About this property

Pet friendly, fenced acres, oak hammock, and lake. Star gazing. Peaceful.

New lake front cottage, nestled in a beautiful volunteer oak hammock, spread across 3.75 cool, shady acres. Ample space for an additional 12 camping guests.
We are right next to Florida's largest State Preserve, surrounded by pristine nature, wildlife, and some of the darkest sky’s in Florida. The mornings and the sunsets are enchanting. And the star gazing is phenomenal. The nearby state park is very popular with astronomy fans. It is also great for birders and is on the Florida birding trial.
Our listing is a destination. We are far removed from the grind of town and right next to Kissimmee Prairie State Preserve. We enjoy the same amazing sunsets, star gazing, sounds of nature, and quiet. In a word “PEACE”. The prairie is good for the soul. The entire 3.75 acres is fenced, and pets are welcomed up to 25lbs. The pond has a fountain that sends cascading water sounds that can help anyone sleep like a baby. We have ample space for extra guests for the day, or overnight camping, and we have outside services. (water &110 &30 amp power) Additional guests camping are $40/night for up to 4 people.
Golf carts are welcomed, but no atvs, or dirt bikes please. The neighbors are opposed to the noise.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia V Pike

Host profile image
Lifetime nature lovers, this volunteer oak hammock has been our camping get-a-way for the past 18 years. The peace and quite here is like medicine. We just added the home to provide a little more creature comforts, and to share with others what we love so much about the prairie.

Why they chose this property

Wide open space, beautiful nature, shady oak hammock, by a private heart shaped lake. Quiet as can be usually, but ATVs and target practice can be heard at times, airboats too. Our location is one of the darkest in the state of Florida, making for incredible night skies. The property has extra hook-ups for RV campers or tent campers.
There is an outdoor covered party area, as well as a smokeless fire pit.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, peaceful, private, 3.75 acres, fenced in for dogs, ability to overnight up to 20 people per night. Covered party area and smokeless fire pit. Gazebo with bed swing and lovely sunsets. Outdoor bodyweight gym. Golfcart friendly. Private lake. 30 amp outlets for charging electric vehicles or campers.
