Relaxing Everglades base
We had a great 3x nights stay here - initial feeling is that is it a bit old school, but this adds to the charm of the place. We made use of the fishing poles to fish off the communal dock (you can buy bait across the road / next door) - as novices we still caught lots of catfish, snapper and crabs. There a number of laid back restaurants in town, most close by 8pm. Porch was great for breakfast as the sun rises - also grabbed a hearty breakfast from Nely’s Corner at the EFC across the street.
Kayak tour (available in town)

Wonderful place to stay! Loved the enclosed deck to sit and have a meal and watch the wildlife and river. Could use a couple more staples like salt and pepper. But all in all a great place to stay!

If you are looking for a small hometown feel. Just to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There is not one single thing in this town or at River Wilderness that will disappoint. We will definitely be going back if we could leave tomorrow and we just got back we would go!

Very misleading
Way overpriced for what you get. Media pictures show a pool on-site which is not. Was told on 2nd day of visit that several properties share a pool at another location. No housekeeping services during your stay. Went to get clean towels from office and no one there during posted office hours.

Cozy and quiet stay
Very relaxing stay in a comfortable, roomy, “cabin”. Especially enjoyed the proximity of the lake, as well as the nature in and around it! Also loved the restaurants right across the street. Free canoe rental with the room was too tempting to pass up! Would definitely stay here again, but next time bring fishing gear!

Very peaceful and relaxing! Unfortunately the beds were not. The kitchen stove was very old but everything worked. Would like to have had Kleenex in bathroom. Regarding the amenities, they neglect to tell you that the outdoor pool is located on ANOTHER property and we could not find it. Don't know about the on-site laundry.

I don't want to leave a good review because I want this to remain a Hidden Gem hahaha but seriously this place was amazing. Every unit is different. The majority of them have been updated. They are timeshare units and owned by individual owners. If you don't get a good bed in one unit that is not to say the next unit is not going to have a fantastic bed. Our bed was perfect. Very safe quiet property. Being on the water is fantastic plenty of wildlife action even alligators floating down. Within walking distance to restaurants and convenience store. We will be back again.

Cabin was quaint and very clean. Right on lake placid with dock for your boat or fishing. Everglades city itself is small and quiet with not many dining options but we were there for fishing and boating not to be entertained. The only thing disappointing was that the bed was very uncomfortable and I was unable to sleep.
