The Nature House is AMAZING. Exactly as described. Clean & well equipped. My family really enjoyed our stay. We used the outdoor games, the swings, and most memorable the canoes. The secret spring was breath taking and will forever be a great memory for my family. Thanks for a great vacation! We will be back!

Totally secluded hidden getaway. If you love off the beaten path, this is your place! The hosts were very kind and responsive. Just a short canoe ride down is a beautiful spring.

Went here to celebrate our son's 13th birthday. He LOVED having the loft all to himself. Plus that TV's are in every room including the loft. The house was well kept and well stocked. It is remote, though there are neighbors, and we were able to easily get groceries delivered. We saw bunnies and armadillos which was cool. We weren't able to use the canoes, I think the water was a bit too low, but seemed like it would be fun. Our dog loved the big yard to run in. Had a great time spring hopping on our trip. Rainbow Springs is nearby and gorgeous. The only con is the looooonnngg drive down multiple dirt roads to reach the property. If you have anyone in your party that is sensitive to car sickness or pain aggravated by movement, this should be considered as the trip is bumpy. That said, it is totally worth it!

My 9 year old Grandson said he is going to live there when he get's old enough. We had a wonderful experience. Best canoeing ever. Would stay here again.

Peaceful location, super convenient being right on the canal. Just pop the canoe in the water and off you go! The house is nestled in a gorgeous canopy of live oak trees, on a lovely property. Well maintained home, immaculately clean. Remote enough for a quiet outdoor experience, but close enough to the the grocery for Instacart delivery.
Comfortable bed, cozy fireplace. Enjoyed our stay!

Staying at the Nature House was a beautiful little retreat from the rest of the world. It was nestled back in the woods and the peaceful, quiet property was like being wrapped in a big cozy blanket. Thanks to the huge picturesque windows, the view from this home are stunning and you never want to look away. Between gorgeous cotton candy sunrises peaking through the winding branches of the great oak trees, to little critters making their way through the back yard in the early evenings, there was always something to see. I also appreciate the owner of Nature House and the management at Vacationado for working with me for a special request and helping make my stay perfect.
The one downside I will say with The Nature House is the WI-FI signal is very weak and doesn't reach to every place in the house. The house is very secluded so we had no cell phone reception so a better WI-FI would have been appreciated.
10/10 would stay again.

Everything is wonderful in this cabin. Very cozy, pretty, cool decor.
Many games available for the whole family, indoors and outdoors.
We found the house fully prepared for our stay, and completely clean. The house also has all the utensils and small facilities for everyday life, which helped a lot.
The region is very calm and silent. A peaceful place.
Thank you very much to everyone involved in organizing "The Nature House"

This place is a hidden treasure! What an unforgettable stay. The property is gorgeous and the house was impeccable. Plenty of towels, pillows and blankets. The beds are comfortable and so is the furniture. We enjoyed a canoe ride right from the backyard, we grilled and used the fire pit for marshmallows. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Lelia was a pleasure to deal with. She made sure to answer our questions and offered early check-in and late check-out. I cannot wait to come back.

Beautiful staying!!
Everything was so gorgeous !! Nice, peaceful location.
We loved the house. Everything was clean, the kitchen is equipped so we cooked easily. We had a lot of extra linens. Respect the owner, everything is thought out to the smallest detail.
The stay gave us many unforgettable memories!!
One thing I would have to improve if its possible, is to upgrade the internet connection.
I would recommend this house to everybody who loves
wild nature and appeasement.

We’ve stayed at the Nature House twice and will be back! This is the spot if you’re looking for total relaxation and unplugging from a busy daily grind, while still enjoying many creature comforts! The icing on the cake is the wonderful customer service we got everyone at Vacationado.

The house is beautiful, design and comfort are top. Beautiful enclosed garden with direct access to water and canoes to enjoy it. Away from civilization, enjoy the quietest evenings and nights whether outside under starlit skies or in the comfort of the living room. The host makes sure everything will be in perfect shape for your visit and contacts frequently to confirm you have all you need. 10/10 would definitely come back again. Highly recommended

Beautiful location the photos look pretty online but doesn’t capture the full essence as when you arrive! This location had everything we needed and the list they provide on what to bring extra was perfect. My son burnt his little finger and they even had a first aid kit ready for us. 10/10 would recommend. Peaceful and quiet and just what we needed.

The Nature House did not disappoint! The house is very comfortable with everything you could need. We also enjoyed the large windows where we saw a hummingbird visit the same flower every morning. We made a list of all of the wildlife we saw! We would love to visit the area again and hopefully stay at the Nature House.

Incredible cabin
Nature House is an incredibly relaxing, beautiful getaway, and the online photos don’t do it justice. The owner thought of absolutely everything and was easy to contact. We went horseback riding, canoeing, & hiking during our stay…all within 20-30 minutes away. It’s the perfect place to unwind.

Quiet time
Overall nice time. The front yard was a bit sloppy from all the rain.

great place
The cabin was beautiful and it had everything we needed. The road to and from the place was horrible, pot holes and with all the rain puddles.

Great spot
Great spot to unwind and have some fun. We booked direct and couldn't have been happier with the whole process. Will definitely return.

Loved It
Loved it, It is definitely off the beaten path, but there are a few people around that keep to themselves. Careful on your way out, cell service is spotty. For all that you get away from its a true value.

Excellent Time
Cozy, private, comfortable, are some of adjectives that describe Nature House. The construction and familiar distribution inside is excellent. Only minutes from Rainbow River, and with a water channel behind that connect with a bigger waterway. Theoretically is only for five people but is capable to accommodate easily seven or eight, plenty of space. Very quite neighborhood , except maybe two big dogs from the home beside who tried some times to break the fence between houses. A very good idea could be to include with the house at least two kayaks.

Nice house but not what we were looking for
The house certainly has a wow factor with those windows! Good furnishings and fun decor. While it's a quality house, it wasn't sparkling clean. The loft was dusty and the dishes in the cupboard were poorly cleaned. We had looked forward to using the grill, but turns out it is located in the separated screened in structure that. The structure is not well protected from the elements and it shows it. We decided not to use the grill. Additionally, the kitchen lacked some of the basics like salt and pepper.
The name Nature House gives the impression that you're in the middle of nature to be enjoyed. You ARE 2.4 miles from the paved road, but at the same time there are neighbors immediately on both sides. Going for a walk entails walking on a 1 lane dirt road that gets quite muddy with the regular rain in Florida, with lots of blind turns. House after house had no trespassing signs...nothing wrong with that but at the same time it did not feel like a friendly inviting neighborhood.
Also, we did send an email to the management but it turns out the booklet in the house had the wrong email address. They did respond promptly when I looked up the contact address online, but did not offer to have someone clean up the place.

Good getaway for relaxation
The property itself was very nice! We enjoyed the peace and quiet. All the amenities of home. Your big beautiful feature window definitely needs cleaning to truly enjoy the experience. We thought everything about the whole process was easy. Thank you for a wonderful time.

My family had a wonderful time. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
We had 9 Adults stay at the Nature House and it was an absolute blast! The trees were amazing. Take hammocks! The house was clean and well stocked. We made breakfast, lunch and dinner most days. Went to the cool nearby towns and of course went to the most beautiful springs we have ever seen often. If we are ever in the area again we will 100% stay at the Nature House!
