For over 30 years we have worked and played in this unique place and we would like to share our backyard with you. Everglades City has a wonderful history and is an interesting little fishing village which will take you back in time to Old Florida. The Ivey House was the building used to house the workers building the Tamiami Trail and Mr. Ivey ran the Walking Dredge used to create the Trail.

The Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States and is made up of over 1.5 million acres of wild beauty. This untamed environment has been designated as a Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance. It boasts over 1,000 species of plants, over 40 species of mammals, over 360 species of birds, over 50 species of reptiles, and 4 species of venomous snakes!

Spend your vacation in our exceptional backyard!
