Awesome place great location!
We stayed at the Locke Inn for my cousins wedding and it was perfect for our large family! It was walkable to down town dade city and less than a 4 min walk to The Venue, where they got married! It was fully stocked with extra toiletries, water, towels, for our big group. Loved having so many bathrooms and we didn't feel like we were on top of one another. We loved all of the small details that were added about the history of the place and the decor was top notch. My only suggestion would be to add couches and turn the other half of the dining room into a living room space where people can lounge and hang out somewhere together. Otherwise, no complaints!

Such a fun time
We had a great time at this rental. The kids were were absolutely enthralled by the stories of the jail and the adults all loved the themed rooms. It was close enough to downtown that we walked over for dinner. The checkers table upstairs and the piano downstairs were a hit! We had a great time and made lots of family memories.

Pictures do this property no justice!
Fabulous location. Such a gem and truly beautiful. The pictures truly do this location no justice. A wonderful place for a large group to stay, enjoy shared common areas, and have private rooms with en suite bathrooms. The commercial sized kitchen is also top notch. A block from downtown Dade City, plenty of parking. Love it!
