Cypress Lodge proudly holds its place on the National Register of Historic Places, officially recognized on November 12, 2008 by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior in Washington, D.C.
Formerly known as the Cypress Lodge Motel and Guest House, this treasured property stands as an enduring symbol of Florida’s heritage and Southern hospitality.
Listed through the Florida Department of State’s Bureau of Historic Preservation and designated as a Martin County landmark, the Lodge is a part of Florida’s storied history—nestled in Port Mayaca, just across from the shimmering waters of Lake Okeechobee. Its preservation honors both the craftsmanship of its 1936 construction and the generations of travelers who have passed through its welcoming doors.

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."
