I wanted to take my mom who has cancer to a place where she could forget about her troubles. We were able to spend quality time together remember how healing it is to connect with nature. There was not much internet or cell service but it was exactly what we needed to disconnect from that world. This spot has everything needed to stay comfortable and relax.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

We loved the rustic cabin and beautiful scenery. We saw about 4 alligators on the property lounging and minding their business by the water. Dennis was kind and allowed us to check in early so we could enjoy the sunset. We enjoyed ourselves.

Dennis's place was exactly what we were looking for quite, secluded and animals running around everywhere we did get a little spooked by the Deere hanging out in the scrubs while walking around the property hot shower little advice do not turn water full blast it's only a little hot water heater and if you use minimum water not like your at home hot water will last, if you make this mistake like I did give hot water heater just a few minutes and just crack the handle open and you will have super hot water again plenty of firewood first night we got in late and had some plans already Dennis's mentioned to go and eat at Solomon's castle wish we did we did take the tour but we had all ready eaten but food smelled like my grandma was in the kitchen cooking back to the fire wood second night great fire and when we woke up it was 42 degrees so we just through some more wood on the fire and kept worm while having our morning coffee with the animals best part no cell service unless you walked up to the road cabin was super clean plenty of night light powered by solar panels that charges a battery we are already planning another trip to get away from the crazyness of living east of 95 thank you again Mr Dennis

My fiancé and I had an awesome stay at Rasayana Cove! The treehouse was exactly as described—cozy and comfortable, with all the modern amenities we needed (stove, toilet, electricity), yet still offering rustic charm. The surrounding nature created a peaceful atmosphere that allowed us to disconnect from electronics and truly enjoy each other’s company. We opted to bring a queen-sized air mattress for extra sleeping space, which fit perfectly in the spacious living area. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed—plates, utensils, cookware, and even seasonings—making it easy to prepare our meals. One highlight of our trip was visiting Solomon’s Castle nearby, where we enjoyed the restaurant which had delicious milkshakes. Back at Rasayana Cove, we were lucky enough to spot some of the property’s most fascinating local residents—three large alligators! We’d love to return in the future! Special thanks to D’nesh for his hospitality and helpful guidance, from providing clear directions to giving us an orientation of the property upon arrival. This getaway was exactly what we were looking for!

A fine spread of land that captures the spirit of old Florida with a living creek and mature pastures surrounded by woods and mature oaks. This is a good place to decompress and connect to Mother Earth. Dennis was a gracious host and we were grateful for the experience. Thank you
