After two weeks of traveling in Florida, this was BY FAR our favorite lodging! Beautiful rooms, each with its own unique decor, a peaceful courtyard filled with plants and a huge live oak tree, within walking distance of shops, restaurants and parks. And a daily afternoon pastry delivered to our room. Definitely the best lodging option in Crystal River and a true sanctuary amid Florida crowds.

Very clean, nicely decorated rooms. The front desk staff was engaging and met us with a bag of pastries. Macarons and a bottle of wine were waiting for us in the room. The property was quiet and very pleasant. Located just off the downtown strip, it was within a very easy walking distance of a handful of cafes, shops, and restaurants.

swim with the manatees

Great place to stay. A bottle of wine was waiting for us as were 3 tasty macaroons. Later they brought us fresh warm pastry. Room was bright and spacious. Parking was across the street, was the only negative but no big deal.

This property is so tropical and just gorgeous!!! Walkable to so much that you wouldn’t have to leave the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will absolutely stay here again. I think the little touches with the coffee room being open 24/7 and the delicious pastries delivered to your room every afternoon, just absolutely makes it perfect!!!!
