700 acre ranch on Florida's Historic Peace River!

The Peace River Valley Ranch offers over a square mile of 'Old Florida' property for you to explore and over two miles of frontage on the Peace River. There are miles of well-maintained trails to walk, bike or drive on. Two canoes and two kayaks are available for your use, all included in the rental rate. We own the land on both sides of the Peace River, adding to the sense of privacy.

When you enter through the front gate, you will pass our 'Jeep Dock' where we keep our vehicles, and then our barn and event area with ten picnic tables under a covered pavilion.

RIVER HOUSE
Down the road about a mile is the 'River House' located directly on the Peace River. It has been freshly renovated and completely refurnished after being damaged by Hurricane Ian in 2022. It has two bedrooms with king beds and an open loft above the living room with two twin beds, two screen porches, an expansive deck looking over the river and a new fire pit. The River House is comfortably furnished with a large sectional couch in the living room, a new 85" TV and a Sonos sound system. Star Link internet has replaced the old radio-based system and it provides a level of service that just wasn't possible before in our remote location. The large kitchen has granite counter-tops, a large island, and new appliances, including an induction range, microwave with convection, and a refrigerator that makes craft ice. Both bedrooms feature king beds with memory foam mattresses. There are two restrooms, each with a shower. There is also a claw foot tub in the back screen porch, along with a pedestal sink. There is a new Weber Genesis gas grill on the upper deck.

BACK CABIN
Our "Back Cabin" is located directly behind the River House and it will accommodate two guests in a king bed. This building was greatly improved after Hurricane Irma in 2017 and it now has a large screen porch out back, central air-conditioning and a luxurious shower. It is has a 65-inch TV, a small refrigerator and a coffee maker. It is on the same Wi-Fi network as the River House.

LODGE
The 'Lodge' is located about 1/4 mile from the River House. It has four bedrooms and sleeps eight. Each bedroom is equipped with its own restroom and a small screen porch with a claw-foot tub facing into the woods. The Lodge was also renovated and refurnished after Hurricane Ian in 2022. It no longer has a pool table, and instead it has been transformed into a comfortable living room with a small but functional kitchen and a 54" round dining table. Like the River House, it also has a large sectional couch, an 85-inch TV, and a Sonos sound system. A second Star Link internet system serves the Lodge and provides excellent service. All bedrooms have been refurnished as well. The bedrooms at either end have King Beds and the bedrooms adjacent to the living room now have full beds rather than twins (two full beds in each room). The full beds are much more comfortable for adults. All beds have memory foam mattresses. All bedrooms and the living room are now served by individual mini-split AC systems that are quiet and efficient. Tankless water heaters have been added too--a big plus when filling up one of the clawfoot tubs for a hot bath!
There is no additional rental charge for the use of the Original Cabin or the Lodge--only the cleaning fee varies.

EVENTS
We also have an area for gatherings of up to 25 people near the barn with a covered pavilion with picnic tables underneath. We have hosted quite a few weddings and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss having yours here. An event fee applies to any gatherings of over sixteen (16) people. Please inquire for details as group size limits will vary depending time of year and property conditions. Only 16 guests may stay overnight.

We only rent to a single party at a time. You will have exclusive use of The Peace River Valley Ranch during your stay--if your party is smaller than 16, our other accommodations will be left vacant and the cleaning fee will be reduced.

Please note NO HUNTING IS ALLOWED. We are located approximately one hour and fifteen minutes from Disney World and about one hour and forty-five minutes from Downtown Orlando.
