Beautiful area, lake view with amazing sunsets. Exceptional staff and attentive service. It’s not the Hilton! - but the rooms are clean and spacious with a rustic feel that you might welcome during your stay in beautiful Osceola County.

We found a hidden gem booking this property. It is nestled in a remote, quite neighborhood away on the lake. It is located about 10 minutes from shopping and dining. The staff was so nice and accommodating. The bed was so comfortable, which is hard to find these days in hotels.

A nice quiet and relaxing place. They have a dock on the lake I walked to and worked out on every morning. And at night I sat on the dock under the stars. It’s also off the main highway so the road to the inn is a quiet road and you’re not suddenly pulling into traffic. Overall great place!

This place was absolutely amazing! The hotel was so calm, the dock out back gave us gorgeous views, there are starfruit and papaya trees, the staff is so sweet and kind, and it was a truly relaxing stay. A little more old school which is exactly what I was looking for. We had to leave a day early which broke my heart, but if we're ever in the area again, this is where I want to stay.
