Other things to note

Extra $175 fee to bring a pet per animal and we must know ahead of time to charge accordingly. Located on a natural Florida creek and on our ranch. There are Alligators, bugs, and snakes around.

No need to be afraid, they won't bother you. :)

The Perfect Secluded Getaway

We booked this property as a place to stay for a 3 day fishing trip to Crescent Lake. There were 8 guys and this place was exactly what we were looking for. Very secluded with no neighbors and just the sounds of wildlife at night. We loved the fishing dock on the creek and utilized it on several days. We actually left the lake early on our last day just to come back and relax at the lodge. It's definitely not a Ritz Carlton, but we gladly traded those amenities for a secluded, rustic, and peaceful experience. If you are looking for the perfect wilderness getaway - look no further. This place has it all and was amazing.

Quiet and peaceful get away

We were wanting a place to rest and relax and we definitely found those qualities here. We enjoyed fishing off of the dock and relaxing on the swing. Brittany was very accommodating and helpful with anything that we needed. Thank you for sharing this special place with us. We would love to return again soon.

March Stay

Great place for a rustic ( appears to be a working hunt camp) getaway. If using as homebase, be aware road in is not bad, but dusty. I was puling a boat and found out quick to put on cover. Other than that, outside is roomy, pics do not do creek (with small ramp) justice and no support issues. Great Stay.

Remote and Quiet

This was the second time I stayed at the lodge. While I had a good stay there was some deterioration in the facilities and cleanliness. Particularly the silverware is dirty and needs replacement and the water is not potable requiring bottled water for cooking and drinking.

Christmas visit

We absolutely loved the property. It was too chilly to get in the canoes but we plan on returning soon. Brittany was great! This is very secluded and private. Next trip we plan on hog hunting- which will be my first time. My fiancé and his family hunt annually on a boys trip! Highly recommend this place.

Everything we hoped for…and more

Brittney is a fantastic host who is quick to respond to my multitude of questions from the very beginning when the family was planning our vacation to our checkout day. If you are looking for seclusion but also want beach and theme park time, then this is the place for you. 30 minutes to Flagler Beach and 2 hours to Disney World. Fishing off the private dock was an every day occurrence, as was quality family time. Thanks Brittney for opening your lodge to the public to allow us the opportunity to rent from you. Certainly hoping to do it again!!

The most relaxing vacation of my life!

I hardly ever review anything but have been thinking about writing this review since the day we arrived! it’s very rare that you read all these positive reviews and then the place or product lives up to the hype. In this case, the reviews were dead on! I took a five night vacation with my son to get away and reconnect, I could not think of one thing that I would change. I will say the pictures on the site do not do the place justice. It is possibly one of the most quiet and relaxing vacations I’ve ever had. The house is fantastic, kitchen has all you need. There are TV’s in all but one of the five bedrooms, and they get plenty of channels. There is a nice size TV in the living room and a washer dryer, internet, everything! The beds are comfortable, plenty of towels…just a great place! But the star of the show is the property. It is set back on the dirt road (that’s in great shape) and yes…we were greeted by a few cows on the way! When you get to the house it’s serenity. The deck over the river is an amazing place to start your day and end it. You can hear nature around you, it’s so peaceful that on the 3rd day when a plane flew over we were both asking, what was that! I am really amazed at how peaceful it was, it really is a rare find! The final touch is the owners themselves. We got to meet my them quickly and the one or two times we had a question they got right back to us. Brittany is amazing! They really just want you to enjoy your stay and leave you to yourselves. Did I mention that it’s so peaceful?!

Best of Both Worlds

Picked this location for a family vacation. It was perfect. We had a great host that gave us her cell number and said to call her if we needed anything. The Double C Ranch is a unique, quite, remote setting. Nice dock by Haw Creek, we saw an air boat one morning and kayakers another morning. We also made a drive to two different beaches. Navigating the long (almost 2 miles) private drive around the cows was a fun added attraction for the grand kids!!

Relaxation at its finest!

When my son and I entered the gate, we were pleasantly greeted by several cows on the road. It was really cool and exciting! Then as we approached the house, I was amazed at how much bigger the property looked in person. My first impression when I walked in the door was how clean everything smelled. Not only did the home smell clean, it was truly clean. Even the cutting boards, stored in a low, open cabinet, were free of all dust! We were unable to load our kayaks for the trip and really bummed about it, but Brittany saved us from boredom and allowed us to use the kayaks that were there. Haw Creek provided an easy paddle. The current was just enough for a gentle push in one way, but not enough to make a struggle back. We loved everything about the property and will most definitely return. Thank you, Brittany, for everything!

Quiet Florida Country Setting

This place was great. We was in FL for the Daytona 500 and some golf. This was way less expensive than hotels at the beach. It's about two miles of the road on a real cattle ranch. Met the owner on the way in and she was very nice. The house itself was great. It was only four of us so there was plenty of room with some to spare. We were in and out quite a bit and the ride to Palm Coast, Flagler Beach,Ormond Beach and Daytona were all 45 minutes or less away. It is really a beautiful setting and if you like to fish there's a great little dock you can fish from. If you're looking for a quiet getaway in FL I would highly recommend this ranch. Nobody bothered us and the folks we passed on the ranch were very friendly, even the cows. The house has everything you will need. It has wifi, satellite TV and a washer and dryer. It has everything for cooking indoors and out. If I go back for the Daytona 500 next year I will definitely want to stay there again. Thanks to Brittany for everything.

Total Relaxation

I just spent a week at CC lodge in Bunnell. The property was just as described, remote and beautiful! My dog Jake and I relaxed by the rivers edge, went for long walks, and enjoyed the plethora of wildlife that inhabits the area. In the evening we gazed up at a sky full of stars. All in all a fabulous week!

Wonderful Stay

This property was perfect for our yearly youth trip. Myself and another leader brought 10 teens from ages 12-17 and it was perfect for us 12. We enjoyed the dock, spent the day fishing, lounging and exploring the property. We also did outing to Marineland, Daytona Lagoon/Beach, and De Leon Springs. All within 50 minutes of the house. There is a per person fee after a certain number of guests so be sure to account for all guest when comparing prices. We had plenty of space and all 12 of us had a bed no need to sleep on the couch. ;) Brittany and Dalton were quick to answer any questions we had. We would definitely consider bringing our group back or a different group.

Very clean, accommodating, comfortable and secluded lodge for a relaxing getaway.

Had a great time at the lodge relaxing with family this past weekend. The lodge has everything you need to be able to enjoy yourself. Spent the weekend catching several different species of fish (large mouth Bass, Bowfin, crappie and catfish) right off the dock and spent the evenings sitting around the fire pit listening to music and creating memories. We will be booking again for sure!

Being outside and enjoying our walks, fishing, kayaking, fire pit, PEACE and watching the boys enjoy nature and not once ask about their phones was no surprise when you have the beauty that CC ranch has to offer.

Wonderful stay on Haw Creek

My wife and I had an absolute blast at the property. It was a great place to get away from it all in the woods. We saw lots of wildlife including deer, turkeys, owls and an otter. Haw creek was really flowing due to all the rain but was beautiful and a pleasure to paddle down. We also caught several hefty catfish off the dock. The hosts were great and really made us feel at home.
