A Lake Talquin Gem
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived! The Tackle Box has a unique lake house decor with so much attention to detail!
We enjoyed having coffee out front every morning, staring at the lake, and watching cardinals fly around while taking in the peacefulness and tranquility of this place!
It’s an easy, straight drive (25-30 minutes) to Tally and minutes away from Lake Talquin State Park.
We came up for our daughter’s graduation from FSU. Had this place been available in the past 4 years, we would have always booked here! We plan on returning and highly recommend The Tackle Box.
Thank you, Marcia, for being so attentive and accommodating! ❤️
