A guest comment made me aware of this amazing little inn so integrated into its beautiful tropical environment, one of our nation's treasures. If you are looking for a total getaway, a new and transforming environment it doesn't look like you have to travel to another continent. I can't decide between staying in the boat house or renting the 48 foot houseboat and inviting the whole family. You can have customized breakfasts apparently. Picnic lunches, everything. Here's what Art. J. wrote about Choctaw Lodge:
"If you like getting away from it all in Florida or just want to relax, this is the place to go. They have fire pits outside your house with beautiful views of the river, trees are lit at night, hammocks for relaxing, comfortable chairs outside to curl up with a book in, canoes or kayaks for going out on the river, or relax in the hot tub at the lodge. The Guest House and the Boat houses are First Class and beautifully decorated. This site is secluded but yet still not too far from whatever you want to do. The owners Ron and Kathryn Hardy are fantastic people and do everything they can to make you feel at home and special, and you won't lose any weight eating breakfast (unless you really want to) Kathryn is an awesome cook. I highly recommend!!!! You will leave refreshed."
