Herons Riverhouse at Coochee Hammock is a well-appointed two-story home perched among giant oaks and cypress on 40-acres along the Withlacoochee River. This comfortable retreat is perfect for exploring, kayaking, fishing, birdwatching, stargazing, or just snuggling up to the fire.
The property includes its own private 'island' among the cypress knees and sandy shore of an incredibly scenic vista. A small bridge accesses the island for an exclusive birding, fishing, or picnic experience.
Relax in the hammock swing or ride the forest trails. Nearby Withlacoochee State Trail and State Forest offer full days of cycling or hiking opportunities on pavement or dirt. Canoe, kayak, and bicycles on premises.
Fully equipped kitchen presents the freedom to enjoy a gourmet meal with a sunset view over the River.
Nearby Dade City offers all conveniences with old Florida charm. Visit the antique shops, 50s-era luncheonette, farm to table restaurants, or even the throwback drive-in movie theater.
Two bedrooms (one king and one queen) and two full baths provide plenty of storage and comfort. Two additional airbeds provide comfort for a family of 6.
This nature getaway is located off Highway 50 about an hour from Orlando or Tampa. The front gate is less than a mile off the pavement. Low clearance vehicles are not recommended. A small SUV will do fine. There is covered parking for two vehicles with a short walk and one flight of stairs up to the residence.
