Sebring Florida Best Kept Secret "Cracker Hammock Log Cabin"

Come enjoy our Cedar Log Cabin located in Sebring, Florida. It is the perfect place to kickback, relax and get away from it all. Go on a hike through a winding private path and back wood trail with seasonal running creek beds. Relax in front of a roaring fire-ring while roasting marshmallows or just sit back and listen to true nature. Enjoy a charming landscape of “Old Florida” or just gaze in wonder at the stars filled night sky. There is simply no better way to relax and unwind. Year after year families come to Cracker Hammock Cabin to do just that. They come to rediscover the things that bring true satisfaction with family, friends and love ones. Within this hidden treasure surrounded by nature you will escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary.

If you are looking to revive quality time with family, gather with friends or get away to rekindle a romance then you have found the perfect place. There are many opportunities to break away from the daily grind. Whether it is family game night, hiking and/or biking at Highland State Park located just 3 miles away or fishing in any of the near by lakes. In the summer you can watch or photograph the fireflies as they float through the woods and observe or hear the wild turkeys, owls, herons, egrets and many other birds species. You’ll run into deers, land turtles, rabbits and squirrels but absolutely "NO HUNTING or SHOOTING ALLOWED". In the winter there is no better place than cuddled up in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine, a deck of cards and good company.

Cracker Hammock Cabin has 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a large porch to sit back and enjoy your morning coffee. This western cedar cabin nestled among old growth hardwood trees and grand oaks has a total area of approximately 3,000 sq. ft. Remodeled in 2016, this dwelling can sleep 13 people comfortably on beds. Centrally located approximately 1 hour from the Gulf Coast area of Bradenton/Fort Pierce on the Atlantic and the major Disney/Central Florida attractions of Orlando. It is hidden just 5 ½ miles west of Hwy 27 on State Road 66. The downtown of Sebring is only a 15-minute drive and you’ll find plenty of local and franchise restaurants, shopping centers and a great mall for all your convenience needs.

Women's Retreat
We had a group of 9 women to spend time in nature and enjoy each other's company. We found the property to be perfect as it was very private, spacial and lots of wildlife. It's close to Highlands Hammock State Park and conveinent to get to stores but feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. I highly recommend it to nature lovers!

Great family get together spot.
Perfect for that family reunion. Sleeps plenty and is extremely comfortable. My only little negative is you hear everything in the house. It’s rustic for sure so no sound insulation whatsoever. So enjoy the outdoors, mosquitoes weren’t bad and it stayed cool under the huge oaks.

Please update the pictures.
I loved the weather, the trees, and the quiet. The property was beautiful, the house clean and comfortable. However there were a few things that I would change. The covered area seems to be a little more weathered in real life than in the pictures and the bathroom with the tub doesn’t let people know that it has an exterior entrance. Outside of that, I appreciated it and would stay again. The owner was very kind and check in was a breeze.

Authentic Florida Retreat
13 of my closest buddies piled in for a Groomsmen retreat / Team off site for our non profit org (Not a bachelor party). Absolutely loved this property. Hung out at the pole barn, perfect fire pit and the basketball hoop in the sand was super cool. 15 mins from town wasn't too bad but being ducked off in real Florida was exactly what we wanted. We drove an hour to take an airboat tour on peace river which was sick. Would highly reccomend!

If bugs and nature freak you out this isn’t the place for you. However we enjoyed the cabin very much. Clean, charming & slept all 13 of us. Outdoor poke barn activities were fun. Only draw back was no ice or way to make ice.

Absolutely Perfect
This property is utterly AMAZING!!! originally it was booked to house the heads of my husband’s company, but was not ideal for where and what they would be doing on a daily basis this trip, especially bc none of them are from Florida and we wanted it to try and keep it as easy and stress free for them as possible. With that said we chose to bring our family and kids with us for this work week adventure instead. It was the best idea!! This home is amazing! My daughter referenced the interior design of the house "like being decorated by Disney, and 1000% more amazing than the Wilderness Cabins only w/o the golf carts...lol" (it used to be their favorite place.) the farm bathrooms were honestly Beautiful! the property is the perfect place to really go spend time with the family and not be distracted from each other. With that said, it is not the place for a group that does not enjoy the outdoors, solitude of nature, peace, quiet, family and have someone in the group to cook...lol Stock up before you go on food and snacks. There are no quick trips to grocery or fast food, that are quick, but that was part of the awesomeness... my kids didn’t even complain once about not being or having any electronic devices. Yes, there is WIFI, but who needs it there (unless working) It’s a place I felt completely safe letting my kids run around playing hide and seek with my adult sister well into the night/early morning without worry of disturbing people or people around our kids. (That is a huge concern these days) there are too many good things to put in one review. the only 2 things I would change about this super amazing house, property, and pole barn/game, play/ family perfect place, would be curtains in the bedrooms, an extra opener for the access gate. People with more than one vehicle will struggle to coordinate being able to get in or out of the property (it was so hard navigating the entrance road if more than one person needed to leave, we got creative) (my sister, her husband, their twins with our kids, and my husband and I were coming and going at all hours, but even with that I would not change a thing… It was part of what makes this place so special. We will be back and next time it will not be coordinated with any work!!!!

