My wife surprised me with a family getaway on my 50th Birthday. We spent Friday-Sunday on the property. We stayed in the Teepee and they were amazing. We booked several excursions to include the following, horseback riding, adventure park, skeet shooting (the guy running this was amazing), the Rodeo was the best I have ever attended it was very well done and honored our military veterans. The kids had an opportunity to take park in the rodeo. What made the trip really special for us with the relationship we made with the staff at the ranch. Eden was truly amazing her level of service was world class and simply a pleasure to have working to make sure we had a great experience. Overall, it was an amazing birthday and we would consider going back.

Finding the ruins of this shrine is a fun adventure. It is 6 miles from Lake Wales, and Google can give you directions to it. The bridge and shrine at the edge of St. Anne's Lake are easy to spot. To find the altar, look for a white cross about 3 feet high on the south side of the road and follow the path into the woods about 25 yards. The steps of the church, now dismantled and removed are also evident, but there are other stone ruins here and there if you walk around the area. A walk around the lake is about 1 mile.
