River Wilderness Waterfront Cabins

Wow, what a location, right on the Everglades water with gators casually swimming by! River Wilderness is a small group of wooden units which have been really nicely fitted inside and were well cleaned. We only had a one night stay so were happy getting a pizza from the store down the road and just sitting on the enclosed porch watching the wildlife. A really tranquil and comfortable stay, worth catching the sunrise from the porch!

This cabin surpassed my expectations given its location. The cabin was well-appointed and clean. Each cabin has a clear view of the water - we saw an alligator, shark and numerous birds and insects. The bedding was functional - quite a thin bottom sheet but it was clean. Within a short walk is a small local store and a pizzeria from which we had the best pizza of our holiday. The most enjoyable part of our stay was simply to sit and watch the changing scene before us as the hours ticked by.

Cute time share cabin with a great view. Some of the kitchen appliances were a little rusty but not too big of a deal as we were only there one night (it wasn't cheap so the rusty appliances was a bit of a surprise). They let you use their canoes for free which we did and that was super-fun. Everything else was great including the staff.

Enjoy the screened deck right off your dining area or the boat dock down a set of steps to relax and see wildlife. Convenient location with Island Cafe right across the street for breakfast. Accommodations aren't modern but there is a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and screened deck. The manager is friendly and even left me a birthday card!

It was our first trip to Everglades City and to this accommodation. The apartment had a great location by the water and the screened in porch was definitely the highlight of the stay, as we had hoped. The furnishings and rooms have seen a few years, so there were a few marks and scuffs, but the place was very clean, and the kitchen had a reasonable amount of equipment. The bed was comfy and the associated swimming pool just down the road was lovely, again right by the water. Check in and check out was friendly, quick and efficient. We really enjoyed being able to use the canoes they provide here. We'd certainly stay here again.

My buddy Eric and I have been fishing Choco water for many years. River Wilderness is always our first choice of places to stay. The rooms have really undergone a great transformation, clean and fresh. The convenience is the best! Put my boat right under our room, fresh water and power to charge batteries and flush engines. We love sitting on the porch enjoying the view with some music, a cigar and an adult beverage. HEAVEN! Jaye (the manager), is always so awesome and accommodating…treats us like family. She even invited us to where the locals go (Denise’s Tiki Bar) for good drinks and conversation. We have heated battles of “Ring Game” right at the dock behind the bar and make new friends. Once you go out and catch your fish, take them to Camilla’s for dinner. They cook them to order and add all the fixing for a really fair price…..Camilla’s is the best dinner option in Everglade City. Island Cafe is best for Breakfast. I could go on and on, but you’ll find out for yourself. Just go and be ready to relax. JM
