Is love enough? Not really...
The good: The place is quiet, has a rustic charm, a good vibe and a clean hot tub.
The not so good: The village is in need of some major love. The pictures aren't what the place looks like today. We stayed in Ome Sweet Ome yurt, and it had patches on the yurt itself, as well and it was in need of a good cleaning. The floor was wet maybe from the ac unit? I'm not sure. The heater wasn't really more than a cosmetic heater ( if there was heat, it was not alot). As for the rest of the village, the dock boards are old, and there were screws coming out of them where people are walking. The dock into the lake was gone due to hurricane but that wasn't mentioned. The railing was rope and not safe at all. The common room where the fridge, pool room and kitchenette are located were worn and stained, most of the handles for the sink and other water sources were gone and you had to turn on and off a valve on the pipe itself. We ordered a couples dinner package @ 7-ish, but ended up eating with another couple around 8:30, just to eat. The food was good but mostly cold and no dessert. IMO, this was misadvertised as the place looks very different from its pics and so many things needed repair. If you want to use that as part of the Hippie charm, I think then you need to be honest about what people are buying. It's run down, but runs on love. I don't think the dinner was worth the money, and I would not go back due to the current conditions. The Hippie vibe is not enough for the price.

Clothing Optional Waterfront Cabin
I don’t know where to begin with this review! Perhaps how easy Kennedy made even before we checked in? He upgraded us to the bigger cabin (thank you) so we could sit on the screened porch w our dog. Or he accommodated us with our dinner the night of check in (Friday during lent, no meat) it’s difficult to begin to say how amazing our stay was! Our cabin was absolutely perfect! From the cute front door, the patio to the bed which I slept remarkably well on! Breakfast in the morning on our screened in patio was also amazing! Drinking our coffee overlooking the lake with our dog by our side. Just a beautiful experience!
The close proximity to the nature conservation. Area was close enough for me to walk (and then walk about and sit in the hot tub!) my husband attacked the trails on his dirt bike (also nice and close)
And the massage was out of this world! We had an absolutely stellar vaca at our home away from home! I was finally able to relax, read a book & stare endlessly at the lake! Couldn’t have asked for better weekend retreat!

Perfect Chill Escape from the City
We had such an incredible time staying with Kennedy at Runaway Bay! He has done such an incredible job creating an inclusive escape that encourages community and peace. The view from the dock is incredible, and curling up on a couch to watch the sun set and chat with other visitors was such a highlight from our trip. Kennedy is an incredible host - he is so friendly and welcoming, and really took the time not only to meet us but to also introduce us to other guests as well. We spent some time exploring the area and spring hopping at Salt Springs, Silver Glen, and Juniper Springs, and Kennedy provided some awesome recommendations for local spots and places to check out! We will 100% be recommending Runaway Bay to our friends - and are already looking into coming back with a group of people to rent out more of the space for a long weekend away from the city.

Girls trips!
We had an amazing and relaxing time, we also felt very safe and comfortable, and we were 2 girls, so natrully we were nervous. But we couldn’t have asked for a better experience, we will 100% be back. I’ve been to many resorts all of the country and the Caribbean and this place truly out beat most of them, by far!

Runaway Lodge = Peaceful Hippie H
This is more rustic than it is luxurious, so as long as you appreciate a little bit of "Old Florida," nudity, and all the charm of a relaxing, peaceful, hippie hamlet.
Kennedy is a great host, and his calm demeanor, chill attitude, and " roll with the punches" personality adds to the whimsy of Runaway Lodge.
He's accommodating and so long as you remember that "hippie time' automatically adds an hour to any service time, you'll enjoy his company and cuisine.
We made the best of our stay, and had a delightful, quiet, and peaceful experience.
