Tiny Tree Lake House on an Organic Farm

A tiny stilted house standing over its own tilapia pond on a five-acre organic farm on the rural edge of Naples. You fall asleep to frogs and wake up to fish breaking the surface under the floorboards. The screened porch with its hammock is where you'll spend most of your time — and the screen matters, because this is the wet side of the Everglades and the mosquitoes mean business after rain. There's a jacuzzi, a fire pit, a heated outdoor shower and bikes to borrow. Naples beaches are about 25 minutes west; Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, with its boardwalk through old-growth bald cypress, is the better day trip and under an hour away. It's compact — one bed, two people, no pretending otherwise — but everything in it is well built, and the farm setting gives you a slice of Old Florida the beach resorts erased decades ago.
