Escape to Serenity on Big Cypress River
The Lily Pad is a luxurious, pet friendly, waterfront cabin, that was completed in 2023 and is dedicated to family fun and relaxation!

Best VRBO ever!!
My wife and I have been renting VRBO house’s for over 20 years and we were so impressed with our stay. The house was stocked with everything you could ever need and there was instructions on how to use everything. Our host was the sweetest person, anything we asked she got back to us almost instantly. We rate this a 10 out of 5, we think it was the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had and highly recommend staying here.
Thanks for everything, we will be back.

A Perfect Place to Get Away!
This is a perfect place to get away and enjoy the peace and serenity on the water. This house is immaculately clean and they did not skimp on any detail. The beds are so comfortable that we actually stripped the one in the master bedroom to see what brand it was. We enjoyed waking up with a cup of coffee on the porch that over looks the water and fishing of the dock. We’ve talked about how great our trip was and how amazing the house was all week and will be back very soon!
