Our newly remodeled (2023) entertainment lodge offers a spacious kitchen fully stocked with kitchen supplies, spices and a stocked coffee bar with a Ninja Duel Brew Pro coffee maker. The living area has reclining sofa couches and a 42″ flatscreen tv equipped with Direct TV, which includes the entertainment package (outdoor and sports channels.) The dining area features our custom made, 12′ monkey wood table that seats 12 people. For family and adult fun there is a pool table, dart board and two Big Buck Hunter arcade games. Outside the back door we have a covered porch, corn hole, ring game, a large Blackstone grill, picnic tables and a fire pit. Central heating and air. No smoking or pets allowed. We are family-friendly and encourage you to have your kids join in on your adventure with us.
Make sure to bring your camera along. Upon request, in between hunts, your guide can bring you around the preserve to search for the variety of animals we have to offer. This adventure is included in your stay, so there is no extra charge, but tips are always appreciated for your guide.
Wake up with coffee on the full front porch swaying on the rocking chairs listening to the birds singing and spotting the deer in the woods. Enjoy lunch or dinner outside at the picnic tables. Bring your fishing poles for catch and release fishing in any of our three ponds stocked with Black Crappie, Catfish and Largemouth Bass. Then relax and share your stories around the fire pit with a cool beverage.
Located in Cross City, Florida, we are a year round destination.

Our high-fenced property has hundreds of acres of the “Old Florida feel” with hardwoods, cabbage hammocks, oak hammocks & some planted pine. A unique ecosystem called pumpkin swamp is on this property. It is one of the most unique ecosystems in Florida which is why there is as much wild game as there is here. The culture of the surrounding area is unique & deeply vested in hunting. One can see why the State of Florida has acquired many acres of land like Woods To Water Preserve in this area to protect and preserve for future generations. This is some of the last great places not yet owned by the state or national parks.
