The Roots ReTREEt is situated on 4.5 acres tucked away in Old Florida of Volusia County. The name comes from the roots that stretch throughout the property with the TREEs providing a sanctuary for all who come to rest. Our little piece of paradise has so much serenity with a fully wooded landscape while its only miles from fun things to do: surfing, biking, hiking, boating, fishing, paddling, swimming and more! If you're lucky enough to experience the wildlife that shows up regularly, you could have the pleasure of seeing wild animals like: turkeys, deer, pigs, armadillos, hawks, dragonflies, butterflies, turtles and many others. We're proud of our oasis and thrilled to share it with folks that appreciate protected land as much as we do. The land is part of the resource corridor, which is protected wetlands and it is environmentally sensitive and ecologically significant. This means that it is an ecosystem that supports the wildlife and cannot be touched or manipulated in any way. Lucy's place is our community space for you and your family's use. It has lots of seating, plenty of places to relax, a grill and outdoor sink for cooking, and a gas fireplace to enjoy the scenery at night. A hot tub awaits you, which is open to the stars and great after a day of lounging or fun out and about. We are close to everything but far enough for you to relax after a fun day of exploring. Daytona Speedway is a 30 min. drive. You can be on the beach in 20 min. or putting your boat/jet skis in the river in 15 min. We'd be honored to share what we consider to be heaven on earth with you. :-)The Steely East RV camping site (concrete pad) is situated at the east entrance of the Root ReTREEt in front of the quonset hut (affectionally named Steely). The entry to the site is gated and all of the amenities of the Root ReTREEt are available to you and your family and friends. There are views of the mature trees on this protected piece of property part of the resource corridor (wetlands and water bodies that sustain the wildlife). You could be lucky to see the turkeys or pigs in the morning or the deer in the evening along with hawks that live on the property and owls that inhibit the area. In the 1700s, the Seminoles took care of this land. The Mascogo also known as the black Seminoles were Native American, African American and Mexican (as they later fled to Mexico) were specifically in this area. In 1875 or thereabouts, the Surruque tribe (influenced by the French) manned the land. It was the fresh water district since it was so close to the river and the ocean. In 1919m a tribe called Timucua farmed here. It is our honor to share this sanctuary with you as well as the deep history and the story the land tells as you experience it.
