10/10. After those attempts, i had it mastered. I walked many miles exploring the camp. The animals were so fun to watch! I loved it all.
