Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape on 20 acres of serene rural land. Take a walk to the chicken coop and hear all of the chickens' opinions. Lay a blanket out in the meditation corner and enjoy the peace and quiet. Walk through the fruit trees and past the blackberries and take any ripe fruit of your liking. Explore the ranch to locate gopher tortoise burrows (but don't get too close) and wave at all the fox squirrels. Find the northeast corner of the ranch and play volleyball with your friends (let us know if you need a ball). Stroll through the round-pen-turned-garden and check out the Datil pepper plants which we use to make our datil sauce and datil vinegar (both are for sale to guests). Finally, enjoy the starry night sky. Thanks to our rural setting we have some of the darkest skies in Florida. There is an observatory only one mile away! Wildflower Ranch is close to dozens of crystal clear natural springs and rivers, bike trails, hiking trails, state parks, and more. We are ideally located in North Central Florida, so many of your Florida outdoor bucket list adventures are within reach. The ranch is a close neighbor of Devil's Den Prehistoric Spring, the Blue Grotto, Black Prong horse riding and biking trails, Cedar Lakes Woods & Gardens and more. Wildflower Ranch offers two private primitive campsites (accommodating tents or vehicles), one private RV site, and one private cabin. Our cabin has a private bathroom, while our campsites have 24/7 access to climate-controlled full bathrooms with hot water showers, flushing toilets, and sinks.

Weekend Trip to Skyacres aka the tin cottage

I loved staying here! The cabin was excellent and the property is beautiful. You can tell a lot of work was put into this property. We had an excellent time here with our dog and close by to some cool hikes and a nature drive near the Suwannee River. A great place to escape and have a few beers and smores.

This cabin retreat on the Suwanee River exceeded our expectations+ The owners where so extremely thoughtful and thought of everything to ensure that our visit was so relaxing and stress free. Amazing memories where made at the fire pit, the porch, the rocking chairs, the porch swing bed, the river overlook and so much more

The cabin was great and had everything that we needed. Our dog came with us and loved running around on the property. Kim was very quick to respond to all messages and available for anything we needed during our stay. The cabin was a great place to enjoy a fire under the states

The tiny house was awesome! Really enjoyed it and the surroundings. A perfect place to get away from it all, without roughing it. Kim was the perfect hostess! Very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend!

The house is great and all the stuff you need for enjoying the outdoors is handy (kayaks, canoe, grills, fire pit, fishing gear, etc.). It will be great if/when they get the dock repaired for better river access. Nothing is terribly close by for groceries and such so be sure to stock up on the way. If you're planning to spend a lot of time around the fire pit then bring some cutting tools. There are lots of downed trees on the property and nearby, but no way to easily use them. We learned a lot about this style of HipCamp (we normally tent camping) and really enjoyed it. This property seems to be a good value. I think we will be back again

4 nights at Riverside Lodging and Family Venue

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!

Words can’t describe the peace we found at this amazing cabin! The hosts thought of everything! It is off the beaten path, which was exactly what we wanted, so the thoughtful touches really made a big difference! The porch bed was perfect for afternoon reading and naps and was even an amazing bed for me to spend the night on escaping my husbands snoring! 😂 we had a fire going the whole time for hot dogs, smores and warmth and loved the cool nights just relaxing! This was a Thanksgiving getaway with nothing but relaxation on the agenda, but we are looking forward to returning when the docks are ready and the weather is warm enough to do some exploring with the kayaks! The spices, bath amenities, amazing air fresheners, games and supplies were such an amazing surprise - enhancing our experience and solidifying this as a future vacation spot! Thank you Kelli and Grant!
