Eight rooms, one lake, and the best sunset in Lake County — served with a cheeseburger. Come for the day. Stay for the night.

Everything sits on the same patch of shoreline at 508 South Main — the inn out front, the Tiki Bar in the back yard, and the boats tied up at the dock.

A hundred-year-old oak, a jetty, and a cheeseburger in paradise.
The Inn has been taking in guests on the eastern shore of Lake Minneola since 1882 — through the freezes, the land booms, and everything that came after. The rooms have been remodeled with a Key West feel, but the bones and the fixtures are the originals.
In 1995 the back yard became the Tiki Bar & Grill, and the back yard is now the reason most people find us. It's entirely outdoors, tucked off the main road, and about forty-five minutes from Orlando — which feels like a different world entirely.
Tie up at the dock, walk down from a room, or park out front. However you get here, get here before the sun goes down.
Word gets around.
Completely outdoors with a nice covered bar area and tables with umbrellas by the lake. The food was fresh, the staff friendly, and the serving sizes were huge.
Tripadvisor reviewWhen we visit Florida this is top of my itinerary. Great bar area for a few drinks, or sit on the jetty for food looking out over the lake.
Tripadvisor reviewOn the weekends get there early — the locals know this is the place to be for sunset.
