Since 1910
Built for porches, stories, and unhurried stays.
Wide verandas, oak shade and generous common spaces give the hotel the relaxed cadence of a classic sportsman’s lodge.
Historic Nature Coast Lodge · Established 1910
Old Florida.
Beautifully untamed.
A century-old lodge near the spring-fed Chassahowitzka River—made for slow mornings on the veranda, long days on the water, and nights that feel far from everything.

Rooted in place
A historic lodge with the river at its doorstep.
The Chassahowitzka Hotel pairs genuine Old Florida character with the comforts travelers expect now: whole-house air conditioning, Wi-Fi, streaming-ready common spaces, continental breakfast, and self check-in.
Property details are based on current public lodging information and should be confirmed by the owner before publication.
The Chaz
Close to the water. Far from ordinary.
Seven Sisters Springs and the Chassahowitzka River are a short walk away. Guests can build a stay around paddling, fishing, snorkeling, wildlife viewing, scalloping, golf—or doing very little at all.
The hotel was established in 1910 and extensively renovated in 2001, preserving its historic identity while adding modern conveniences.
