Inn

15487 NW Highway 19, Cross City, FL

Sprawled across 18 manicured acres just a short drive from the spring basins, this beautifully restored 1927 boutique estate was originally established by a prominent local lumber company during Florida's historic timber boom. Completely independent, the grand lodge is nationally renowned for its breathtaking interior architecture—most notably its impeccably preserved, hand-painted pecky cypress walls and columns. The property functions as a sophisticated historical destination, boasting an acclaimed on-site steakhouse and refined, vintage-themed guest rooms.
