Whippoorwill Lodge House

The lodge house was built nearly 90 years ago making Whippoorwill the oldest fishing destination on amazing Lake Talquin that’s still open today. You can bet, that many an angler has stayed here since those early fish camp days. And, while there have been countless changes made over the years, the original cabin’s nostalgic feel casts a sense of relaxed excitement. Along with a clean, comfortable vacation rental, the camp’s conveniences, lingering history, and scenic setting enhance your Lake Talquin experience

The lakefront lodge accommodates 2-12 adventure-seeking guests. The entire lodge with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 2 kitchens comfortably sleeps 5-12 guests. For smaller groups, we offer the 2/2 Sunrise or the lakefront, 3/2 Sunset lodge house wings

When is the best time to…

Fish Talquin

Lake Talquin is a north Florida gem! Exceptional largemouth bass & crappie fishing. View abundant wildlife in their natural habitat. Outdoor opportunities are galore.

Whenever you can get away!

The Whip Waterfront Pub

Unfortunately Closed
for a long Lake Talquin Minute!

Back in 93, “The Whip” began sharing the great view, serving good grub, and pouring pints. 25+ years later, we decided to close for an extended hiatus.
