Wow! What a hidden gem! This entirely off-the-grid cabin is perfect if you’re looking to disconnect from the world. This beautiful cabin is nestled amongst the oak trees which provide plenty of shade. The property is surrounded by open prairies and cattle fields and it was so nice to wake up to the sounds of the cattle nearby. There is a creek that runs along the property, which makes for a nice evening stroll. Once the sun goes down, the forest comes alive and you can hear the owls calling out to eachother. Although this cabin is off-grid, I found the camping stove easy to use and was happy to see that basic cooking wares were provided. The host, Dennis, was kind and easy to communicate with. I appreciated that he came by the day of our arrival to make sure we were settling in ok. I look forward to coming back again in the cooler months and would definitely recommend this place!

My husband and I loved our stay at "R" camp. Craig was attentive and helpful and the land was beautiful, peaceful and secluded. Our covered wagon was spotlessly clean, and I loved the magnetic mosquito net. What a clever idea! A great place for dogs. A great place to get away. We will definitely be back.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay in Craig's treehouse. He was a gracious host and made sure to answer any questions we had, including making sure we found our way safely to the site. I appreciated that we were allowed use of the propane grill in the main common house. It's decently well-lit at night with solar lights. Great choice for bringing pets too - our one dog loved running around, and the other enjoyed watching safely from the treehouse deck. We'd love to come back with our son next time.

We went on a hike and fell in love with the beautiful bald cypress trees and roots

1 night at Rasayana Cove

My wife and I had a great little getaway here for 1 night. We enjoyed walking around the property and checking out Horse Creek. Also enjoyed chatting with Dennis.

6 nights at Lake Huntley Oasis - Pvt Dock -Acre

We loved having our own fenced in place. Nice lake for fishing and playing. Dogs loved it and we will return!

Loved it! Nice and relaxing! Your own little spot in Florida.

4 nights at Lake Huntley Oasis - Pvt Dock -Acre

Dennis is an amazing host, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. The property is absolutely stunning, a wonderful get away to old Florida. The cabin is spacious with plenty of room for little campers. My husband and I spent our birthday there with our ten month old and had a wonderful time.

Second visit and will be back to this great site. Very private, and peaceful. Frank is a responsive host in case you need help. Thank you Frank! Bring water, toilet, and pack out your trash. Site has good WiFi and enough solar to keep your batteries charged from a 15 amp outlet. You will need a long 3 prong extension cord. There are sand trails for ATV and motorbikes on adjacent properties in the development. I saw several kayak fishermen on the lake reeling in a catch.

We absolutely loved staying in this quaint cabin for the night and would definitely return! The property was so peaceful and it was beautiful to walk around and bird in the morning. Highly recommend!

Great spot, easy to access Got in at night and was easy to find. Hands off experience and was really pretty overlooking the water

2 nights at Rasayana Cove

We enjoyed our stay and the host is great. 2 nights was enough for us out in the wild, but it was a nice change from busy, coastal FL. It was exactly as expected, except the resident wildlife can be quite loud at night!

We loved our time Hipcamping here. The property is gorgeous and we heard so many barred owls each night. I’d love to come back again. We visited Myakka State Park nearby to botanize. Love this area!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway experience! Craig was a great host!!

Beautiful, well kept cabin was the perfect getaway from the city. It was definitely hard to leave.

I was not sure what to expect but I will say it was worth the drive. We rented the bunkhouse which was quite cool. There is no light pollution so you can see all of the stars. We had a nice camp fire. Craig the owner was super cool. I would go back for sure.

2 nights at "R" camp.

I truly enjoyed my two day stay. I loved being out in nature and most of all "off grid". It was a quiet and relaxing stay. The layout of the ranch was well planned. Craig is very creative in his building of the different units. He was also a very kind and thoughtful host. I highly recommend the "R" Ranch!

We enjoyed our one night. It’s a very Peaceful spot, easy in and out:)

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It felt very private and we enjoyed sitting outside and watching wild turkey and deer running through the field each morning. The live oaks are beautiful and there are many birds to watch. We wanted a quiet, relaxing stay and it was perfectly just that. We loved all the rustic windows and special wooden touches to the cabin. I did bring our own sheets, pillows, blankets, and towels so we were comfortable sleeping and it felt cozy. It was easy to cook on the propane stove and I planned for simple meals with little prep work and clean up. We used a cooler and left it on the porch for access. We plan to come back again to enjoy with our family.
