Experience a side of Florida that’s becoming harder and harder to find. Hawk’s Hideaway sits on two private acres along the historic Peace River, offering a laid-back riverside retreat where fishing, paddling, wildlife, and quiet nights under the stars are part of everyday life.
Located at the end of a quiet road, the property offers plenty of privacy and virtually no passing traffic. Wake up to birdsong, explore the property on foot or by bike, or head straight to the water. Guests can fish and kayak directly from the property, with access to the Peace River for boating and exploring the surrounding waterways.
When evening arrives, the setting changes again. With no streetlights nearby, Hawk’s Hideaway offers remarkably dark skies where the stars and moon take center stage. Slow down, listen to the sounds of nature, and experience the quieter pace of Old Florida.
The Peace River area is known for fishing, wildlife, and outdoor recreation, with additional opportunities for hiking, hunting, and exploring nearby. Despite the secluded feel, you’re only about 8 miles from downtown Punta Gorda and 5 miles from I-75, putting restaurants, shopping, nightlife, Gulf beaches, and destinations including Venice, Englewood, and Naples within reach.
Your host is a retired businessman, sailor, and photographer who fell in love with the natural beauty and slower pace of this part of Florida. Hawk’s Hideaway reflects that same spirit: relaxed, outdoorsy, dog-friendly, and welcoming to travelers looking for a simple place to unwind.
Whether you spend your stay fishing the Peace River, paddling from the property, exploring Southwest Florida, or simply sitting beneath a sky full of stars, come as you are and enjoy a quieter side of Florida.

Bald Cypress trees cover the property. You may feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, when you are actually in the center of everything!
This is an ideal, secure "home base" for hikers and bikers heading out on day trips and excursions.. In any direction are Southwest Florida’s premier nature preserves, estuaries, sanctuaries, state and national parks. Delnor-Wiggins Pass and boat ramp access to the open Gulf are 14 miles away. Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, the CREW Wildlife and Environmental Area, Everglades National Park, Lover's Key, 10,000 Islands and the Florida Panther Wildlife Management Area are all just minutes away.
The recently finished Corkscrew Island Regional Park and Aquatics Center offers swimming, tennis, racquetball and pickleball courts.
This is a "dark" location, which is excellent for stargazing.
Note: We are located within the Collier County "mosquito control district". This is a huge plus+ in the summer months.

Our entire family had a wonderful time at Creekside Retreat this weekend. For the children (ages 4, 5, and 8), every moment felt like an adventure. They kayaked together for the first time and loved exploring nature-- watching birds, turtles, and all the wildlife around them.
The property seemed designed for our enjoyment: a trampoline, the hammocks, the swings, the magical lights that came on at night, and the safe walking paths where kis could explore on their own.
For us parents, it was the perfect escape from the busy city: a peaceful place to disconnect, unwind, and truly enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature.
John is an exceptional host. He was always available to answer questions, guide us around the property's many beautiful areas, and make sure we had everything we needed. His hospitality made our stay effortless and even more enjoyable.
We left feeling refreshed and with wonderful family memories. We highly recommend Creekside Retreat to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature.

We loved our stay at J and P creekside A frame cabin. As a reptile lover I'll probably be the only negative review for not seeing a gator, but there were many tiny lizards that could be observed at any time of day outside playing and chasing eachother. We would love to come back with a larger family group, the place was quite, private, and well maintained. I definitely recommend staying here!

The tiny a-frame was super cool. The bed is a little big for the space but super comfortable. Fridge, microwave, ice maker....all the conveniences of any other vrbo/airBnb, even a grill. The bathroom was super clean and convenient as was the outdoor shower. Way more decoration and landscaping than any other Hipcamp I've been to. Our dog was exhausted from chasing squirrels and running back and forth across the property all weekend.

I loved the A-frame cabin, it was cute and cozy. it had everything you need for a good stay like plates, cups, and ice maker, a roku tv, and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom and outdoor shower were so nicely decorated. The plants all around the porch are a nice touch too. the only down side i can think of is the huge cockroaches i saw in the morning, but outside of those it was lovely

John & Pattie were such lovely hosts. Their property and cabin reflect such a carefully curated & laid back atmosphere. Being so close to the water, having the "tree house" landing for the kids to play on & all the swings & other outdoor areas was wonderful! My husband & I can't wait to go back!

We had the chance to stay at the A-frame Cabin which has all you need, including it's own bathroom and shower. The campgrounds are secluded but not so much that, if you need to go into the city it will only take you about 15-20 mins to get to the grocery stores. There are great restaurants in downtown Punta Gorda. John & Patty are great hosts and they are very welcoming of pets, which is very important to us. We will definitely be staying again.
