“Great location that is somewhat remote and quiet. Plenty of places to buy what you need, eat out, etc., within a ten minute drive. Swimming pool and laundry facilities, even though we did not use them. They seem to cater to an adult crowd, a plus for us. This place is perfect if you want to be close to the Tampa/Bradenton area without being in the crowds and traffic all of the time.” Read more

The cottage was very spacious and had everything I needed for my stay and more, like toiletries and pool towels. The bed linen is the softest I have ever slept in , it was really really lovely and the free bag of ice each day was a lovely touch too.” Read more

“The owners and staff are awesome....Very welcoming and accommodating. The cottage is very clean, the grounds are well kept and it’s such a peaceful place. The view of the river and sunset each day was an added bonus to such a beautifully hidden gem. ”

“This is a great find. 16 cottages on the Manatee River with fishing, kayak, or canoe. So peaceful to sit on the sweet seating arrangements and relax. People were so nice. Few rooms are being remodeled from flooding from Hurricane Etta but our room was fixed up beautifully. A br, living room, and full kitchen with everything you need to cook. Heated pool with waterfall. The entrance through a senior trailer park, was a little disconcerting, but as you got to the resort, it is a sweet place! ” Read more

“This was so not what I expected. It was beyond perfect. It was like being on an island that no one knew about. It was quite, clean and beautiful. Tammy and Tom were so very nice. You can tell they take pride in their property and work very hard. We will definitely come back. It was just me and my 10 year old grandaughter she was content in just hanging out in our little cottage and going to the pool. I wish I had rented for more days. Thank you so much Vickie and Olivia ” Read more

“Docks, fishing, kayaking, pool. Everything you need right there.”

“I needed a place to stay/relax for a couple nights •Stay-cation”. I had never heard of the lodging area, and although surrounded by a mobile homes, I was pleasantly surprised by the cottage itself and the small family friendly pool, children’s bikes 🚲 and access to the water to canoe or kayak. It had a good size kitchen which was definitely needed to save money by bringing our own food. The staff were so sweet and upon arrival and departure, made my child and I feel special.” Read more
