    Relaxing is the word most often used to describe the feeling as you enter another world through the front door, which dates back to the 1700's. Authentically furnished in pre-civil war heirlooms and unpretentious Amish painted pieces, guests leave their hectic world behind to experience life as it was in the early 19th century. Surrounded by sprawling oak trees in a quiet neighborhood and backed up to a county park this B & B is more than just a lodging, it's an experience. Built to replicate an 1820's New England Salt Box, guests feel as though they have "stepped back in time". This Florida Secret has modern conveniences yet exudes the quiet aura of days gone by. The retreat-like setting includes a two unit cottage by the pool (which resembles a lagoon) and three guestrooms in the main house.

    A Walk Back in Time

    Wonderful setting replicating old-country 1700's setting. Home is nearly museum-like and the Amish sweet rolls and toast are scrumptious.
