Every city or town needs a convenient, inexpensive place where groups can hold all kinds of…read morefunctions and meetings, and this is that place! Wanna place where your organization can hold its annual meeting; done. Need a place for Grandpa's 90th blowout b-day party; perfect. How about a super casual wedding reception; ideal. Worried about rain for your ten-year family reunion; you're covered. You get the idea. Recently remodeled it can handle up to 240 folks. If needed it has a giant kitchen. His and hers bathrooms. Easy access and decent parking. The staff will handle table and chair setup to meet your needs. For a couple of hundred bucks plus a security deposit you'll have a turn-key facility that's darn nice. Note that if you are going to serve alcohol the security deposit will be increased in case you get all wild and crazy! I've been to a couple of functions here and have learned to appreciate how valuable a place like this can be!

First the pluses: Friendly…read morefront office staff, coffee in lobby, Keurig coffeemakers in rooms, comfortable beds, clean sheets. Now the neutral: hi fat breakfast provided, small gym. Outdoor pool that is often closed when I am here. Now the negative. The floors in the room are consistently filthy. There is tile in the bathroom and by the entrance. My bare feet turn black from walking on it. I let management know each time, and I'm told it's the cleaners they have to use from the franchise. But take a look at what a towel wet with water brings up, on my last several stays, each towel a different stay. PreCOVID they had a different cleaning staff, and the hotel was immaculate. Not true anymore

She was amazing to work with from start to finish--professional, patient, and always a true pleasure to be around. She listened closely to our ideas and brought our vision to life exactly as we hoped, down to every last detail.

We are so grateful for her dedication and talent, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner who truly cares. Thank you for making such a special day unforgettable!

She was the only vendor that has been dishonest with us. We only hired her because it was required by the Hotel (we did not need her services given our wedding was small). She did not do anything in preparation for our wedding. We managed to talk to her only once after having chased her multiple times and she "agreed" to send us a credit for another service but never did so and has been ignoring us since then, despite asking dozens of times. We wanted to flag Sari's dishonesty and her bad attitude with clients

This was my first time coming to this location. They did a great job creating the stock and…read moremoderate Jeep courses. The moderate course you need 35" and at least one locker. I remember the Gladiators required a larger wheel size than regular Jeeps, maybe 37"s, but not sure. The stock course is fairly easy but will still give your Jeep a work out. Its fun, easy and they have spotters on anything iffy. There are also by- passes for those who aren't comfortable. The moderate course was challenging we were fortunate to get there early enough on Sunday we were the first Jeep and only one other Jeep was there so someone from the Ocala Jeep club who created these obstacles and he walked with us through each one and was our spotter. Love Jeeptoberfest and their new location. They have the "Funeral" train of the Barnum and Bailey Circus on property as well so that was a unique sight.

Once again she has to fight for her money. I say this is a place you would not want to use.

Avon Park is in Highlands County which is classified as an agricultural county known for its…read morecitrus. We don't get a lot of tourists as Orlando is about 70 miles north. However, we have tons of retirees, one of which is me. Lots of folks come to visit us. I had some visitors that decided to stay in this unique place, and I decided to go with them when they checked in to check it out. It's less than a mile from my condo. Arriving- It's on the northbound side of US Route 27 with a large sign. Piece of cake to find. They are small cottages, yup I said cottages, and you get to park directly in front of yours which is incredibly convenient. Pro Tip- There is every kind of restaurant and/or bar, mostly within just a few minutes. Just check Yelp. Ambience- The cottages come in two flavors, Lakefront and Front. In addition to being on a private, very nice beach, the lakefront cottages have many more amenities. Check out their excellent website for details. Everything is up-to-date and spotless. There is a private beach and a nice doc with a gazebo at the end of it. Not a bad place to quaff a beverage and watch the sunset. The lakefront cottages have gas bbq grills ready for your use. Customer Service- My friends said it was spectacular! From check-in to daily housekeeping, everyone was friendly and efficient. Pricing- Like most lodgings the price varies by several factors. It's easy to play around on the website to figure it all out. As you might expect, the cottages on the lakefront cost the most. In general, expect to pay, often on the lower end of $1xx.00 per night which is a steal. Conclusion- If you need to stay in the area and looking for something other than the chains, this fine place will get the job done in style!

Week 1: The owner came in angry that she had to clean a bathroom. I'm not sure who used it, but she…read moreexpected us to clean it for her. Week 2: The coffee that was included in the membership fee disappeared, along with coffee we purchased because she only had half a bag in there when we started our membership and took a week to bring more. Bottom line: the owner advertises this as including common area, maintenance, coffee, and other basic supplies that you would find in a similar space, so long as she doesn't have to clean anything or supply anything. Dealing with her was so draining after two weeks,, that we had to cancel our membership and lost a $250 administrative fee. In total, she took us for $503 for two weeks in a tiny cubicle The best part is, a day before our membership ended, she took an order of business cards that had come for me in the mail and kept them. She also took a bottle of the creamer that we supplied for our own coffee, and will not return calls or texts to take back her keys!

I live really close to this beautiful, well-maintained, and secluded property! How close, you ask?…read moreWell, I can drive my golf cart to it! It's been around for a very long time, since 1939 in this location. It really has two faces- Face #1 is that it is a Christian camp for young folks. I can't speak to this as my little munchkin is now in her forties and lives in Denver! Face #2 is a venue for corporate retreats, large social gatherings, extended family reunions, generally rentals of all types. This review speaks to these kinds of experiences. Let's get into the details- Location- Nestled behind citrus groves and on beautiful Lake Trout, they are about a 1 mile from US Route 27 just after you cross the northern Highlands County line. Signage is good and they are a snap to find. Visiting- You can't just stop by as others may be occupying the site. Check their website and reach out to arrange a tour. Facilities- It's a 25-acre site! For single-day events they can handle about 150 folks. If your needs include an overnight stay that is absolutely possible. For that, they can sleep about 120. They can supply food, or you can arrange your own. For you corporate team-building types, they have the ubiquitous rope courses, both high and low, and other related stuff. With 25 acres, they can afford to diversify. It turns out they have quite a reputation as a wedding venue! Pro Tip- Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms are prohibited. I realize some events might typically include beer & wine. That's not gonna happen here. Expect nicely maintained infrastructure with plenty of shade from our famously hot Florida sun! Staff- I've attended a couple of events here and they have been top notch! If you have this type of need in Central Florida, these fine folks should absolutely be on your list for consideration.

If…read moreyou are honest, probably not everything but Avon Park is close enough for me and I'm content! I've retired here for five years now but visited many times for decades before that as my parents retired here. It's safe to say I know the city very well. It's a teeny tiny place with a population of around 10-12,000. It's in agricultural Highlands County so it's off the beaten track. If you stick a thumbtack in the middle of the state, you might hit my condo! Orlando is 70 miles North and Tampa is 75 miles West. Head East 80 miles to Vero Beach. I live in a beautiful condo on a lake with exceptionally low taxes and extremely low cost of living. There really isn't a rush hour here. The medical community caters to retirees and I'm fine with that. Do I have 1000 restaurants like Orlando? Nope but I have enough to get by. I have all the retail I need with two Publix within striking distance. Amazon ships most of my stuff in one day! On any given day I could stop off at my Cheers bar, you know the one where everyone knows your name, and then grab some authentic Mexican food from any one of a dozen places. It doesn't get much better than that!
