The Nature House

The Nature House is a secluded cabin retreat nestled alongside a canal with access to the Withlacoochee River. You will start your adventure on a three-mile lumpy bumpy dirt road so leave your delicate vehicles behind. Campers and small RVs do travel on the roads, but rains and potholes can be challenging at times. The beautiful 150-year-old granddaddy oak trees will welcome you on way and may limit cell phone coverage. Wildlife sightings are common with deer, possums, alligators, and coyotes. The nearby national forests also have bears and monkeys. You will likely see insects you have never seen before.

Big Blue springs is just up the road, accessible only by kayak or by foot. The town of Dunnellon is also close by and has wonderful shops and eateries. Three Sister Springs, about 45 minutes away, is one of the only places in the world where you can swim with Manatees in crystal clear waters. Rainbow Springs is about 30 minutes away and offers beautiful waterfalls, a lazy river, and swimming in the clear spring-fed waters. Spread out in 1500 square feet of living space. Canoes and kayaks can be launched from the back yard.

Groceries and shopping are within close distance; Ocala is about 20 minutes away. While secluded you will be close to neighbors who choose to live here full time or visit for fun. The Nature House is your rustic home away from home. Great for making family memories or just unwind from the daily grind.
