The Lodge at Wakulla Springs

Our favorite part was the history of the lodge and beauty of the springs! We hope to visit again soon!

(no in-room TV) and a very competent full service restaurant and bar. Guests spending the night are exempt from paying the FL state park entrance fee.

We had a great time at Wakulla Springs. We stayed at the lodge for two nights. It was a beautiful old building with the original marble floors and wood ceilings. It was like stepping back in time. The room was very clean and comfortable. Don't expect a TV, microwave, or refrigerator. They weren't there when the lodge was built and they aren't there now, so you get the peace of no electronic noise. But there is a coffee station in the morning on the floor where the rooms are. The coffee was really good. We ate 3 meals in the restaurant: lunch and dinner twice. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the banana pudding cheesecake. We really enjoyed the boat ride on the river. Tickets were only $8 per person for the 1-hour ride. The boat captain gave interesting facts about the spring, river, and wildlife. He also pointed out wildlife stopped or reversed the boat so we could see it better. We also took a dip in the spring water. It was chilly but felt pretty good on a hot August day. Ultimately, we really enjoyed our visit and plan to go back again.

The next night the fire alarm went off at 4am. The night staff turned away the firemen when realizing it was a false alarm. However, the staff didn’t know how to turn it off. It stayed on for 90 minutes. The good news was the staff was very cordial and apologetic.

Rooms are big. There is a coffee station on the second floor. Wish we could have extended another day , but was fully booked.

It's a wonderful place for sleeping eating,swimming visiting. We love it.

Beautiful and peaceful ❤️💯

All good, great place to get all from all the noise.

Loved the boat ride and dinner at the restaurant. The room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly!

A great old hotel. Very comfortable, spacious room. Quiet, and such a pleasant atmosphere. We stayed two nights and we're sorry to leave. How can you beat staying in a state park lodge? A very good dining room with excellent food and very attentive staff. If you haven't seen or been in the spring, you are really missing something - delightful!

Rooms were very clean, property was beautiful, looking foward to returning.

Staff was very friendly and all smiles and helpful. You can use tvs

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

The history, decor, friendly staff, lots to do and see, the spring to jump in, everything was so great! Delayed check in because rooms not ready until 4p but still expected to be out at 11a. Please address housekeeping staff shortage.

Uncomfortable pillows

The history, the wildlife, the spring It was perfect

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.
