10/10 Excellent

I can't say enough good things about the Whiskey Mansion Inn. The house is gorgeous, it's been beautifully renovated, and the rooms are lovely. Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed, but it was also exquisitely decorated with excellent attention to detail. The Inn owner was gracious and welcoming, and gave us thoughtful recommendations for seeing the town. His lunch recommendation ended up being the best pizza we've ever had! If you are going to St. Joe, STAY HERE!
