We had an amazing stay at this charming fishing lodge by the river. The room was spacious and clean, and we loved the cozy, old Florida vibe. The staff was very welcoming and helpful, making our visit truly enjoyable. However, the dining options were limited and could use a bit more variety, especially in the breakfast department.

We had an incredible experience at this charming fishing lodge along the St. John's River. The Jr. suite was spacious and clean, with a kitchen that made our stay very comfortable. The staff was welcoming, and our kids enjoyed the easy access to outdoor activities like fishing and kayaking. The dining options were satisfying, but a bit more variety might enhance the experience. Overall, it’s an excellent spot for a family-friendly getaway, with breathtaking views and lots of wildlife to see.

Hontoon Landings offers a unique and nostalgic getaway right by the river, perfect for those who enjoy nature and a laid-back atmosphere. The rooms are charming and clean, with a fantastic view of the marina. However, the limited dining options and some seasonal closures can be a drawback. The ferry ride to the springs and the wildlife sightings are definite highlights that enhance the overall experience.

I recently stayed at this charming resort, tucked away on the bank of the St. John River. It was a delightful escape from the busy tourist areas, offering a clean and comfortable experience in a beautifully maintained, peaceful environment. Although the lack of daily housekeeping was noted, it didn't overshadow the overall tranquility and enjoyment I felt during my stay. It was simply the old Florida experience I was looking for.
