About this property

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.

Welcome Respite

My family has been meeting at the cabin for nearly 5 years now, the property offers a welcome retreat from urban areas and have several opportunities for different members of a party to relax. There are two communal areas in the house, a small tea house by a pond, a pole barn with games and a large semi-wrap around porch to sit on.

Magical place

This was our 3rd time staying at Cracker Hammock! We absolutely love this place… The property is nestled in the woods. We sat around the fire pit and roasted s’mores nightly… the outdoor pool table and ping pong table is the best for the kids… can’t wait to return next year!

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!

Secluded and Relaxing

The cabin was very clean and comfortable and in very good condition. We met owner's father who lives down the road when we were preparing to leave and he was very friendly. Very secluded even though you are only minutes away from town. Our family enjoyed our stay at the cabin.

Beautiful cabin with a large lot. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect and just enjoy being outdoors and letting the kids run and play outside, this is the place.

Wow! What a great place to stay!

The Cracker Hammock cabin exceeded our expectations (which were already high based on the pictures). It is a beautiful property. The cabin itself is great and the outdoor entertainment areas are fantastic. We had a great time and will definitely try to stay there the next time we are in Sebring! The owner Betsy was great to deal with as well. Definitely deserving of 5 stars!

Wonderful trip to Cracker Hammock Log Cabin

My sisters and I spent five days enjoying the property at Cracker Hammock Log Cabin. We saw so much wildlife in the area including deer, wild pigs, cows, owls and Sandhills cranes and so much more. We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the birds and squirrels running all over the heavily wooded lot. Hope to be able to visit again.

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. The hostess with the mostess a well, she was prompt to answer questions we had prior to arrival and everything we expected to have on-site was present. We look forward to staying again in the future!

The pictures do not do this place justice. The property was beautiful, peaceful & everyone had a blast. The outdoor area was so much fun. We were in town for a wedding, so we didn't spend that much time at the property, but we are planning to come back when we have more time.

About the host

Hosted by Betsy Duran

Host profile image
Our family has visited friends in central Florida for over a decade now and has found that Sebring is just the place for our friends & family retreats; starting with the landscape
"OLD FLORIDA" at it's finest. The city of Sebring is just 15 minutes away with plenty of local & franchise restaurants, shopping centers & a great mall for all your convience needs.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful Cedar Log Cabin nestled in "OLD Florida Landscape" with Grandfather Oaks, Florida pines, Cypress trees and the pasture trail to the lily pond. Enjoy the view of the grass fed cows and horses provides that ranch experience. The rest of the property is kept in as natural condition as possible to encourage wildlife and offers great opportunities for nature photography "NO HUNTING or SHOOTING ALLOWED". We live in South Florida and this is our escape when we need unwinding, relaxing and family time. It also helps to remind us how beautiful Florida's nature is.

What makes this property unique

Where else are you going to find a property nestled in this peaceful country setting surrounded by hundreds of acres of "Old Florida Land" with a gated and private road to the property offering abundance of wildlife for site seeing and photographing but absolutely "NO HUNTING or SHOOTING ALLOWED". Perfect for reunion retreats, with large gathering areas, picnic tables and outdoor grill.
