Everglades Rod & Gun Club

The Everglades Is One of America's Most Overlooked National Parks—Why You Should Visit

"Housed in a building that grew out of an 1890s trading post, this characterful town club feels like Americana incarnate: dark wooden furniture and floors, tasseled lampshades, wicker chairs on a screened porch, an antique cash register, and a bar lined with stuffed bobcats and mounted deer heads. At reception a huge alligator head 'mouth agape' presides, and the property has hosted five presidents and a celebrity roster that 'runs the gamut from John Wayne to Mick Jagger,' making it one of the most characterful places to stay in South Florida." - Stanley Stewart Stanley Stewart Stanley Stewart is a multi-award-winning travel writer and author of three acclaimed books.
