This historic Inn is beautiful and well maintained. The original elevator was amazing and the fact that the rooms do not have TVs was wonderful. Forced relaxation which we both needed. We took the boat tour which was very informative and a beautiful trip with a lot of wildlife and four manatees. One of us really enjoyed taking a dip in the spring, too cold for me. This Inn is well worth the visit.

A peaceful step back in time. The springs and river are clear to the bottom and refreshingly cool. (The Creature from the Black Lagoon, filmed there, plays on a TV in the lobby.) Forest trails are lush and filled with birdsong. (Watch out for the horseflies!) Rooms in the lodge are spacious, clean and the beds comfortable. Don’t expect luxurious. The staff members are warm and courteous. Look up at the lobby ceiling. Beautiful. Lovely stay.

The surroundings & outdoor settings are relaxing & nice. The Lodge & Dining Room have deteriorated & services have been cut back with charges for any extras that would not have been charged at most places. The Ball Dining Room gives smaller amounts of sub-quality food at higher prices. No rolls or bread is served with the meal & only 1 side is given with an additional charge for a small salad as a side choice.

Mostly, we enjoyed our stay. It is a unique kind of place and you really feel close to nature while staying at a hotel. The boat tour was great. Highly recommend. The grounds surrounding the lodge and the springs are beautiful. The lodge is like walking back in time to old Florida. However, although it is charming and authentic, the rooms are old and dated You hear everything through the walls. It’s good they don’t have tvs. Our neighbor listened to music on her phone and it was like she was in the room with us. We ate dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. I wouldn’t eat there again. Food was just ok, service was just ok, price was high. The store and ice cream bar in the lobby are very cute. All in all, I’m glad we went but I’m also glad we only stayed one night. Too loud and a little too tired. It could use some sprucing up. I do recommend if like getting close to nature and seeing how Florida used to be.
Saw lots of gators
Locals swim at the springs in front of the lodge. It gets very crowded on a hot day. Lots of teenagers and kids.
