Matilda the RV: Charming 5 Acre Retreat with Beautiful Gazebo, Garden & Chickens

Experience the charm of "Matilda," a beautifully renovated 5th-wheel RV with one bedroom and bathroom. This cozy, farmhouse-chic retreat offers a pizza oven, Blackstone griddle, gazebo, pond overlook, and a beautiful garden with chickens all set on 5 peaceful acres known as Deer Haven Hacienda. It's just a short walk to Lake Harney Wilderness Area and trails. Perfect for nature lovers, yet only 1 hour from Orlando’s top theme parks and attractions. Your unforgettable glamping getaway awaits!

The maximum capacity of the home is 4 people. The bedroom features a queen-size bed, a smart TV, and ample storage with a closet and drawers. The full bathroom, with a walk-in shower, is conveniently connected to the bedroom.

The kitchen is equipped with a stove, oven, and refrigerator/freezer, as well as essential appliances like a Keurig, microwave, and toaster. The sofa can be converted into a queen bed, accommodating two additional guests. An electric fireplace adds warmth and coziness on colder nights, and the family room also includes a smart TV.

Outside, you'll find a covered patio with a table, which can be enclosed with a sliding screen to keep mosquitos out. For outdoor cooking, there's a covered Blackstone Griddle, along with a pizza oven.

There are farm fresh eggs from our chickens, herbs and fruit trees along with a butterfly garden that the guests are welcome to use and enjoy. There will be fresh eggs in the refrigerator upon arrival. Any additional eggs throughout your stay will be found in a covered container near the chicken coop which you can use. Please make sure the egg container is closed to prevent any animals getting to them.

There is another listing on the property that is approximately 50 yards away and is far enough to maintain privacy. The garden and chicken coop may be visited by the renters of the other listing. The owner will be on the property every 2 days to take care of the chickens and maintain the lawn and plants as needed.

If there are any issues or concerns about access or if something is not working, please notify the host so we can assist. We want you to have a relaxing experience.

The place was perfect, even better than advertised! Really clean, very well stocked and in a beautiful setting. I would stay here again and I definitely recommend the place if you’re in the fence.
