Authentic Old Florida

This charming cottage was not only a memory maker for us and our two teen grandsons, it reminded us of our childhood days gone by. The boys caught mangrove snapper, catfish and snook from the bank. The view is great, the hot water endless and the beds were comfortable. The hostess was friendly and ready to assist as needed.

Chokoloskee delight

Delightful place to stay, nice and quiet. Lovely sunrise and sunsets from the property. We saw dolphins every day. The property was well stocked with everything you might need for your stay. Owners were very imformative and helpful with places to eat, and places to go. We enjoyed fishing from the dock every day, and caught numerous different fish. Thank you Lynne

Backcountry Fishing at your fingertips

I really liked this spot. Perfect views of the bay, sunrise and sunsets. Very relaxing. Being able to dock my boat 25 steps from the backdoor was awesome. If you like fishing the backcountry of the 10000 islands there is no better place I think you will find, and you can take your puppy too.... THANKS

Great location!

We enjoyed our stay- the house was very clean and had a nice big kitchen with lots of supplies for cooking and food storage. We don't fish but it would be perfect for fishermen or someone with a boat because of the boat ramp. We used it as a base for exploring the nearby parks and went on a couple of tours in the area. Enjoyed drinking coffee on the porch and watching the water, what a view! I was thrilled we saw dolphins twice but we had an even better dolphin experience during our boat tour with Cory at Smallwood General Store. Bring drinking water and bug spray!

10,000 Islands Weekend Getaway

These old Tampa kids had a wonderful 4 day weekend at Lynn's Chokoloskee home. It was the perfect home base to explore the 10,000 Islands and Everglades. Lynn's husband Gary was so kind to help us establish a gps track to safely navigate our way through the mangrove islands and oyster bars to some nice fishing spots. Fishing was spotty inshore (poor weather) but fun none the less. Fishing right off the seawall behind the house we landed a slot snook and a baby goliath grouper!! Sunsets and sunrises from the back porch, who could ask for more?! It was a real pleasure and insight to speak with Lynn and Gary and some of the rest of their family about the town and their family's history in Chokoloskee. Thanks again Lynn, we will be back!!

fantastic Sunset Cruise

Located right on the water with a dock. House is on stilts (hurricane-worthy), and a 1-flight stairway is climbed for entrance. House felt freshly renovated and offered an abundance of space for 3 adults. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Located in an authentic, quiet community of multi-generation islanders. Feels far away from resorts. Easy to find restaurants with seafood, but don't expect to dine late. We almost missed out on an extraordinary experience - the owners offer boat rides that are a great introduction to extensive mangrove islands. During our early January visit, we took a "Sunset Cruise" that gave close-up encounters with dolphins, hundreds of white pelicans, and densely occupied rookery of big birds flocking for the night. Fantastic! Convenient drive to National Park entrances at Everglade City (with a boat concession to tour the saltwater area of mangroves) and Shark Valley (where we greatly enjoyed a tram ride across the fresh-water "river of grass" with an informative guide to see lots of gators & big birds up close).

This really is a fishermans' (or a nature lovers') dream.

Lynns' house is in the absolute best location to access the Everglades National Park. The boat ramp is next to the house and there is ample dockage for a boat. The house is on the southern tip of the island and has beautiful water views from the porch and windows. The house is very nicely decorated inside and has an excellent kitchen with all utensils and cookware. It is well equipped. The beds are very comfortable and we slept well here. The internet service is good. Lynn and her family have lived here for generations and have a comprehensive knowledge of the local ecosystem. They run an eco-tour business and their trips are a must-do if you are visiting here. The fishing access to the ENP and Ten Thousand Islands is very good from the house. We saw amazing wildlife in the Park during our trip. The birding was very good. We saw dolphins playing and feeding, sea turtles, alligators and manatees many times while also catching fish! A dolphin pod uses the bay immediately in front of the house as a sheltered area for breeding and giving birth to their young. We saw what was probably this years baby when we arrived in February. My wife and I (and some friends) all enjoyed our stay here. Lynn is a wonderful host and is very welcoming and helpful.

Beautiful waterfront home!

Lynn's home was absolutely beautiful. Incredibly clean, quiet & comfortable. Honestly, the house was immaculately clean! We watched dolphins out front everyday and even had a manatee pop up one evening. The home was stocked with everything we needed. We were in town for a tradeshow & work. But coming back to this property each night was so relaxing. We enjoyed dinners on the deck and had a fire in the waterside fire pit a few nights. (The mosquitoes didn't get bad until after dark!) We will definitely book this again!

Wonderful Hidden Gem Nestled on the Edge of the Everglades National Park

The McMillan house is incredible! The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Kayaks, fishing poles, boat launch, grill, fishing docks, everything is right there at your fingertips for your enjoyment. The McMillan family will show you true southern hospitality. They have been a part of Chokoloskee for quite a few generations and they are all blessed with the gift of storytelling. If you take one of their charters of the local waterways they will share their knowledge in true old Florida fashion.They run the historic Smallwood Store and this is a must see on your stay. You will stand in awe at it’s contents from years gone by. Chokoloskee Island is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world. On a beautiful starry night on the porch, you can see the milky way and if you listen close enough you can hear the whispers of the ancient Calusa Indians that once inhabited the area. Go for a visit, you will not regret it. Thank you Lynn, Gary, Corey and Nicole for an absolutely amazing week. We’ll see you all very soon!

A slice of old-Florida heaven

We can't say enough wonderful things about this home. We spent each morning enjoying coffee on the patio overlooking the bay enjoying the breeze. We were able to enter on boat from the property and dock on the property. Lynn was so kind and helpful, especially since we might be arriving during a possible hurricane. Her son, Captain Cody, was great in answering boating questions and giving us advice for fishing. If you are looking for a slice of old Florida heaven, you have found your spot!
