Absolutely loved our stay at Wakulla Springs Lodge! The setting is breathtaking — peaceful, surrounded by nature, and full of history. The rooms are charming and clean, with a cozy, old-Florida feel. We enjoyed swimming in the crystal-clear spring and taking the riverboat tour — we saw manatees and alligators up close! The staff were warm and welcoming, and the on-site restaurant had great Southern comfort food. Perfect place to unplug and relax. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic old building with lots of history , lift is out of action at the moment due to replacement. You get complimentary tea and coffee in the common area between 6am & 9am and no other time. We eat in the restaurant and the food was okay .

Beautiful nostalgic place. The bar at the restaurant is very nostalgic except the fact that we had to walk over to the other side of the counter to get our ice cream. In the old days the soda jerk guy will serve you at the counter like any other bar counter service. If they would do that it would feel more authentic. I hope management read says because it would improve the experience staying at their hotel

As we make a 2 day trip to visit our grandchildren , we always stop here to rest, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of this place. The recent renovation has added a new sparkle and the restaurant always feels like a special place to celebrate. We will be back!