Spiritual Getaway
This place is totally isolated from everyday life and yet it's less than 15 minutes to Sebring. It is quiet, surrounded by trees and filled with wildlife - we saw deer and had armadillos scampering around. The inside was spotless and everything we needed was there. We were able to get away without reminders of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The inside, amenities and the surrounding area was exactly what we were looking for. Betsy was easy to communicate with and prompt when we submitted questions. Very happy with our choice.

A Beautiful Home to Disconnect
Our family enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful stay at this beautiful cabin. Being able to disconnect from the outside world was amazing. The inside is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The bathrooms are clean and comfortable to use. Towels were plentiful and the beds were super comfortable. WiFi worked well for all 7 of us. We loved spending time at the pole barn - playing pool, ping pong or darts. We shot some hoops at the sand basketball court. We sat around the bonfire pit and roasted marshmallows. We used the charcoal grill to make several meals. The tree swing provided hours of entertainment for our younger family members. We even took a stroll to spot some animals - a family of deer, cows, and armadillos to name a few. Betsy was very responsive and informational before, during and after our visit. It’s was exactly what we were looking for and it lived up and exceeded our expectations!

Can’t wait to go back
We’re all already talking about when we can go back! We got so lucky with the weather for April (low 50s in Florida?!) and we enjoyed being able to sit outside by the fire immensely. We had no issues while we were there with the property itself and you can tell it’s well taken care of. It was a great weekend full of decompressing from reality and we all couldn’t recommend it enough!

We've stayed in many rental properties in the Sebring / Lake Placid area, since we are a group of race officials who work at Sebring Raceway every March. We all agreed that this place is so much more interesting than the standard rental house. Can't wait to stay here again!

Home away from home
This property was sooooo amazing! It’s a get away from life place! We were able to disconnect with the every day life and focus on the people around us! There was tv upstairs for the nighttime movies and sooo many on site activities. Basketball hoop, pool table, ping pong table, a swing and a hammock were just a few things we enjoyed. The kids had a blast too! Took the iPads away and they never even noticed! There was just much to enjoy. I can’t say enough nice things about this property. You can tell the Betsy really cares about her home and it was lovely inside and out.

Beautiful outside
The outside more then exceeded my expectations..it so far from the road you don't hear traffic..except for the few vehicles that drive by that live on the road.. the inside was nice. A little tight and weird for 12 adults that aren't related. We had a second house for 4 days so was able to get the guests down to 10 witch was perfect for place ..but some of us are larger then the average bear ...but if it was for a couple familys the 13 it says its rated for would be just fine.... Also bring your own propane tanks they don't pervide for outside cooking area.

Wonderful oasis in Sebring!
We were in the area for a driving event at Sebring, and it was wonderful to come back to the cabin after a long day in the race car. Each of us noted how serene and quiet the property is, truly the definition of peaceful rest.

Perfect for us!!
We were in town to celebrate my grandfathers 90th birthday! The outdoor space was amazing! The fire ring was nice, the outdoor bar area was perfect! The pool table and ping pong table and outdoor tv kept everyone entertained, too! The cabin itself was nice! Loved all the decor. The door system was odd with all the deadbolt locks. Made us a little nervous in case of fire. The one bathroom is in a screened in porch area, which I'm sure if fine most of the time, but during our stay it got down in the 40s. The location is nice, you can get to either coast in an hour or so. Lots of great things to do near by.

Amazing trip, great location, plenty to do on property. With the exception of going to the grocery store, we didn’t leave the property the whole time. We had kids, ages 1-8, and they had plenty to do on property, as did the adults. Great family memories were made.
