I cannot recommend this trail ride enough. We did not stay on property as we live only 45 minutes away but I would 100% come for a getaway weekend. The hour long trail ride was the perfect length and extremely intimate (we lucked out and only had the 3 of us). The two trail guides Emily and Ashley I believe, were so kind and friendly! We enjoyed random conversations along the peaceful trail with the most gentle calm horses! I cannot recommend this enough and will definitely be back to visit the sweet horses and staff, and try out their delicious looking food!!! A big thank you to Emily and Ashley for making my bday extra sweet and to our very cute horses, Finn, Philly, and Lottery!!!

Our family had the best time at Black Prong. Before we even got here the staff reached out and were extremely nice and helpful. Our lodging was pristine and they made special accommodations for our daughter that was extremely thoughtful. We did a trail ride with Abby and Emily who were very knowledgeable, instructive and easy to talk to. The ability to walk, bike or ride directly into the state park is an amazing feature. It is so calm and peaceful here and yet there is so much adventuring to do so. We look forward to coming back! PS- I posted this review earlier to their trail site and now realized it’s more appropriate here.

This resort is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in the one bedroom cottage that is like a very pretty tiny house with everything you could need for a comfortable, enjoyable stay. They even provided a golf cart for getting around the property. The restaurant onsite is well appointed and the food is amazing!!! I would definitely recommend

We had our wedding here a few weeks ago and were absolutely blown away by our accommodations, the staff, the property, just everything. Our guests raved about their cabins and many of them said they would return just for a little getaway. All the food was delicious and the staff were kind, helpful and always went above and beyond. My husband and I plan on making Black Prong Bar and Grill our anniversary dinner spot every year. I cannot say enough good things about Black Prong and all their staff!

What a wonderful, peaceful getaway. We live in the Tampa area and took a short 2 hour drive with our dogs to stay at the Black Prong Resort. The tiny home we had was new and offered everything needed for Glamping. The on site restaurant was fantastic from the bar staff and drinks to the food options. While at the resort, we participated in a cocktail making course. This private education on 2 signature adult drinks was fantastic. Blake and Jada know mixology! I now have a new favorite bourbon drink which I can make on my own! E bikes for the trial were free to use. My wife and I had a blast riding on these machines. Lastly, we paid to take a trail ride on the very healthy and well kept horses on the premises. My only issue was that my wife and I are experienced riders, and wished the trail allowed for more than a slow stroll with the horses. We would have liked to trot or gallop a little, however that was not allowed. The ride was still fun, but too slow for my preference. Thank you, The Glenns

I have stayed here twice with our horses. The accommodations, restaurant, pool, horse facilities are AMAZING! This time we stayed in a Tiny home. The home itself was beautiful, laid out well, comfortable, and all of the appliances, linens, toiletries, etc. were top notch! The horse stalls, paddocks, tack rooms, wash stations, etc. are all beautiful and well maintained. You are sandwiched by the Goethe State Forest, making trail riding convenient and beautiful. Michelle, at the front desk is friendly, helpful, and professional. If you have any problems after hours, you can easily reach someone and it is taken care of ASAP! We are already planning our trip for next year.

Michele was the best host. She made sure she was there to greet us upon arrival to explain how and where things were. She was very accommodating for all our needs during our stay. The tiny house was immaculate, the property was beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. Guests get a golf cart with their stay, an extra bonus. Highly recommend Black Prong Resort.

We spent the weekend at Black Prong Resort and it was an incredible weekend! We stayed in a gorgeous tiny cabin and enjoyed the large bay windows to watch wildlife from. We booked a horseback ride and loved it! The guides were knowledgeable and kind, the horses gorgeous and well trained. We took e bikes into the forest and loved the trails. The food at the restaurant was top notch and extremely delicious. The live music from Gypsy Sparrow was the right kind of bluesy/sultry sound for the environment. The property and facilities are gorgeous, there is so much attention to detail. The staff were all so kind and helpful! 10/10, can’t wait to return.

