Everglades Rod & Gun Club

The Rod & Gun is truly one of a kind! We’ve visited several times over the past eight years, including a memorable Thanksgiving stay with our two adult sons. Each trip has been a joy, and the memories we’ve created there mean so much to us. Sometimes we head out on the water with a local captain to fish; other times we simply stay a night or two to soak in the atmosphere—the inviting pool, excellent restaurant, charming town, and the tranquility that surrounds it. Its fascinating history, from tales of drug running to hosting U.S. Presidents, adds even more character! You'll enjoy learning all about that, and reading old newspaper articles that are posted on the walls in the entry way. I always leave feeling completely relaxed, grateful for its authentic “Old Florida” charm. The rooms, w

Ate delicious food here, shrimp, scalops, gator all local catch! Christina is a great host and told us a bunch of interesting stories. Very peaceful and scenic patio, fly screened giant wrap-around porches and lots of history!|Used to be a hotel, will be again in the future and they rent out some cabins now too, but you gotta book early! Every other day of the week a different menu and drinks! Enjoy!!

Had an excellent dinner at the restaurant. We both had seafood which was very fresh and perfectly prepared. Service was also excellent! The key lime pie was the absolute best we’ve ever had and worth a stop just for that. Definitely will be back. Can’t speak to the hotel or rooms, however, the lobby is super cool.

Absolutely freaking love this place. Its such a chill spot to relax and just be. The main building, clubhouse with a great restaurant and bar is like stepping back in time, with old mounts, reliks, and photos since the beginning of its time. Its a great home base for exploring, fishing, and all the other things things the Everglades has to offer, then come back to your cottage and sit around the fire and grill with your friends . Looking forward to our stay next year already 🤙

Stayed at the Rod and Gun club for night prior to a fishing trip. Loved the authentic old Florida charm! This place is the real deal and excellent location. Room was super clean and comfortable except it is was cold outside and the heater in the room didn’t work too great. There is no heat inside the main lodge building so if visiting in the winter dress warm . Dinner at the restaurant was delicious. Enjoyed the stay and will be back.
