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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
