Groups Enjoy Natural Landscape at Steinhatchee Landing

Steinhatchee Landing Resort

Nestled among moss-draped oaks, towering pines and sabal palms, Steinhatchee Landing Resort is a naturally ideal setting for executive retreats, small meetings and family gatherings. With 36 beautifully appointed cottages, a spacious Conference Center, a 2,000-square-foot chapel and a tradition of outstanding, personalized service, Steinhatchee Landing is a favorite option for both indoor and outdoor meetings and events. Steinhatchee Landing�s Conference Center provides meeting and reception guests with 2,400 square feet of versatile function space. Set within the natural surroundings of the resort, this gracious Georgian building accommodates groups of up to 100 persons. The center�s main room can be used for meeting or dining functions, with 1,800 square feet of space lit and warmed by chandeliers and a wood-burning fireplace. A stage and two separate bar areas give the center further flexibility, and in true Southern fashion, an elegant, spacious porch lines the front of the building. Staff can arrange catered food services or prepare customized meals in the Conference Center�s commercial kitchen.

For board meetings and conferences, Steinhatchee Landing offers smaller, more intimate rooms in the health club and cottages. Fax and copy services are conveniently available at the resort office in the main building.

The Resort�s sprawling 35 acres are dotted with footbridges and gazebos, providing plenty of locations for outdoor events, whether alongside the peaceful Steinhatchee River or under the shade of magnificent live oaks and magnolias. The riverside Pool Pavilion makes a great spot for casual poolside gatherings and features barbecue and screened-in picnic facilities. The Landing prides itself in personalized service, assigning a staff member to each group to help coordinate the facilities and services needed for a successful event.

Steinhatchee Landing�s Victorian and Florida Cracker-style cottages provide comfortable accommodations for meeting and event attendees. Historic in concept but contemporary in convenience, the one-, two- and three-bedroom cottages offer fully equipped kitchens and laundries, TVs/VCRs, phones and stereo systems, screened-in porches and outdoor charcoal grills.

Additional amenities include complimentary continental breakfast served in the main building�s living room, a pool and outdoor Jacuzzi. Steinhatchee Landing also arranges fishing trips, scalloping trips (in season), off-property canoe adventures and guided nature excursions for bird watching and horse back riding. Several restaurants are located just minutes from the resort, serving up the finest in Florida seafood.

From executive retreats and corporate meetings, to weddings and family reunions, Steinhatchee Landing offers a soothing combination of versatile meeting and function venues with casual resort-style accommodations. The Landing is situated on the lush banks of the peaceful Steinhatchee River, three miles from the Gulf of Mexico.
