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.

Wakulla Springs Lodge is a 1930s hotel situated in a 6,000 acre state park of Spanish-moss draped woodlands. We looked out our window in the wee hours of the morning to see five deer grazing on our lawn, and later walked the dock and saw schools of fish swimming in the crystal clear water of the spring. My dream get-away!
