Our Story

Welcome to Marietta Cypress Acres, a peaceful 66-acre retreat tucked away in Silver Springs, Florida. Named in honor of my mother, Marietta, this special place reflects the warmth, strength, and spirit that continue to inspire our family every day. What began as a dream of creating a quiet escape has grown into a destination where others can slow down, reconnect, and make meaningful memories with the people they love.

Marietta Cypress Acres is also home to a unique piece of country music history. Once owned by Mel Tillis, the legendary singer-songwriter and Grand Ole Opry star, this property carries a legacy that adds to its charm and character. His lasting impact on country music, paired with the heart of our family’s vision for this land, makes this stay feel all the more special.

Surrounded by towering trees, a private lake, and inviting lodge spaces, the property was designed with intention. It is a place for family reunions, weddings, retreats, restful weekends, and quiet moments in nature. Whether you are feeding turtles off the dock, grilling breakfast on the porch, gathering with loved ones by the fire, or enjoying a peaceful walk beneath the trees, every part of the experience is meant to help you feel grounded and at home.

Thoughtfully updated with modern comforts while preserving its timeless spirit, Marietta Cypress Acres is more than a getaway. It is a place where family legacy, natural beauty, and memorable experiences come together. We are honored to share this piece of our heart with you.
