You and your group will be the only guests at the property while you are there. You will not be sharing the space with anyone. Keep in mind that this is a very large estate (230 acres!) that requires many types of maintenance—occasionally you may see staff outside on the property (landscape/gardening, cleaning staff, etc), however no one will enter your indoor or outdoor guest areas during your stay. This mansion was designed as two completely private and independent homes. The guest home (built into the hill!) is more than 4600 sq ft inside. Ms. Myra lives in her home on the upper floors of the building and may or may not be at the property during your stay. In any case, there is no overlap between these two homes and you will have complete privacy, including sound!

Spacious home off the grid
This is a huge house off the grid (~30 minutes to Eustis) on 250 acres of pasture at the end of a sandy dirt road! You rent the first floor which has a huge open area with two living room sets, 6 dining tables, and a large kitchen which was well equipped. The very large screened in porch also has several seating areas, then there is a large outdoor pergola, so plenty of space for a LARGE group (50+) to celebrate a special occasion. There are 5 bedrooms with 6 twins and two small queen/double beds. Some of the twins were a little ‘squeaky’ trundle beds. There were four bathrooms, 2 with big open showers (though the water made a mess on the floor with each shower). Decor was well kept, country style. The washer and dryer were nice to have. There is a large grill, and a large screened in pool with a “hot tub” but not heated so too cold to use in February (this was our biggest disappointment and this fact should be added to the VRBO description). Owner was super nice and helpful, and lives upstairs. Sandhill cranes and cattle in the pasture were also fun to see. No lake access yet. Overall very nice place to stay for the eight family members we had…

A Kingdom by the Lake
I can’t wait to come back here, it felt like we were Royalty! There is so much space inside and out that you can do just about anything you want/need. The huge screened porch area with the lounge sofas and grill was a highlight. The pool is also enclosed which is a huge plus. We didn’t get to fish but the lake was beautiful and there is nothing like seeing water and trees in the morning. The inside feels very luxurious but also comfortable with tons of space to spread out, and it was extremely clean despite all of the space and rooms. We are considering using this spot again for an event. Thanks Ms Myra!
