Home
Horse Creek Retreat Is Open
Hurricane Ian did considerable damage
But we are Florida Strong
The storm surge sent 15 feet of water destroyed everything
But with the help of compassionate family, friends and even strangers who became friends, we are back, and ready to welcome guests again.
Experience Old Florida
At Horse Creek Retreat, you will find your retreat back to old Florida living. 10+ acres of pristine waterfront campground awaits. With several different accommodation styles, we are sure to not only have the amenities to please the whole family, but the activities that await are what is truly special. Whether you’re looking for a simple weekend getaway, or a fun filled “Old Florida” adventure, we’ve got you covered!
Our animals are one of the best features of Horse Creek Retreat. Fun for the whole family and a wonderful way to experience our love of nature. From the minute you arrive until the end of your stay, our animals are just one part of the adventure. We have goats, chickens, ducks and even some new rabbits. All of our animals have been rescued and raised from birth.
We have several kayaks and canoes available on site for your enjoyment. Please try to indicate upon booking if you intend to use them so we can ensure there are enough available during your stay. Safety gear is available on site as well.
Marc and Meagan were fantastic hosts! This property is a gem and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. The cabin was super clean and cozy. We brought our kayaks but there were several available for guests. Both paddle trips were great (and lazy) with lots of wildlife to be seen. We also hung out by the water just relaxing. Our daughter had a great time petting the goats (and wanted to bring one home). We had a wonderul, relaxing and lazy weekend and totally recommend staying here.

What a gem!! I cannot express how much I just fell in love with this stay! Marc and Meagan are excellent hosts, and the property is a fisherman’s paradise! The cottage was so cozy, clean, well stocked and right on the water! Close to plenty of shopping and dining but, also very secluded and quiet. Kayaks, a really nice boat ramp, fire ring, bbq grill, and all the fish you want to catch right off the bank or floating dock! Just a very short boat ride down the creek and you are on the beautiful Peace river! Fossil hunting, kayaking, fishing, or just relaxing I highly recommend this stay!
