About this property

A unique vacation resort- former Florida Governor’s family estate lake house

What about staying in a historical house - the once Governor’s family home with full of antiques and stories-including hidden uncovered gold coins-while enjoying a five star hotel bed & bath amenities with sound sleep? What about sitting at the beach watching sunrise or having a drink on the porch toasting the full moon? What about taking a morning walk in the garden like yard and being greeted by the red canaries?What about staying quiet counting the cranes wandering on the back yard and watching the squirrels chasing among the trees? A lot of details telling the combined taste of life and art, west and east, southern style and oriental touch. Truly one of a kind experience not to be missed!
Only 40 minutes from University of Florida and Jacksonville and situated by the most desirable spring feed Crystal Lake. Open to events and weddings.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features 2 bathrooms and space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.
