Beautiful, old lodge in a wonderful family setting especially if you want to unplug. Excellent restaurant. It does lack some modern amenities such as in room TV. Internet service is limited although text, phone and email work. The bathroom was small with only a pedestal sink and slow draining tub/shower. The room itself was spacious and the beds comfortable. Definitely the best place to stay if you’re there to enjoy the spring. Highly recommend the boat tour of the river.

Loved the property & springs & boat ride. The lobby is great: relaxing & a great look back into old Florida. The dining was ok. We waited longer than usual for food after ordering. The servers were great though, very attentive. I like the white tablecloths but they were a bit dirty at breakfast - like they hadn't been changed from dinner. For those staying at the lodge, be aware that all the people coming just for the springs also use the lodge parking lot so it might be hard to find a close parking spot. Also, we waited in a 20 minute line just to get into the park as you get to the lodge after entering the state park. Not a big deal, just allow for the time.

We had a wonderful stay, it was like going back in time. The spring is right out the back door of the lodge which was convenient! Elevator was really neat and fun to use! Boat tour is a must! Restaurant has good food, just really slow. We waited 45 minutes both times to get our food and the restaurant was mostly empty, several tables that came in after us received their food before us. We really loved our stay including our teens!
