Cheeca Lodge and Spa

Cheeca Lodge's history began in 1946, when Mrs. Clara Mae Downey built the Islamorada Olney Inn on the present site. The next owners were the heirs of the A & P grocery chain, Carl and Cynthia "Che-Che" Twitchell, who totally rebuilt and renamed the resort "Cheeca" by merging their names. Cheeca was purchased by Coca-Cola bottler Carl Navarre in the 1970's. The Navarre family still maintains a home on the property. Today, Cheeca Lodge is owned by Cheeca Holdings, LLC and it is managed by Vail Resorts of Vail, Colorado. Cheeca is part of RockResorts, the luxury arm of Vail Resort's hotel brands.

Trophy game fish adorn the walls, along with an extensive photo gallery of the many celebrities that have visited Cheeca. The lounge is named after famed sportscaster Curt Gowdy, known as "The American Sportsman."

The Curt Gowdy Lounge is open nightly.
