Sit on the dock and watch amazing sunsets, then enjoy a cozy evening in front of the wood-burning fireplace. Go hiking, canoeing, fishing, birdwatching in the Ocala National Forest, and then have dinner prepared in the gorgeous, fully-equipped cedar kitchen. Crafted from all-local wood, the cabin features cypress floors, knotty sand-pine walls and ceilings, cedar doors and trim. Spacious great room and open kitchen facing Big Grasshopper Lake. Bedroom features Sealy Posturepedic King Size bed with rustic cedar headboard. Totally secluded - built on an old in-holding that was privately owned when the Ocala National Forest was created, this property is part of a 40 acre parcel that remained private when the ONF was created around it. Our cabin sits on a corner of the parcel, surrounded on two sides by the ONF. It is the ONLY house on an extensive chain of lakes that offer incredible recreation and wildlife viewing opportunities. Totally rustic, yet with all the amenities - fully equipped kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, disposal, washer and dryer, TV and home theater in living room and bedroom, ceiling fans, screened porch. Only 50 miles from Orlando, and 40 miles from Daytona Beach. Use it as your base to explore all that Central Florida has to offer, or come and recharge your batteries in the serene wilderness. Other things to note: The dirt road in to the cabin is a relatively poorly maintained Forest Service Road. At times it can be a bit rough – as in ruts, potholes, and rises and drops that would be difficult for a low slung car. If there is substantial rain, some of the larger dips in the road will fill with water, and can be 6-8” deep for 10 feet or so. As a result, we recommend that you leave your Porsche at home, and take the SUV, Pickup Truck, or Van for this adventure. If you have no such option available, let us know, and ask for an update on the current road conditions. Grasshopper Lodge is a great place to bring your well-behaved dog or cat. Please let us know something about your pet (breed, size, etc) before you book. Please note that there is a $50 fee per pet per stay that is payable on arrival. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No elevator (single-level property) - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Phone ### Location highlights - On a lake ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104960000/104956800/104956791/11545a31.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Royal Floridian South by Spinnaker Ormond Beach Main Street - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.4 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-20&endDate=2026-03-21&selected=104956791&PinnedHotelID=104956791&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107730000/107728000/107727939/99c020c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Lodge at Runaway Bay Seville - Spa - Pet friendly - Parking included - Breakfast available CA $126 CA $203 total includes taxes & fees Mar 9 - Mar 10 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-09&endDate=2026-03-10&selected=107727939&PinnedHotelID=107727939&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Garden](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95900000/95899200/95899142/bfad4ef9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### VICTORIA 1883 Canal Street Historic District - Breakfast included - Pet friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 34 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-20&endDate=2026-03-21&selected=95899142&PinnedHotelID=95899142&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93210000/93205000/93204958/f15af872.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Canalfront Retreat w/ Double Boat Slip!
