The natural wildlife population on the property includes several species of birds such as cranes, hawks, woodpeckers, as well as the endangered gopher tortoise - keep an eye peeled for these beautiful creatures!
Additionally, you'll be sharing the farm with adorable farm-raised animals! Make friends with the goats, chickens, and cattle - your dog might also make friends with the farm dog, Shumba. For a small extra fee, experience a 'cow cuddling' session and snap a few photos of your kids with the cute cows.
Meanwhile, fishing enthusiasts will definitely want to bring their poles and cast their lines in either of the 2 quaint fishing ponds. A short walking/biking trail weaves throughout the property, offering another fun outdoor activity!
Seek shade in 2,800 square feet of highly-appointed, air conditioned living space. Admire the custom-built knotted pine cabin's interior decor, featuring rustic pinewood in traditional cabin-like structure. Lounge in the living area, with high tongue and groove slanted ceilings creating an open and inviting ambiance. Start the wood-burning fireplace and turn on the flat-screen cable TV to make the space extra cozy!
The fully equipped kitchen is outfitted with updated stainless steel appliances - including a double oven/stovetop and microwave - ample kitchenware, and stacked high-end laundry machines. Whip up your family's favorite meal and enjoy a feast on the screened-in porch while savoring the sounds of nature and fresh Florida breeze! Host more formal dinners at the elegant 8-person dining table in the flagstone-furnished sunroom.
-- THE LOCATION --
Situated right in the heart of central Florida, 'Ranchero Log Cabin' is located in peaceful rural area about 15 minutes southeast of downtown Sebring.

After a day in the sun, grab a happy hour drink at Dimitri's 5o'clock Somewhere Bar, just a block from the shore. Enjoy a casual meal out at the popular and charming Sebring Diner, or opt for something fancier and prime al fresco dining at Faded Bistro & Beer Garden.
