In the middle of a wildlife preserve, the surroundings at The Lodge at Wakulla Springs were beautiful. No TVs in the rooms - which we loved! - Creature from the Black Lagoon was playing on the set in the lobby when we checked in! The dining room was closing as we checked in, but they were able to make us a "take out" meal which was wonderful. Our breakfast the next morning was great, and our server was friendly and very attentive. We were not able to take the boat ride through the springs due to time constraints, but it looked like a lot of fun, judging by the kindergarten class that was taking the tour! Would love to go back someday. [Note to self: Try to get there before dark & be sure to pack sunscreen, bug spray, hat, long sleeve shirt & long pants for return visit -- it really is in the MIDDLE of a nature preserve]

I had a terrific stay at the lodge. My room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and it was so nice to walk around after dinner. Meals at the restaurant were delicious. And best of all was the boat ride to see the wildlife along the river.

We loved it here & already planning on coming back. I loved the vintage vibes, the elevator, the boat tour (Collin was awesome! Is he single? Asking for my sister.), jumping into the springs, all the history, the swamp creature stuff, & of course, the gorgeous nature. p.s Order a ginger yip at the soda shop!

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!
