Welcome to The Chassahowitzka Hotel

So, how do you pronounce it and where the heck is it? Locals just call it "Chaz", but we’ve heard it called everything from "Chassawiska", "Chazzawiki" and (my favorite) "Chassawhiskey, but any of these will work when asking directions to one of the best kept secrets on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
The name translated from Timucan Indian means "Place of the Hanging Pumpkins," but those in the know call it an angler’s slice of heaven.
The hotel lies a short distance from one of Florida's most beautiful rivers, slowly revealing itself through a living curtain of foliage, as a startling blue oasis in a surrounding world of brown and green, a lovely combination of marsh, semitropical forest, ,and canopied water trail.
