Spanning more than 350 acres, Coldwater Gardens focuses on recreation, education and exploration of Northwest Florida’s natural environment and agriculture practices. A stay at the property entails sleeping in the ultimate eco-designed glamping destination, with options including luxury cottages, cabanas, upscale tents and even treehouses.

 

Luxury tents feature a queen-sized Tempurpedic bed with fresh linens, hardwood floors, electricity, a mini-fridge, coffeemaker and water boiler. Tents are also furnished with chic pieces to further capture that zen vibe.

While at Coldwater Gardens, guests can fully immerse themselves in their surroundings through a variety of activities like stargazing; yoga; kayaking, paddleboarding and tubing on Coldwater Creek; and more.

 

Because Coldwater Gardens sits far away enough from light-filled cities, guests can enjoy unparalleled views of the sky atop the stargazer platform. This platform also includes a firepit, picnic table, hammock chairs, solar charging stations and more for a memorable and relaxing stargazing experience.
