Great Weekend with Friends

My friends had a great stay at The Lodge. The host was very responsive and was quick to act with any issues and kept on great communication. The Sante Fe is really beautiful and a great place to swim and do some paddling

Perfect Relaxing Family Getaway

We had a great time at the Big Cypress Lodge! Our family really enjoyed the quiet and beauty of the property. Playing in the river was a big hit with the kids, and the fenced-in yard was great for the little ones!The house was really comfortable, and the open floor plan was great so everyone could be together.There are so many things to do in the area, too, that we had more than enough options for fun activies.

Good stay until we saw roaches

We had a great time. It fit our family perfectly. It would be a 5 star review except for the fact there was an infestation of German roaches.

Great Property!

This home was just as listed. Plenty of space and things to do. Unfortunately the river flooded days before we arrived but it did not stop us from enjoying the property. We couldn’t kayak but that was not a deal breaker. The host was very transparent and accommodating. I look forward to visiting again so that I can experience the river more!

Great weekend trip

Very comfortable stay for a family (8 adults, 1 child) weekend trip. I was pleasantly suprised with how clean the property was and the accommodations provided. Plenty to do (air hockey was a hit, hot tub, kayaks, tubes) AND great cooking equipment. There was even a bbq smoker present. The river was spectacular and there were so many places to sit and enjoy the view. I would absolutely rent here again. Thanks Teresa for a wonderful, much needed, family vacation.

It was great for five, but with two toilets and one working shower, it really can’t accommodate 14. Jacuzzi over the river was great. Some updated linens would be an easy upgrade. There was no dishwasher detergent or laundry soap. Location was ideal.
