This "inn" is quaint and in the heart of The Villages. The staff is exceptional, especially Teresa (F & B Manager) and Kate, the bartender. They were very accommodating to our group over the 4 weeks we stayed there (over four months). More...

We really enjoyed our weekend. The Inn was extremely nice. The restaurant downstairs was good. It was better food than the Johnny Rockets down the road. There is live music at the square every night. Rent a gold cart for the time you are there. That’s how everyone gets around the town. Go visit the other communities. More...
