Clean room easy access to Silver River for our personal Kayaks from their boat ramp. Only $5 launch fee. The person who leads the Kayak tours there even let us lock our kayaks up near the launch so that we did not have to load and unload them each day. The staff at both the lodge and PaddleTail Adventures were very nice and helpful. My daughter and I had an excellent weekend.

Its clean but its also an old Motel. The door in our bathroom would not stay closed due to shifted frame, old school/noisy air-conditioning, etc. However the location is awesome, the staff is fabulous and the manatees are pleantiful.
