You can't miss this Depression-era two-story redbrick structure on a quiet corner a few blocks from peaceful Lake DeFuniak—just look for the two-tone 1937 Buick permanently moored out front. Each room has a different theme decor, from Asian to Art Deco to French country, and contains a combination of period antiques and reproductions. At the hotel restaurant, Bogey's (850/951-2233), the dinner menu centers around fresh gulf seafood, yet also includes chicken, steak, and veal. It's an unusual find in a small town, and one of the nicer places to stay in this part of the Panhandle. Pros: applause for the owners who created a sweet little retreat in the heart of downtown. Cons: DeFuniak can be eerily empty and quiet at night.
