Such a charming little lodge! The room was spacious and clean and we loved having the couch and recliner to relax on while watching tv or planning our activities. The location is perfect with easy access to the downtown area and main roads. I highly recommend a stay here!

Superb hotel. Cozy and super clean. Can't believe this amazing hotel right on water exists in crystal river. They have a natural spring fed pool right on property extracting manitees to the pool overflow area. They have boat docks/parking for customers. If you have a kayak, can launch straight from the property parking lot.

Nice lodge with old Florida charm right on the water. Large room, comfortable furniture, friendly staff in a great location. We launched our boards right from the dock. Spring fed pool was a cool feature. We had the opportunity to chat with a couple of the friendly owners. We will definitely stay again!

This is an old, but updated, cozy mom and pop motel located directly on Crystal River. The staff were amazingly accommodating and I have never stayed in a cleaner motel. It was cute as a button and your parking place is right in front of your unit. Would definitely stay there again if I come back!