My husband and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary at Black Prong and had a wonderful time. The staff was attentive, professional, and kind. The resort is well maintained and organized. I recommend if you’re looking for a quiet getaway with plenty of amenities. The highlights were the horseback riding experience and dinner at the restaurant was top-tier. All ingredients were fresh and food was delicious. They are currently going through renovations, so I would’ve liked to have had a small convenience store and hope that will be added. I also would’ve liked to have spent more time with the horses, aside from the ride, maybe visiting them at the barn and having the opportunity to pet or take more pictures with them, even if at an additional fee. However the horseback riding experience was magical and all the trainers super nice. All in all, I highly recommend and would love to visit in a few years once renovations are complete.

We brought our RV and stayed at one of the covered RV pads. It was large, well lit, and had a nice picnic table. The dog park was spacious and shaded with lots of fresh grass for the dogs to romp. The pool was beautiful and we took advantage of the onsite Galloping Gourmet for poolside meals. The burgers and sandwiches were delicious. The grounds were immaculate and the staff was friendly. Thank you Michelle and Black Prong staff for a pleasant weekend. You will definitely see us again.

Spent the weekend at Black prong and it did NOT disappoint! Michelle greeted us at check in to make sure we understood the grounds. Her check in process is well organized with pictures and maps explaining where things are and how to operate your golf cart. (which is included with your stay) She even took us to our cabin to make sure we could get all settled in. Our favorite part was that she had put us in the cabin next to the horses. My daughter got to spend a lot of time loving on them and giving them "hairstyles". She told me it was her best birthday ever! We wanted for nothing, everything we needed or asked for black prong provided. Even the Peloton in the gym was a nice surprise. The grounds are definitely an elevated upscale experience without the price tag! If you're looking for a peaceful and fun, clean and beautiful place to stay that happens to have horses and trails Black Prong is the place for you! We can't wait to come back, Thanks to the Black Prong team for making our stay so special and memorable.

Absolutely BUCKET LIST destination!!! We stayed in one of the tiny houses and it was better than any luxury hotel room… so many little details that bring comfort, easy accessibility and makes you really feel pampered. The owner and team have thought of EVERYTHING and it was one of the best places we've stayed at in years!

My husband and I had an amazing weekend at Black Prong Resort! We couldn’t believe we were less than two hours from the hustle and bustle of Tampa. The staff was amazing, with special mention of Cliff, who gave us a wonderful tour of the Property and helped us with our electric bikes, as well as Brittany, who provided excellent service at the restaurant. We were truly amazed by the luxury and well thought out manner that the tiny homes concept was executed. Our tiny home was perfect for two. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and it was very relaxing to sit by the pool, which was extremely clean as well. We played pickle ball, rode electric bikes, had dinner both nights at the wonderful restaurant on site, and enjoyed having our own golf cart to explore the property. We did not have to leave the grounds for anything, so it was truly relaxing. I cannot say enough good things about the wonderful ways that they are developing this property, and we will for sure come back with our children to enjoy it often. It was a very peaceful weekend with beautiful weather and fond memories being made. Cannot wait to see the future of Black Prong as it gets better and better. Highly recommend visiting Rainbow Springs nearby before heading home! 10/10

First off a very beautiful property and equestrian facilities. We brought our RV for a 6 day stay. Our site was beautiful but a little awkward to get into. As others mentioned a golf cart was provided with site. We visited the restaurant on several occasions. Dinner was delicious with elevated dishes. Drinks at the bar were well prepared and service was excellent. The website is very accurate and every aspect of this beautiful property has been done very well. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and made sure our stay was great. Will be back when in the area.

Highly recommend this place. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Believe the property is almost 90 acres and is very well kept. This is an equestrian based property, so you can actually bring your own horses and they rent cottages with stalls attached! (They also have ones without) They also offer trail rides through the forest adjacent to Black Prong. We towed our RV there and stayed on a concrete pad, which came with a golf cart right on the site to navigate the large property. The pool, hot tub, gym was all extremely clean. Online ordering for food pickup as well as a restaurant on site. Couldn't ask for more. Would definitely come back and a great spot for kids as well!
