My husband and I recently rented the entire hotel for our 70th birthday party celebration. Because most of our guests were from out of town, we were able to put them up at the hotel as well as have the party there. We loved everything about the experience! Kim and her staff went above and beyond to give us an unforgettable experience. The hotel and it’s location gave everyone the “old Florida” feel…warm, homey, casual, friendly. Our family and friends who stayed at the hotel raved about the comfortable accommodations, and especially about the front porch and rocking chairs!!

We are a family of four. This particular hotel was clean, quiet and felt safe. The location is hard to beat. And learning about the history of the hotel made it all even cooler to stay at. The owner Jim and his team really know how to make you feel comfortable. Especially if you are going out and about all day with active kids. It's a nice retreat after your adventures outdoors. If I could change anything for next time, it would be to take advantage of their meal options. We can't say enough good things! Thank you to everyone!

This was a last mintue trip and just for one night. Was so lucky to get a room here. What a great hidden gem. We will be coming back to stay. The room was clean, beds were comfortable. Loved the front porch with rocking chairs. Hubby didn't want me to share how awesome this place is. He wanted to keep it secret but it was really so great I had to share.

Ann, the manager is outstanding. My family rented The Manatee room for one night, a basic hotel room, 2 dbl beds, ,a bathroom and a TV. It was nice. When we arrived Ann explained that something wasn't working with the alarm code so they had to change our room, across the street at the Seven sisters campground, and instead of having 1 room with our kids, 18 and 12, we each had our own cabin, next door to each other. They had their own little cabin for the entire evening. Living area, kitchenette, bathroom, front porch and a small private camp fire area with picnic tables. It was fantastic. Ann also provided us with things for iur complimentary breakfast. local fresh fruit, OJ, milk, cereal, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, bagels, and some other snacks that my kids ate before I ever laid eyes on it. We will definitely be going back to visit, kayak and hangout.

During our stay at Chassahowitzka Hotel, we experienced a truly unforgettable and rejuvenating nature-filled escape in Florida. The hotel's ideal location near the Chassahowitzka River provided ample opportunities for outdoor water kayaking, and we were delighted to encounter a graceful manatee during one of our excursions. The Seven Sister Springs was an absolute gem, offering breathtaking natural beauty and an incredible spot for swimming and snorkeling. The hotel's accommodations was spacious and perfectly suited for our group of five couples and four kids. The community-style living room and kitchen brought everyone together. Fostering a warm and welcoming atmosphere for any family or friends' group reunion or wedding party. The hotel's dedication to preserving the natural surroundings and providing easy access to Florida's captivating nature was commendable. We felt deeply connected to the environment during our stay, which made it all the more special.

A really amazing stay. Homely feel with history. Such a beautiful property that feels secure and filled with peace in a great location. The room was VERY clean and quiet. The manager/host had amazing communication and great recommendations of the area if what to do and where to eat. Every morning was a continental style breakfast and coffee/ juice. When we come back we will definitely stay here again.

My husband, 3 young kids and I stayed at the Chaz hotel over Memorial Day weekend for the first time and absolutely loved it! I kept saying how wholesome the whole weekend was. This spot is tucked away with lots of trees and right near the water. We were able to walk the kids over to the campground kayak spot in about 2-3 minutes. There's a Publix not even 5 minutes away. The rooms and bathrooms and clean and spacious and the setup of the hotel is very unique. Can easily fit large groups/families so that they can kind of have their own section of the hotel. Each room has a key to lock the door when you leave. There's a large living room downstairs with a TV and little bar area. Wifi available and the usual apps on the TV if needed (Disney, Netflix, YouTube). Solid AC unit - one of the nights we were actually cold (we prefer to sleep that way!). We had more than enough towels and washcloths. There were hampers to throw our dirty clothes so they weren't lying around everywhere. The owners are awesome - so kind and down to earth! Outside the hotel there's a spot for a campfire, picnic tables, and an open area in the back for other activities. The entire weekend was just wholesome. We were able to spend a ton of time outside, got to get on the kayaks and go to the springs and even saw a manatee twice right next to our kayak! Love this little spot and would definitely go back. Bring bug spray :)
