Nicknamed unofficially as the Psychic Capital of the World, what makes Cassadaga so unique is that there are so many psychics living here, it has become a supernatural haven for many.
Nestled in the backwoods between Orlando and Daytona, Cassadaga looks like any other small Florida town on the outside.

Colby. Colby was said to have been instructed by his spirit guide to travel to Florida and open a spiritual center.
Cassadaga has grown over the years, becoming a funky town that snowbirds and other vacationers flock to in order to get their own taste of spirituality.

In 1991, Cassadaga became recognized as a United States Historic District, making it a more popular choice for weekenders looking to explore a bit of Florida fun.
If you’re looking to spend a weekend at this funky, spiritual town, we recommend staying at the Cassadaga Hotel.

Guests have the opportunity to schedule a reading with any medium in town while they visit, in order to get a glimpse into the unknown.

Or maybe you just want to blend in with the locals and snag a few games of Bingo at the local club.

For those Floridians who are looking for a weekend away in one of the most eclectic and spiritually charged places in the state, look no further.
