Loved the charm at The Lodge and staff were great!! Only concern was we booked a room with a river view but you cannot see River from the room. Trees block the view. Room should not be advertised as such, very disappointing.

Old Florida ! Love this place! Didn’t like the elevator being down for an extended period of time. We bring the entire kitchen when we travel (lol) But I needed the exercise! Wakulla is a slice of history that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime!
