The waterfront is our favorite place to stay in the villages. Transportation to and from the airport is across the street and the rooms are always clean.

The rooms are nice. Location is great. You are a block away from Lake Sumter town square. Plenty of parking in front of inn. They have complimentary coffee in the morning but I walked to the Starbucks in the town square.

Great hotel and a fun town
This place is amazing, the hotel is beautiful from the outside and inside. The view of the lake is stunning. It is walking distance from a town full of fun. Highly recommend coming here. I would get out early. The town shuts down at 9:00 p.m.. so start your day early.
