Lisa has such a fun space here! Right on the water, you can paddle straight from the dock to Weeki Wachee state park and other really cool sites. Super close drive to Weeki Wachee state park and even chassahowitzka and Homosassa. Spent the day outside on the dock and the night inside the enclosed patio playing darts. Such a fun get away. Perfect location. Bed is very comfortable. Wake up to the manatees right outside the window.

We had an amazing stay at Jamil’s cabin/treehouse and couldn’t recommend it more. Jamil was an incredibly responsive host, and the accommodations were comfortable, thoughtful, and beautifully set up. We especially loved the well-curated games and activities, which made it perfect for spending quality time with friends. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely love to come back

Perfect for our large group gathering. Between the bedrooms, sofas (so many sofas!), and tent spots, there was more than enough space for everyone. It got close to freezing, so we loved being able to gather inside or by the fire pit. A beautiful and spot with tons of space both indoors and outside!

Absolutely incredible stay! The Treehouse Cabin Retreat exceeded every expectation the perfect mix of comfort and nature. The cabin and treehouse are spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need, from kitchen essentials to comfy bedding. The property is peaceful, surrounded by towering trees and the soothing sounds of nature.
We loved the outdoor shower under the stars, the firepit for s’mores, and the hammocks for lazy afternoons. It’s close to the Suwannee River and crystal-clear springs, which made day trips for swimming and kayaking so easy. The host was responsive, kind, and made everything simple from start to finish.
If you’re looking to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy a unique glamping experience this place is pure magic. We’re already planning to come back!

Christine’s land was the perfect place for our family trip. There was something for all of us. There was level ground and handicapped ramps so my parents felt safe walking around, comfortable bedrooms, well planned campsites for tents or RVs, and televisions and video games. The property is lovely. Sitting on the dock and watching the sunset on the Suwannee was stunning. Everyone had a wonderful time!

Absolutely Phenomenal experience! This place was the greatest choice I could have made for our trip. My father and I took my 3 year old son here for his first time camping, and boy did he have a blast. While being close enough to town for supplies, it also retains that real camping feel thanks to the lovely wooded lot. The treehouse w/ the hidden room was a major hit for my son, as well as the fire pit to cook hotdogs and smores. Inside, the Cabin had all the welcoming needs we could have wished for. We were able to cook inside and out, which was very nice. The board games, classic VHS tapes, and outdoor games added a bunch of fun for my son too. The host, Jamil, thought of everything possible to make this place awesome. He was also super friendly and accommodating. We are already planning our next trip to this wonderful place. Thanks so much!
