Our second trip to Fish Tales Inn was just as fantastic as the first! The property and home is laid out so well and is perfect for 2-4 people. All the amenities are available and the ping pong table on the screened porch is lots of fun! Loved watching the sandhill crane couple hang out in the back yard. Beds are super comfy and the bathrooms are clean and roomy. Sue is a perfect host and greets you with a smile! This will definitely be our go-to spot when we are visiting our relatives in Interlachen.

We had a fabulous time and the host were very accommodating. We were in the area visiting an old friend and came across this jewel of a place. My husband and I played ping pong on the screened in porch and watched the Sandhill cranes feeding in the yard. Had over 18 turkeys come to visit a couple of times. Well worth a visit.

So glad you enjoyed your time at Fish Tales Inn! Especially playing ping pong and watching wild life. You left too early and missed the eagle trying to snag a duck for breakfast! Come back someday please. Sue & Cork

Loved our stay at Fish Tales! Susan was waiting for us and showed us around. The property was clean and inviting. So comfortable and had everything we needed. Loved sitting on the back porch and enjoying all the nature sounds. Even saw a deer in the road when driving back from the store.Best long weekend ever!

This place exceeded all expectations. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated and fully stocked with anything you'd ever need. The backyard was very peaceful with the occasional visitors of turkeys and Sandhill cranes which only made our stay more special. The owners are amazing! They're warm and caring people who truly want you to experience the best time there. Everything was so perfect. We only wish we could've stayed longer.

I will have to say that Sue was a wonderful and caring host. The kitchen was well stocked. The family room had beautiful views of the outside and I was able to see many of the wildlife. The bedroom had a comfortable bed and the bathrooms were modern and well appointed. You will enjoy staying there.

We absolutely loved staying here! We enjoyed playing ping pong and sitting on the porch in the mornings. We were visiting family who lived nearby and this was the perfect place to come back and relax after a long day. The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the house had great decorations! Sue met us when we arrived and was very attentive throughout the weekend. We definitely recommend staying here!
