“Slice of Heaven”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

This was a quaint quirky little place, and the friendly staff made it even better. We just wanted a cheap room on the island, and since things were slow we were upgraded to a cottage overlooking the water at no extra charge. What a treat. We decided to stay longer than planned just because we liked our cottage so much.... More

So glad that you stumbled upon Faraway Inn. No, we are not a 4 star luxury hotel but yes we are definitely quaint, quirky and friendly. You are correct, Faraway Inn was built in the late 40's and is a perfect way to experience Florida Living back in the day. When visiting Cedar Key there are many accommodations to meet... More

This is one of the few places in Florida that will take my Big Girl. Thank you so much for that. The place is adorable and waterfront (no beach but that's OK), the rooms are stylish. I'm really disappointed, though - I was about to book a long reservation and it says, "NOTE: Rooms 10 and 12 currently have 2... More

“Low Key Top Quality Stay”

Reviewed 29 March 2013

We had a nice trip to Cedar Key. The island is so very laid back and extremely dog friendly. There were folks walking, biking and golf carting all over the place. The fuzzy kids were welcomed in many places. But the people were all bundled up like Eskimos, because the temps were highs in the 50’s and lows in the... More

“A good place to hang your hat while visiting Cedar Key”

Reviewed 18 March 2013 via mobile

We stayed at the Faraway Inn for two nights in March. We walked to the grocery store, to restaurants for supper and around town for sightseeing. Launching our kayaks from the beach across the road from the Inn was a nice treat, as opposed to hauling them halfway across town if we had stayed somewhere else. Even at low tide,... More
