The Serenity Suite at Old Colorado Inn

POOL ACCESS INCLUDED.
Our Serenity Suite (at Ernest Lyons House) is an off-site (200 feet from the Main Hotel Building) 1,100 square foot ground-floor suite located on spacious grounds (approximately 1/2 acre) surrounding a large swimming pool with "Golden Mean" dimensions (44 x 27 foot lap pool) and spa. It is located just steps away from the scenic Riverwalk along the St. Lucie River and the renowned shopping, dining, and entertainment of Historic Downtown Stuart.

This luxurious suite features antique Florida heart-pine flooring, a queen-sized bed in a separate bedroom, a partially-equipped kitchenette, a spacious living area with a convertible queen sofa bed and dining table, one bathroom with jacuzzi tub and shower, and access to the pool and spa with comfortable outdoor furniture and propane fire table.

This suite comprises one-half of the historic Ernest Lyons House which is a Designated Florida Literary Landmark, an honor shared by authors such as Robert Frost and Tennessee Williams. Ernest Lyons, long time editor of the Stuart News and author of "The Last Cracker Barrel" and "My Florida" lived in the home from 1937 until his death in 1990. The Ernest Lyons House was originally built in 1890 (the oldest in Downtown Stuart) and has been recently faithfully restored by local preservationist, Dr. Thomas Connelly. The home served as the town's first schoolhouse in 1891; it was the site of the town's first wedding in 1892; and Stuart's first baby was born in the home in 1897.
