Absolutely loved our stay at Wakulla Springs Lodge! The setting is breathtaking — peaceful, surrounded by nature, and full of history. The rooms are charming and clean, with a cozy, old-Florida feel. We enjoyed swimming in the crystal-clear spring and taking the riverboat tour — we saw manatees and alligators up close! The staff were warm and welcoming, and the on-site restaurant had great Southern comfort food. Perfect place to unplug and relax. Can’t wait to come back!
