This is a compound of small buildiings, including 4 built in the early 1900's, now on the National Register of Historic Places. On the South side of the Miami River, it seems light-years away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Miami, though just a walk across the bridge.
We first stayed there in the early 80's, when they were in the process of renovating the original boarding house, and really enjoyed our stay then. Life happened, and we didn't make it back until now. We were pleasantly surprised by what they've done, with the well-kept grounds, quiet spaces and shady tropicals. The staff is very welcoming and eager to please. The bar and restaurant were closed during our stay (in the early part of the week) so we didn't get to check that out. But we'll be back!!
