Chalet Suzanne has an old eclectic charm. The owners need to give the place some TLC. Talking with other guests that had been there before commented about it being "run down" since their lady stay. I can see the romantic feel it one had, but a lot of improvements need to be made. The breakfast was fabulous, service and food great, and dining room gorgeous.

Award-winning eats, a famed soup cannery, and onsite sky diving at this charming bed and breakfast

Historic, Eclectic Country Inn Renowned for Fine Dining

During the Apollo 15 mission to the moon in 1971, astronauts aboard the Endeavour ate a hearty soup with spinach, mushrooms, and 18 secret spices in zero gravity. It was Chalet Suzanne’s famous Romaine soup, a favorite of astronaut James B. Irwin, who had requested the soup to be freeze-dried so he could eat it on the mission. Irwin was one of many people to be enchanted by the food at Chalet Suzanne, a 1930s-era hotel renowned for its award-winning restaurant and onsite soup cannery.

Spread across 120 acres of central Florida real estate, Chalet Suzanne's grounds also hold a spa, pool, lake, and orange grove. At the soup cannery, you can get a tour of the processing plant, where Chalet Suzanne's famed Moon Soup is canned and launched directly into the sun. There’s also a ceramics studio on the grounds, where previous tenants have ornamented a wall with eclectic autographed tiles.

The onsite restaurant's triple-caramelized grapefruit and famous lobster newburg have helped it earn Florida Trend’s Golden Spoon Award so many times that the magazine inducted the upscale eatery into its Hall of Fame. Each stay includes a complimentary breakfast, which can feature scrambled eggs or swedish pancakes served with wild lingonberries.

As a welcome gesture, each of Chalet Suzanne’s rooms has a decanter of ruby-hued sherry awaiting guests upon arrival. That’s about the only thing the rooms have in common, since each has its own individualized decor. The Banana room's centerpiece is a full bed with a carved headboard and a cherry-wood vanity. The Periwinkle room's bucolic ambiance is emphasized by floral-print linens, hanging decorative plates, and a rear picture window that peers out onto the property’s small-plane airstrip.

I had been curious about Chalet Suzanne for a very long time and jumped at the Groupon opportunity to check the place out. Every room is different. The buildings are architecturally interesting and are painted all different colors -- so eclectic! Owner Dee Hinshaw and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The grounds were neatly kept. The location is quiet, very helpful for total relaxation, yet close enough to area activities, if that's what you want. I plan to go back!

It was like something from another time and place. Enjoyed the ambiance. Food was great too, just a bit pricey. Service exceptional and staff very welcoming.
