Absolutely loved this property!!!

Best vrbo I have had! We were greeted by onsite owners and given a tour upon arrival. Cottage is full of island style decorations and outdoor areas are full of bird feeders and yard decorations. We saw almost as many birds as at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Ideal place to stay if you are a nature lover and Karen & Don couldn’t be more accommodating

Excellent Stay

I stayed here for 2 weeks, It was excellent value for less than the price of a hotel room! The place is situated on the river, had excellent scenery and all the amenities you can think of! Karen and Don were fabulous hosts as well and are very accommodating your stay to help with anything that you need. I look forward to my return to the Treetops cottage.
