Me and the hubs just arrived home from a 3 night stay at the Whippoorwill Sportsman's Lodge and I'm…read morealready planning a trip back. From start to finish I only have good things to say. We checked in at 3 pm on Wednesday and were greeted by their friendly staff that led us to cottage 10. There was plenty of room to park the truck and boat trailer and the room was fantastic, very roomy. Living room area with dish network, flat screen tv, comfy sofa and chair. Furnished kitchen with dining area...there was enough room to have people over for dinner. Very clean bathroom furnished with towels and washcloths. The bedroom had a full bed and a single. The place was very clean and if you open the windows you can enjoy the view from beneath the old oaks and see Lake Talquin. We ate at the Whip, in walking distance from the room a total of three times. Once for dinner and twice for lunch. The views of the lake, beautiful. The staff, excellent. The food, even better!! It's not your run of the mill we just slapped this together because you showed up type place. They get creative and it's a treat for the taste buds. Our favorites, the blue cheeseburger and the bbq brisket nachos. Lunch time wasn't crowded all but it really fills up for dinner, especially Friday night. All in all a clean, quiet place for a peaceful getaway.

Wish the Whip were back! Loved eating on the water, and the food was great. Everything was nice…read moreand clean, and the staff was very nice.

Awesome time on the Wacissa today! Tommy had everything set up before we got there, from boats to…read morePFD's to a map of the river. After a quick safety check and talk about where we were going we were off. He led us in and out of coves and over springs, pointing out birds, gators & turtles we would not have noticed without him. He told us interesting tidbits about the critters, history of the area and some very disheartening facts about the environmental degradation happening over the last few years around the Wacissa. And he helped make sure our technique was good and we were all having fun as we paddled up & downstream. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tommy and the Florida Kayak School to anyone.

I'm a relative newcomer to kayaking and had the GREAT fortune to have a private session with Tommy…read moreof the Florida Kayak School. We toured Piney Z lake and Lake Lafayette. It was INCREDIBLE! First, the supplies were really nice (nice kayak, paddle, etc.) and fit me perfectly. Second, Tommy is a great teacher and tour guide! He made me feel very comfortable in the kayak and he gave me a few pointers which were instantly useful. Tommy also knows seemingly all there is to know about the wildlife (both above and below the water...definitely some gators out and about...), the lakes and the environmental challenges that they face. No joke, go to Florida Kayak School as soon as you can! I plan to go again soon, next time with the wife and kid!
