The cabin was spacious with full kitchen and a screened in deck. The cabin was elevated the car park was directly under the cabin. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Both main rooms had effective A/C. The staff was also helpful and connected us to local 2 hr boat tour that was really special. It was a unique experience.

Cabin was clean and in good order. But the best part was the view from the back deck. How nice to look out over the water in the morning and watch the sun rise plus have so many different birds fly by. Complimentary canoes and bicycles also were such a nice addition. If you like quiet you'll love this place. Plus the lady in the office gave us such good advice as to what boat tours to take and we were especially satifsfied with that. We would definately stay here again.

Relaxing stay on the river
Comfortable one-night stay while visiting the Everglades. Really loved the screened-in porch overlooking the river, particularly in the evening and when having my morning coffee. Free use of canoes was a plus. The location is convenient for boat tours of the Everglades or for those who enjoy fishing (private dock with fish-cleaning area). Cooking facilities are included and there are several restaurant options are nearby.

A lovely, quiet, peacefully uncrowded town.
The other occupants were quiet and respectful. The staff is wonderful !
The villa was very accommodating with everything we needed (except a measuring cup) 🙃. We enjoyed our stay SO much and wished we could have stayed longer.

Not a complaint, just a comment...
This place is nowhere near "wilderness", so don't think you'll be staying out in the middle of nowhere. It's in the middle of town, a few hundred yards from the traffic circle.
That said, It's quiet and we very much enjoyed our stay there. If we find ourselves in the area again, we'll stay here.

Spacious cabins with easy check in and check out. Came for a night to do an airboat tour. Not many food choices in the off season and store across street does not have ice cream or a gift shop as large sign states. Bring bug spray in summer months. Cool to see alligators out back door.

Beautiful clean comfortable room with a beautiful view. I was not able to make phone contact close to closing time to let them know I would be late. I got email instructions about their after hours system after I already arrived. None of this is a big deal, but a text message near closing time would have been good.

Overpriced, sticky and outdated
The cabin was spacious with a nice riverfront view& porch.
Cabin was nicely furnished. Bedding comfortable. All needed extra bedding& complimentary toiletry items were supplied.
Plumbing worked but looked ancient as well as the overall cabin. Our main concern was in reference to the table, doorframes& refrigerator door all very sticky. A good scrub- down seemed well past-due. Very over priced for what we received.

NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED AT ALL
Such a deceiving description. Filthy floors, rusted appliances in the kitchen, rusted shower, and a pullout couch that is so worn and uncomfortable that there was no support to block the bars coming through making it an impossibility to sleep, and my daughter ended up sleeping in the chair for two nights. Did attempt to contact management but as usual, no one there. Sent three emails to manager and to date have received no response. All we wanted was to have discussed the problems with them before making a negative comment on this Hotels.com. Pool is not on the property as described, but is down the street. I am noticing a wide amount of positive comments and don't believe their validity one bit. Have seen manager respond to negative comments with a spiteful and condescending answer so I am anticipating she will do the same with me. Book elsewhere do not book here. You will be very disappointed. The only reason I gave a one is because the pelicans are nice to watch on the water. Never had I stayed in a place so gross yet so expensive.
