from Orlando and Tampa for a long weekend get-a-way with a short
stress-free drive through Central Florida! (Don't forget to ask
about our special weekend rates.)
Events:
Interested in holding an event in this sanctuary?! We have had many
wedding events = 200 person and the feedback has been great! Umbrella seating provided in the tame lawn area with wine tables strewn across the
catwalks, walkways and decks while music from the outside deck
speakers provided that extra special touch. All this while
visitors are constantly surrounded by the natural raw beauty of
Florida.
Florida flora and fauna:
A wetlands Cypress stand adjacent to an oak and palmetto hammock
thrives in the moderate Central Florida weather providing an ideal
habitat for a large cross-section of Florida flora and fauna.
You will hear the owls hooting and the frogs croaking while lounging
on the deck and enjoy filling the feeder to study the black capped
chickadees, red red cardinals, our beloved titmouse and many
others. Both the red shouldered and red tailed hawks frequent the
fields nearby. The graceful stork and demanding osprey are frequent
visitors to the property while the herons and egret fish in the
creek overlooked by the lower deck. On very special days we have
had otters feast in our creek! Many other wildlife sightings are
possible -- but not predictable!
