Loved the uniqueness of this hotel. Feels like an old plantation. The grounds are beautiful. We saw two deer across from the parking lot and counted 13 manatees in the spring. Food is the best I have ever had. The room was huge. We really enjoyed it!

I like that (as much as possible) they keep its original architecture and look. The springs and boat tours are very cool! Coffee station coffee was a little weak:).

Back in Time

Our 3 night stay was so very nice. The Lodge, built in the 1930s, was like stepping back in time. The grounds are beautiful, the restaraunt wah excellent, and the boat tour of Wakulla Spring was so good that we went twice.

Cute hotel in fun location

Cute hotel in fun location. They have modernized the hotel while keeping its old quaint charm. Rooms are quite small but comfortable. Double beds fine for a couple but probably less fine for friends. Wish room had a fridge but old wiring might not handle it. Could use easier places to plug in phones near bed and a night table on both sides of the bed. Shower was wonderful. Shared coffee area outside room fine but need to put out coffee earlier for early risers wanting to get out and go. The park is beautiful. Hiking trails are nice. Saw lots of birds. Restaurant was yummy and convenient and the staff were excellent.

The park was beautiful as was the lodge. Dining portions are huge. The River Cruise was fun and breathtaking. Negatives: you do without modern hotel room amenities. No TV, fridge, microwave, or in room coffee. If you can make do without for a night or two it's well worth it.
