Tavares, Florida Travel Guide

"A walkable downtown boutique hotel with kitchenettes, balconies offering lake views, an outdoor pool, and a garden with a firepit for cool winter nights. The property connects guests directly to several on-site food-and-drink options (and offers a 10 percent discount at those spots for guests). Owner Hillary Perry, who also runs a nearby ice cream shop, says her favorite time is the holiday season: “The annual Candyland Christmas Celebration & Parade truly transforms the area into a magical winter wonderland. The festive atmosphere, the dazzling lights, and the joyous events make it a special experience.”" - Terry Ward Terry Ward Terry Ward is a writer covering family travel, culture, scuba diving, and more.
