To Our Visitors, We’re Happy to Welcome You Back

During this unprecedented event, it is our mission to keep our residents and visitors informed and focus on the health and safety of all those who live or travel to the Sebring, Avon Park and Lake Placid area.

During this uncertain time, we know one thing – we appreciate all of you; many of whom are our repeat visitors, our family, who have been coming to our destination for years.

While we understand that this may impact travel plans, we want to keep you updated with the steps we are taking to keep your health and safety a priority and remind everyone to travel responsibly. For the most up to date COVID-19 information, please refer to the Florida Department of Health – Highlands County website here.

Our hotels, restaurants, attractions, and golf courses are currently open for business in a modified way while adhering to local, state, and federal guidelines. They have increased disinfecting and social distancing measures to help ensure the safety of our visitors and employees. We encourage you to enjoy our abundance of natural resources, support our local businesses, and enjoy the calm disconnectedness that the beautiful outdoors can provide.  While you are here, check out our Friends + Family passport for discounts at nearly 20 local businesses.
