Hotel Information

In the early 1800s settlers would log cypress trees down the creek and use them to make shingles for the roofs of the settlers’ homes. Thus, the settlers gave the creek its name “Shingle Creek.” One of the first settlements in the region was called Shingle Creek and was located east of the Shingle Creek waterway. Shingle Creek is known as the headwaters to the Florida Everglades. In 1840, a trading post opened near Shingle Mill at the low water crossing point on Shingle Creek, which is a stone’s throw away from the hotel. It is Rosen Shingle Creek’s intent to bring back the old Florida Frontier.

Nestled along Shingle Creek, the headwaters of the legendary Florida Everglades, our facility is surrounded by enchanting flora and wildlife, much of which has been preserved to create a natural backdrop for this magnificent property. In fact, harmony with the environment is an idea that strongly represents all aspects of Rosen Shingle Creek.

Guests looking for a natural retreat have a variety of options from which to choose. Nature fans will likely want to venture out and immerse themselves in the fantastic Florida surroundings. The hotel’s robust eco-tourism offerings include nature trails for walking and birding, plus seasonal fishing by reservation along the legendary Shingle Creek.
