The sound of nature.

Family Getaway

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!

Beautiful spot!

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!

Perfect place!

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"

Unreal stay

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 little retreat

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.

Peace and Quiet down a Bumpy road

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!

Nature House

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.

Unplug and relax!

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.

Fantastic vacation spot

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

Perfect oasis

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.
