The Lodge at Wakulla Springs is a Step Back in Time

Last Updated on January 4, 2023

Built in 1937 by industrialist Edward Ball, the Lodge at Wakulla Springs, is not only one of the most beautiful buildings of its period but also one of the few where guests can stay overnight. It’s a historic hotel in Florida you won’t want to miss.

Located in the middle of Wakulla Springs State Park, The Lodge’s 27 guestrooms overlook one of the country’s largest springs.

Hungry? There’s delicious fine dining in the Edward Ball Dining Room.

The fried chicken is a fan favorite at this restaurant. Looking for something else? The side dishes are all worth a try.

Be sure to save room for dessert, the cakes are divine.

Nature, luxury, history, and comfort can all be found at The Lodge at Wakulla Springs, an incredible historic hotel in Florida.

NOTE: We did not let them know we were with AuthenticFlorida.com and were pleasantly surprised to check into our room and find a welcome note, a bag of ground coffee beans, and a Wakulla Springs manatee mug. It’s those little gestures that mean so much. We look forward to returning again.
