"A Step Back Into Charming Old World Florida!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Nothing like the Lodge at Waukulla Springs. Step back to old Florida. The hotel is gorgeous. Not new fancy but an old world charm fancy. Clean rooms. Great ice cream treats in the parlor. History is wonderful. Place where The Creature of the Lost Lagoon was filmed and Tarzan movies. Boat ride up the pristine river. A must go especially to unwind!
