Rasayana Cove is a 25-acre eco-retreat located in the heartland of west central Florida. An hour's drive east of Sarasota surrounded by vast tracts of orange groves and ranch land, Rasayana Cove has been operating as a small retreat center since 1995. The long eastern boundary borders Horse Creek, a major tributary of the Peace River. The property features two spring-fed ponds - one small and the other large.  The cabins are accessible by well constructed shell-topped roads with good drainage and a variety of nature pathways.  A natural ecosystem remains undisturbed in the middle of the property - a Florida bay head of native flora and wildlife. While most of the state is crowded and overdeveloped, this eco-retreat offers a haven of peace in the pristine nature of Florida

Hermitage Cabin w/ Cedar Walk-in Shower
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.

can't wait to return
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

1BR Treehouse w/ Kitchen, Large Deck
Quiet & Quaint Getaway
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!

Floridian Nature
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
