Venues & Event Spaces near Howey-in-the-Hills, FL

“Absolutely breathtaking
The Howey Mansion is one of the most beautiful and historic wedding venues in Central Florida. The architecture, the gardens, the way the light hits the stone, it’s all just stunning. Every room and every corner feels like a step back in time in the best way.

As a wedding photographer, I notice how a space makes people feel, and this venue is pure magic. It’s romantic, elegant, and full of character. Any photographer would be lucky to shoot a wedding here, it’s a dream backdrop for timeless, editorial-style photos.

If you're looking for a venue that truly makes a statement and gives your guests something to remember, The Howey Mansion is unforgettable.

“The Snickers restaurant that beats all restaurants within 60 miles for the very best Saturday night meal. I have enjoyed Saturday night dinners there for over a year. There are 2 restaurants on the property so be sure it is Snickers you are at. The dinner is buffet style with servers regularly checking on you with a smile. They serve Prime Rib, Alaskan King Crab Legs, vegetables, soup, salads and a 15 foot bar of Sushi and Sashimi which are both fish or vegetable, baked salmon, raw clams and oysters. The desert bar is 10 foot long and besides the many cakes, pies, bread putting there is ice cream with chocolate sauce. The restaurant has many soft drinks and a bar which your server will get you the harder drinks and wine. If you take my advice you will come back many many times. There hours are 5 PM to 9 PM.”

“A for real adult wonderland. Heaven. Anything you can think or dream up, it’s here! Been staying in the campground part for about 9 months so far and I never want to leave. Everyone here is so nice and goes over the top to be cool and helpful. There’s usually always something to get into and something going on. You could never get bored here, if you somehow do it’s your own problem! Literally there’s too much to do, I haven’t gotten to half of it. My animals even love it here. Best vibes, best people, best location too, like this is the most beautiful natural Florida it makes me misty eyed daily, but still close to the most world famous tourist attractions and airport. Waited to leave a review cause everything’s always great in the beginning but this place is the real deal, you won’t find nothing like it anywhere! Be cool though, bad vibes and scammers won’t last. I don’t know how I ended up here but I’m so thankful for sure!!!! Come check it out!”

“Man if you're having an event, this is the place. The staff is way above mice. The maintenance man was OFF THE CHAIN. very friendly, and made my visit do easy. Keep that guy.”

“This place is one of my favorite spots to come relax and have a massage. This time around I include lunch at 19 Hole. But to top that off with the Punk Himalayan massage with aromatherapy was amazing. Thank you Michelle.”

“Really nice bowling alley. Lanes are kept up well and alley attendants are readily helpful.
Complaints, you are charged for bowling AND shoe rental even if you have your own ball and shoes! Also only one restroom all the way down at the very utmost FARTHEST end of the alley!!! And finally food menu is pretty limited and both servers seem to have a difficult time being a server, enough said.”

“When I went there, I loved it and one day I was like I can’t skate. I was going so slow but now I can go so fast and I love that place. It is so fun and I love how they close at 9 because time by 9 i’m already tired so that’s why I give it five stars”

“I want to leave this review to thank Ayden (sorry if I’m spelling it wrong) for his great attention the whole time. I celebrated my son’s 10th birthday here and they took care of everything. The staff was very attentive, and the person in charge of the laser tag was also very kind. The kids had a great time and my son loved his party. 10/10 — highly recommended for birthday celebrations!”
