Heart’s Cottage on the Bayou

Heart's Cottage: A Comfortable Riverside Lodging

Heart’s Cottage on the Bayou is a comfortable guest house for adults on a beautiful stretch of Big Cypress Bayou, not far from Big Pines Lodge. From the riverside porch of the cottage, you can watch the water, relax, and feel the world fade away. Like to fish? Bring your tackle, and catch dinner from the dock. If you’d prefer that someone else catch your dinner, bring a boat and cruise to the nearby restaurant, tie up while you dine, then cruise back to your own cottage on the water. It’s your perfect vacation retreat! Heart’s Cottage sleeps up to 7 guests, and is pet-friendly.No guests under 16 year of age, please. 

Because the deep waters of the Bayou run beside the Cottage and boat traffic can be busy, we do not provide kayaks or canoes for guests, though you are welcome to bring your own. There are providers in the area; see our 'links' page.
