Crawfordville St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge Hotels

"Nice stay"

"Beautiful find. Clean, relaxing, friendly staff, delicious food in restaurant. Had breakfast and dinner, and had ice cream in the "Parlor" which has soups, hot dogs, and all sorts of treats. No TV distraction. TV in lobby plays "Creature from the Black Lagoon" on loop as it was partially filmed here. Amazing history, I could image what it would have been like in 1937 when it was built. Nice boat ride with the most wildlife I have seen living in Florida my entire life. Saw probably 20 alligators, 15 manatees, and various different species of turtles and birds and even an otter at the boat dock. Look forward to visiting in the summer."

"Spotless room, great staff, spacious layout with kitchen. Will definitely stay here again."

"Very nice people working there "

"What a wonderful way to spend a few days. Great listing, well equipped with everything you could possibly need for fun time at the beach. Each day begins with a sunrise right over the water. Even in the winter, this home is well equipped for a great time. I especially enjoyed the stars and spending the evening by the fire, in the hot tub and sauna. Would stay again. Thank you so much for the hospitality, Osbourne."

"The room was clean. the ac was great"

"Excellent stay, outstanding staff, accessible location. "

"Right next door to the golf course not far from Tallahassee to see the sites and football games. "

"This is the second time we've stayed at the Retreat and we've thoroughly enjoyed both stays. The house is located in a very quiet area with beautiful views of the St Mark's river from the screened porch. The house was spotless when we arrived and had everything we needed to prepare meals and relax when not out on a daily adventure. The area offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities, our favorite being the St. Mark's Wildlife Reserve. Day trips to Apalachicola, Alligator Point, St George Island and Panacea are also worth it for the beautiful coastline drive. While the location is remote, a Publix is within about 20 minutes drive to stock up on necessities.Carolyn has been a great host and answered any questions we had very promptly. We're already missing the river (an otter swam by to say hello this morning) and can't wait to get back. We highly recommend checking this place out if you are exploring the area."
