History is Back!
Once Upon A Time...
If you ever find yourself wandering through the southeastern outskirts of the Lake Okeechobee area, you will discover a sweet little gem in Canal Point called The Cypress Lodge.
The Cypress Lodge founded its name....
"Paul M. Hoenshel purchased 7 acres of property from the Phipps Family. In September 1935, he employed premier builder Isaac Matthew Elkins to begin construction of a fine three and a half story hotel, in neo~classic revival style, which would also serve as the Hoenshel home. Attractively built among the tall oaks and cypress trees, it would be appropriately named The Cypress Lodge."

On November 12, 2008, The Cypress Lodge was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
