Discover a place where the silence of the woods is broken only by the sounds of nature! Located on the historical 92,000 acre Babcock Ranch, The Cypress Lodge offers a private relaxing setting for conferences, corporate retreats, private parties and special events.

Once the home of Fred C. Babcock, the Cypress Lodge sits in the heart of the 10,000 acre Telegraph Cypress Swamp. Surrounded by wading birds, Spanish moss covered Cypress tress and alligators, the Cypress Lodge is the perfect venue for any occasion. We are committed to providing you and your group with an extraordinary experience. Our location, comfortable meeting area, distinctive menus and private tours make the Cypress Lodge the natural choice for successful and memorable meetings and events.

Imagine being with some of your closest friends and enjoying an evening of specially prepared hors d'oeuvres while sitting on the screened lanai watching the swamp come alive followed by a gourmet meal prepared by our resident chef! Additionally, we have been very successful in hosting corporate meetings, retreats and special events by providing the flexibility and creativeness that fits each particular occasion. Our chef can create anything from breakfast buffets to themed cookouts to grand dinners!

Your choice of sleeping accommodations at the Cypress Lodge includes rooms with two single beds and a private bath, rooms with two single beds and a shared bath, and rooms with two queen beds and a shared bath. Given this sleeping diversity, we can sleep 11 to 14 people which is perfect for corporate overnights and special family gatherings.

A complete meeting planning package is available with standard menus and prices, and special requests are always welcome. Contact Maria Pascucci at (941) 639-3958 Ext. 2. An invitation to come on out to see the facility is always encouraged when discussing the ideas for your special event.
