Avery Store & Motel

“We spend the summers camping along the St. Joe river and frequent the Avery Store for supplies and tips on fly fishing. The new owners are very friendly, helpful and provide outstanding service. They go above and beyond- One example is my husband was hunting last year and when he was taking his Elk to the walk in cooler at the store, he lost his hunting knife. However, he did not realize he had dropped it at the store. The owner found it and kept it until he saw us again this year for camping season. Please support this business and their wonderful family. It is a wonderful community and we want to see them succeed for years to come.”

“Come for the fishing, stay for the biscuits and gravy. Great place to get some grub after a long day of fishing and a great place to start your day off. Will definitely be returning.”

“We rented a room for two nights as we love exploring the Avery area. The building is very old but very clean, lots of room, a full kitchen, and the bed was very comfortable. The service at the store and restaurant were both excellent and the pizza was fantastic with a great beer selection. The outside seating is awesome and a great place to unwind after a long day of playing. The only complaint is that the bar/restaurant needs to stay open to at least 9! Thanks for a fantastic weekend.”

“If you need food, beer, fuel, liquor, or some fishing gear this is a great place and these guys are always super nice! I definitely recommend them if you need anything this far up the St Joe!”

“The folks there are super friendly, the room was clean and comfy, and having a store right on site was a fantastic bonus. I'm absolutely planning a return trip – major props to the owners and the entire Avery crew for delivering such a fantastic experience.”

“We stopped by the store on our side by side while on the way to fly fish the St. Joe. We enjoyed a couple of hot dogs, the biggest cookie I’ve ever seen and picked up some local beers to try. They are a hopping place and although the beer was a tad pricey it’s come to be expected for the convenience and location so we didn’t mind! We enjoyed a drink while fly fishing and we made sure to toss our trash responsibly!”
