A lovely, quiet, peacefully uncrowded town.
The other occupants were quiet and respectful. The staff is wonderful !
The villa was very accommodating with everything we needed (except a measuring cup) 🙃. We enjoyed our stay SO much and wished we could have stayed longer.

Relaxing stay on the river
Comfortable one-night stay while visiting the Everglades. Really loved the screened-in porch overlooking the river, particularly in the evening and when having my morning coffee. Free use of canoes was a plus. The location is convenient for boat tours of the Everglades or for those who enjoy fishing (private dock with fish-cleaning area). Cooking facilities are included and there are several restaurant options are nearby.

Not a complaint, just a comment...
This place is nowhere near "wilderness", so don't think you'll be staying out in the middle of nowhere. It's in the middle of town, a few hundred yards from the traffic circle.
That said, It's quiet and we very much enjoyed our stay there. If we find ourselves in the area again, we'll stay here.

Beautiful clean comfortable room with a beautiful view. I was not able to make phone contact close to closing time to let them know I would be late. I got email instructions about their after hours system after I already arrived. None of this is a big deal, but a text message near closing time would have been good.

Riverview cottages
Wonderful place to stay! Loved the enclosed deck to sit and have a meal and watch the wildlife and river. Could use a couple more staples like salt and pepper. But all in all a great place to stay!

Spacious cabins with easy check in and check out. Came for a night to do an airboat tour. Not many food choices in the off season and store across street does not have ice cream or a gift shop as large sign states. Bring bug spray in summer months. Cool to see alligators out back door.

If you are looking for a small hometown feel. Just to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There is not one single thing in this town or at River Wilderness that will disappoint. We will definitely be going back if we could leave tomorrow and we just got back we would go!

Relaxing Everglades base
We had a great 3x nights stay here - initial feeling is that is it a bit old school, but this adds to the charm of the place. We made use of the fishing poles to fish off the communal dock (you can buy bait across the road / next door) - as novices we still caught lots of catfish, snapper and crabs. There a number of laid back restaurants in town, most close by 8pm. Porch was great for breakfast as the sun rises - also grabbed a hearty breakfast from Nely’s Corner at the EFC across the street.
