In November 2025, Arcadia and DeSoto County were featured in a Facebook LoveFL post, showcasing our town’s “Major Cozy Vibes!“
In the LoveFL post, LoveFL representatives wrote: THIS FLORIDA TOWN HAS MAJOR COZY VIBES!! If you’re craving a cozy fall getaway with small-town charm and a touch of adventure, Arcadia is the place.
Start downtown, where antique shops line the streets and every corner feels like a scene from your favorite small-town show. You can spend hours exploring vintage treasures, chatting with shop owners, and soaking up that easy going atmosphere.
Stop by Rosé Café for coffee, brunch, or something sweet. The brick walls, fresh pastries, and locally sourced ingredients make it the perfect spot to slow down and enjoy the moment.
If you’re ready for something a little more adventurous, head to Canoe Outpost-Peace River. You can paddle through the beautiful Peace River, camp along the banks, or even hunt for fossils with their expert guides.
Or, for a truly unique experience, try Fossil Recovery Exploration. Their airboat and swamp buggy fossil-hunting tours let you uncover pieces of Florida’s prehistoric past, from shark teeth to mammoth bones.
Nature lovers shouldn’t miss Peace River State Forest, where you can hike, camp, or take a peaceful night canoe trip under the stars. And when you’re ready to unwind, stay at the Oak Tree Hotel, an antique hotel full of character and charm.
From vintage shops and warm pastries to riverside adventures, Arcadia feels like it’s made for fall.
