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

Check in was quick and easy at the entrance, we were escorted to our site, and the accommodations for us and our pets were excellent. The trailer was clean and well equipped, including kitchen equipment, fresh towels, and linens. The WiFi worked well, and there was a good selection of cable channels on tv. There was such a large choice of amenities in the park that most people could stay busy. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, fitness center, activities throughout the day, and walking trails all over the park. Additionally there is an on site restaurant next to the pool to pick up a quick meal. Would definitely stay there again. Check out was a simple task of dropping off the key.

I loved the scenic views and the sounds of wildlife. The property is great for walking, scenic photos, and provides a peaceful retreat from everyday life. The treehouse has a wrap around porch with pretty views on all sides. I loved the campfire area with wide benches a cozy two seater rocker.
The host, Dennis, was very kind and knowledgeable.

This place is amazing, it’s such a hidden gem. I wanted a quiet place to erase my mind since I have been working a lot lately, for three days I could connect my self with nature, have a quality time with my boyfriend with no screens. Just us, god and the little animals in the woods.

Dennis is very kind and did an amazing job building the cabins. The surrounding is so beautiful and quiet. We saw a lot of animals, even a big alligator in the pont near our house! The campfire place was awesome and we saw the most beautiful sunset. Definitely would recommend to spend a night in this wonderful place!

We had a fantastic time staying in Dennis’s “treehouse”. It’s a wonderful, rustic cabin. Very comfortable and clean. The property is beautiful, secluded and well maintained. We saw deer, turkey, gators, and many birds. We loved listening to the owls at night, and were lucky enough to get a late night rainstorm. We will definitely be back!

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!

This campground is beautiful but it can be a little noisy and overcrowded. My husband and I took our dog on a walk and came back to find that our kayak paddles had been stolen. It's a nice place to camp and there is a dog beach but lock up your valuables and DO NOT leave anything unattended.

Fab waterfront sites. Keep ALL food in the car. We once had 'coons rip into our tent while we were asleep and create a bucket brigade! Next morning (after we'd moved it to the trunk) there were paw prints around the lock. Great dog-friendly sites on the water.

Make sure you explore Egmont Key while camping here. It's a short $20 ferry ride that leaves from the Bay Pier. Ferry leaves promptly at 10am during the longer days and they're now offering an afternoon trip at 2pm. Weekdays are best to beat the crowds.

If you want a fire/firewood I suggest stopping at Publix first. $10 a bundle here (Death Valley prices :-0)! Also there aren't any fire pits so you have to rent one for $3/night and they hold a $20 deposit on your card until it's returned.
