This is one of the oldest buildings in town. It was at one time the Storter residence, who were among the first settlers. During Barron Collier's time in the 1920s it was converted into a wilderness lodge, hence the name Rod and Gun Club. Presidents like Hoover, FDR and Eisenhower have stayed here. It is still a hotel. It is a cool place to take a look around and take some pictures. Be careful though-depending upon which manager is on duty, you might not be able to look around unless you buy a drink. The food is ok, but not worth dining here, especially since they take cash only. However, this is a cool, unique, historic location.

In 1922 Barron G. Collier, a banker and railroad man bought almost all of SW FL including the Rod and Gun Club which he operated as a private club. He hosted international dignitaries and serval US Presidents there
Beautiful waterfront dining! Exceptional Seafood. Excellent for groups. Cash Only.
The Rod and Gun Club is built on the original structure of the first permanent white settler who founded Everglades City in 1864. As the gateway to the Everglades, the Rod and Gun Club was the place to stay over the years with guests including celebrities, dignitaries and several United States Presidents. When you visit this historical landmark Inn and Dining Room, much of the old Florida decor hasn't been changed and it’s like taking a step back in time. Sit on the sweeping porch overlooking the water while sipping a cocktail or dining on a locally inspired menu. Feel like some of the past and present celebrity guests including: Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Hoover and Nixon; John Wayne, Ernest Hemingway, Gypsy Rose Lee, Burt Reynolds, Sally Fields, Jack Nicklas, Roy Clark, Eddie Arnold, Sean Connery, Joe Pesci, Danny Glover, Phil Donahue, Peter Jennings, and the list goes on. This is a great place to take photos or selfies so bring your camera.
