Virginia P. May 26, 2025 02:26:10 AM

Summary: Loved this place, would definitely stay again. Peaceful, beautiful and the owners was so nice.

Raymond R. Feb 21, 2022 03:36:05 AM

Summary: We loved our stay at this property. It was wonderful to wake up in the midst of a beautiful FLA natural area with the river rolling by. We walked daily on the road and the property was just a short drive to the beach and Destin and Panama Ciry area restaurants. The hosts were so accommodating, holding our mail, taking us for a boat ride on the river, building fires in the firepit and baking the most delicious cookies.

Fritzi M. Jul 16, 2021 01:04:09 AM

Summary: We (myself & 2 kids and sister & husband) had a FABULOUS time at The Choctaw Lodge! Kathryn and Ron are superb hosts. Ron has a wealth of historical knowledge about the area. The guest house was lovely, homey, comfortable with views of the river from the bedroom, living room and dining room. The Lodge’s grounds are beautiful with greenery along the river. At night, the grounds, trees and buildings light up, giving it a magical feeling. The lodge has an amazing, enormous, comfortable porch to eat scrumptious breakfasts cooked by Kathryn. She is a wonderful chef! Her bread pudding is delicious! Ron took us on an enjoyable boat ride along the river and into the swamp and even had the opportunity to see an alligator! My brother-in-law and kids fished off a deck and caught fish! My son and I kayaked on the river early morning and enjoyed nature. The Lodge has all the amenities! The Lodge is secluded in the woods along the river but easy enough to travel to the beaches. The Lodge is a perfect start and end to the day. We had great fun! We hope to see Kathryn and Ron again in the future! We most HIGHLY recommend the Lodge!

Sharmontranae M. Jun 28, 2021 09:07:49 AM

Summary: Hospitality was everything! The complimentary breakfast was homemade and delicious. The property is a 100 overall, comfortable is what we were our entire stay and I can’t wait to retreat with these lovely people again!

Edward M. Jun 23, 2021 10:24:30 PM

Summary: The guest house surpassed my expectations. Ron and Kathryn were exceptional hostesses they were very friendly and Kathryn’s breakfast were outstanding. Ron gave us a boat trip showing us the the River and gave us tips on Kayaking. The location was great since it is between Panama City and Destin. After visiting both beaches we still had time for a campfire each night by the river. We will definitely come back. Thank you Ron and Kathryn for an unforgettable experience at your retreat lodge.

Victoria G. May 30, 2021 03:49:03 AM

Summary: Beautiful surroundings for a few days of R and R. Choctaw Lodge is very peaceful and hosts Kathryn and Ron are very helpful and accommodating. Boat tour of the river and delicious breakfasts were highlights!

Melissa K. Apr 11, 2021 05:32:57 AM

Summary: This property is in a great location and was the relaxing escape we needed! It was very clean and felt like home the minute we arrived. Ron and Kathryn were fantastic hosts. They gave so many great recommendations to help make our stay memorable. Kathryn is a fantastic cook, and it was amazing to have a wonderful breakfast waiting for us each morning. Looking forward to staying again!

Scott B. Mar 26, 2021 06:32:58 AM

Summary: This place is amazing. The property and home is beautiful and done up well. The breakfast was the best. Can't wait to come again and stay longer.

Summary: While looking for a different experience close to the beach I found this listing, I book reservations on the pictures and ratings but did not read the entire description of listing right away. I was alittle hesitant when I realized it was a B&B. I am so happy we went, it was AMAZING. I can not put into words how much we loved our stay. The food, accommodations, beautifully landscaped grounds and host were all so welcoming. I absolutely recommend anyone that loves nature and relaxation to visit.

Ben C. Dec 30, 2020 08:18:52 PM

Summary: Absolutely gorgeous getaway, friendly and gracious hosts, beautiful nature, and the decor in the house was wonderful. Unfortunately the internet was very limited unless you were on Verizon. Fortunately the host went out of their way to brainstorm multiple solutions until we found one that worked and they offered me a stay at another property well equipped to meet all my needs.
