The LODGE @ Runaway Bay 1610 Lake George Road, Seville, FL 32190

"My dog Tally and I spent 4.5 days in this fantastic place during the New Year’s weekend. Many thanks to our hosts Kennedy and Christina. We are totally revitalized and so happy for the lack of fireworks for Tally’s sake. Assistant hosts Tom and teresa we’re so much fun to talk with and hang out with and their dog Max was a real pale Tally! The other guests were all really nice and friendly. I loved my cabin and enjoyed the amenities. Sunsets were magical and we did a great fire New Year’s Eve. This place is not for everyone but it’s awesome for us. I want to tell the whiners and social media cowards that karma will return the favors!"

"This location really is a hidden gem. My family has come here twice now and we are planning right now for the next visit. The sunsets here are absolutely amazing. We had the Jamaican jerk chicken cooked by Kennedy and the food was so good. Sitting outside listening to the water and fish jumping makes for a relaxing atmosphere. Excellent vibes and amazing company can be expected at this place I call paradise."

"The location is absolutely beautiful! My friends and I had a wonderful time at the resort enjoying the gorgeous views and cozy accommodations. As a bonus, the owners are incredibly kind and willing to help improve the experience whenever possible. I highly recommend a stay here!"

"The owners of Runaway Bay are super accommodating! We booked our stay through a travel website that mistakenly allowed us to reserve a room even though Runaway Bay was actually closed (and had been for a prolonged amount of time) and had never received our payment. One of the owners came as soon as he could to set up our room even though it was his day off. We were super grateful for that - many other hotels would never let someone stay in a room if they were closed and had received no payment. The owners are currently working with the travel site we used to figure everything out. As for our stay, Runaway Bay feels so much more comfortable and personable than a formal hotel. In the best way possible, it felt like a close friend's house. The lake was beautiful and stargazing at night was so refreshing. If you reserve a tent, keep in mind that you will be glamping. There's other reviews complaining about bugs, but honestly that's unfair. If you're uncomfortable with bugs and camping in the Florida heat, right in front of a lake, it's probably best to not reserve a tent. The indoor units looked very nice, and would be worth the extra money if bugs and hot weather make you uncomfortable. Also, the majority of the bugs are seasonal and don't bite, but unfortunately are unavoidable in the summer. All in all, Runaway Bay was amazing. If you're looking to rejuvenate yourself in nature with a gorgeous lakeside view and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, this place is for you!"

"My fiance and I stayed here for the weekend, in the water front yurt, for our anniversary. We usually do primitive camping, so this was the first time glamping for us. It was a much needed break. We absolutely loved it here! Such amazing views, quiet and amazing energy. They had everything we needed, all we had to bring was our clothes and some food. We loved the rustic boho look and feel. The outdoor shower was awesome. And loved going out on the kayaks with our morning coffee. It truly felt like home. Kennedy and Christine were the most welcoming and warm host we've ever met. And they made an amazing homemade and fresh chicken jerk dinner for us, right from the salad to the desert. Such an amazing place to get away from it all and recharge your soul."
