The Lodge at Wakulla Springs

Nice place to stay. The hotel is beautiful, it looks like you went back in time when you arrive. Room is spacious and has a nice shower.

Beautiful place

This is a hidden gem and one of my favorite places in the world! I hope the secret doesnt get out TOO MUCH so that its booked solid, but do yourself a favor and visit this pristine wilderness in old world luxury! The resort is impeccable - beauty and history and quality at every turn, but the real star is the spring - the largest freshwater spring in the world! The crystal clear, icy water is a refreshing respite from the heat of the summer, and the untouched wilderness surrounding the resort is extremely special and exceedingly rare in this day and age. Wonderful for all ages from children to seniors, with exceptional ADA compliance with the modernization of the historic elevator and the easy sloping paths to the spring and elsewhere. The ammenities offered are just right - nothing too fancy foo-foo, yet nothing left wanting. The restaurant is EXCELLENT (and we are from New Orleans, the fine dining capital of the US). Highest praise to the chef, kitchen staff and front of house - everything was top tier excellence! Pro tip: DO NOT SKIP THE JUNGLE CRUISE - its absolutely worth the meager cost and the time - we saw manatee, birds, fish, turtles and more. LOVE this place and am anxious to return already! Laura at the front desk is a LIFESAVER and goes above and beyond for her guests!

Did i mention our large comfortable room and the complimentary tea/coffee bar each morning?? We will be back!

Very unique out of the way place. Beautiful and quiet. Riverboat was awesome. Saw manatees, alligators and many different bird species. Lodge was gorgeous.

Historic hotel, beautifully preserved and maintained. Front desk staff were helpful and courteous. Very pleasant, intentionally old-fashioned room without TV, mini-fridge or coffee maker in tune with the period decor. Excellent a/c and ceiling fan however. Restaurant served good quality food and an adequate American cuisine menu at mid-level prices. Breakfast menu was the typical Southern variety, but service on our Sunday morning visit was surprisingly slow. Food was good though and reasonably priced. Wakulla Springs is a beautiful location with a famous swimming area and small beach, nature-themed boat tours and hiking/birdwatching trails. Strongly recommended.

We loved this historic gem. Highly recommend for the views and access to the spring and the great restaurant and bar. We will be back.

This is a fabulous historic lodge! It was so peaceful for some rest and relaxation. My one complaint was that the AC was not working in the room. The staff were all very nice about it, and did provide us with a box fan for the evening. I will return to the Lodge again in the future.

Excellent lodge. Highly recommend.

Such an”old Florida” experience. Played checkers in lobby. Soda shop and excellent restaurant. After the spring closes for swimmers the park comes alive with birds and squirrels. Magical. Especially when the gators start calling.

It was a good place if you want to truly disconnect and go back to the old Florida. There is no tv and no pool. However, you do have WiFi and access to the springs if you want to cool down on a hot day.

Free breakfast would have been nice!

All great.

June at the front desk was amazing. Beautiful hotel. The food was just okay(burger and potatoes were both dry), but the rest of our experience was great. Super comfy beds, even my 4 year old slept in. Such a clean place and I loved being able to soak in the tub (it was pretty deep)! We even saw turtles laying eggs.

This is one of those places you go for the experience more than for a luxury stay. The lodge is vintage 1937, so historic and beautiful. Lots of marble and architectural embellishments. They're working on updating aspects of the lodge while keeping it operational. Of course you have to go for a swim in the spring and don't miss the boat tour. Worth every minute. The room was clean and quiet and maintained the Old Florida feel. Comfy bed and strong shower.

The elevator didn’t work. There were only two electrical outlets in the entire room (none in the bathroom). There was no hot water for the entire evening, night and morning of our stay.

Spotless room, very comfortable beds and good choices on the menu at the restaurant.

boat ride great

Great historical lodge steps from the springs. Awesome jungle cruise with lots of wildlife. Saw alligators and fish on the boardwalk trail. Good food in the restaurant and soda shop.

Very nice and well worth it!
