This place is a haven of peace and quiet. It is 25 miles to the nearest anything, so bring what you need.

It calls itself a resort, but much of it is still solidly rustic, but there is a steam room, their masseur is top notch (he isn't there all the time), the chef puts out a very limited but top notch menu and the drinks are poured strong.

The wildlife is stunning. Deer, Turkey, racoon, alligator, opossum, eagles, hawks, owls, if you are remarkably lucky the Florida Panther and rarely a black bear. Uncountable varieties of birds and butterflies.

There is a variety of places to stay from primitive cabins to a 3br house, many 50 Amp RV sites,and all the tent space you could want.

Yes, you can get plenty of alone time, or you can join a party that might get a bit wild. Your choice.

Most of the weekends find plenty of people around the pool, but there are miles and miles of trails to wander as well.

A fantastically equipped store at the lodge for most anything vital you might have forgotten, although if you smoke, better bring them as it is at least a 40 mile round trip to restock.

The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome, don't hesitate ask them for anything.

Life would be less fun without this refuge.
