We had a wonderful stay at the retreat as it is not your typical motel. The rooms are clean and big. There was some Champagne and cookies waiting on the table as we entered the room. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and seating nestled under the trees, just charming!! The aroma of constant fresh brewed coffee and baked croissants that they leave in a bag on your door every afternoon is a nice touch, not to mention delicious. It is in walking distance to mostly everything.. Hidden Paradise

This property is newly renovated though spartan for furnishings. No luggage racks or in room coffee maker, awkward shower with too many unlabeled knobs and low water pressure. Sink was in the bedroom instead of in a washing area. On the flip side, guests were greeted with fresh pastries on their door, and a nice private on site continental breakfast room for guests.

This property was very clean, staff was polite and helpful, access to the breakfast area 24/7, croissants delivered every evening. My only three complaints: the mattress was way too soft for me, the walls are pretty thin, and the bathroom needs an actual door that will close. If these three things don't bother you, this is a wonderful property in a great area.

Cute little hotel with great artistic pieces throughout. Loved that we could walk to the nearby shops and restaurants. We were in town to see the manatees at Crystal River, which was only a couple minutes away, so perfect.

Very pretty property. It has been nicely renovated, the rooms are large and it was great to have access to the breakfast room 24/7. The only thing I didn’t like is the scented cleaning solution they use. I’m sensitive to smell and to me the perfume smell in the room was overwhelming.

After two weeks of traveling in Florida, this was BY FAR our favorite lodging! Beautiful rooms, each with its own unique decor, a peaceful courtyard filled with plants and a huge live oak tree, within walking distance of shops, restaurants and parks. And a daily afternoon pastry delivered to our room. Definitely the best lodging option in Crystal River and a true sanctuary amid Florida crowds.

Very clean, nicely decorated rooms. The front desk staff was engaging and met us with a bag of pastries. Macarons and a bottle of wine were waiting for us in the room. The property was quiet and very pleasant. Located just off the downtown strip, it was within a very easy walking distance of a handful of cafes, shops, and restaurants.
