The Chassahowitzka River Campground is located 30 minutes from the property and offers you the opportunity to go biking, birding, hiking, or salt water fishing. It's a great place to spot manatees and even bald eagles as well! The campground also has a boat ramp.

Great location to bike trail
We really enjoyed our stay in Floral City. We had some problems finding the place but the owner was wonderful in giving us directions to get there. The weather was not ideal since we choose this area for biking but we made the best of it.

Quiet location near bike trail
We cam to ride our bikes. The Withlacoochee Bike trail is less than a half mile down the road. It is a well-maintained trail that you can ride for many miles. The house has an enclosed front porch perfect for us to put our bikes in each night. The yard is quite large. There is a firepit and a grill. We did not use the kayaks, but there were two stacked behind the house and a small pond down the road if we would have wanted to carry them down there. I had envisioned something much different in my head. You would need to carry them down the road and I am not sure exactly where you would launch them as the pond is accessible only by walking through other properties, as far as I could see anyway. It is very quiet and located on a curvy country road just outside of the very small town. Floral City is really not much of a town. You will have to drive 20-30 minutes if you need to shop. There were a couple of restaurants, a gas station, and a tiny grocery store, but we did not visit them. The cottage was adequate for our needs. The shower was hot and the water pressure was amazing! The decor was quaint. The bed was too hard for our taste, but we are used to a pillowtop with a memory foam pad, so we typically do not find any bed comfortable except our own. The house did have an odor, probably because it hadn't been used in awhile. I was prepared for this from reading other reviews, so I took my oil diffuser with me. The owner was wonderful to work with.

Perfect place to stay to ride the trail and get away.
Listing needs. To be updated- there is not a hot tub as listed in amenities. The cabin is clean but attention to detail is lacking. Bathroom needs some attention. Toilet handles and knobs behind seat are gross. Red mold in shower or is it red grout? Odd smell in cabin.

Floral City vacation
Had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay and were on the Withlacoochee bike trail every day. Trail was just a short distance up the street from the cottage. Stopped for ice cream in Inverness several times on our rides. A great vacation!
