Secluded, cozy, and romantic hand-crafted rustic cabin rental in the Ocala National Forest

Welcome to Grasshopper Lodge

Nestled in the heart of the Ocala National Forest, Grasshopper Lodge is a secluded, hand-crafted rustic cabin designed for cozy, romantic getaways. Thoughtfully built with natural materials and warm wood finishes, the lodge offers a quiet escape from city life while remaining an easy drive from Orlando and all of central Florida. Curl up by the wood-burning stove, relax on the private porch with forest views, or stargaze in an unspoiled night sky. Perfect for couples seeking intimacy and simplicity, Grasshopper Lodge blends handcrafted charm with comfortable amenities for a memorable retreat.

Perched just steps from the shores of Big Grasshopper Lake, our cabin is your gateway to the Ocala National Forest. Spend your afternoons hiking, canoeing, or bird-watching, then head to the dock for a front-row seat to stunning Florida sunsets. End your day in the heart of the home—a beautiful, fully equipped cedar kitchen perfect for whipping up a gourmet meal. Bring some juicy steaks and sear them on the Weber grill.

Built from local woods: cypress floors, knotty sand-pine walls and ceilings, cedar doors and trim.

Completely private — on a 40-acre in-holding surrounded on two sides by the National Forest. The only house on a long chain of lakes with great recreation and wildlife.

Rustic feel with all of the modern comforts. About 50 miles from Orlando and 40 miles from Daytona Beach. Ideal for exploring Central Florida or relaxing in quiet wilderness.
