The Willis house was the perfect size and layout for our large family, we were able to cook, eat together in the dining room, had enough bathrooms for everyone to get ready without long wait times. The host was very welcoming and provided a lot of information on the house and the area.

Amazing house for the whole Family

The Willis house was the perfect place to stay for the Miss North Florida pageant. There was plenty of room for girls, dresses, and grandparents who tag along to watch! The house is close to the Florida Caverns State park and a few other interesting spots. There is not much around so the peace and quiet are great for sleeping in and relaxing. The kitchen is nice, bedrooms are large, and there is a ton of common space.

We enjoyed the properties rich history, giant bedrooms, social rooms, and the many porches. At night we used the fire pit and grill while enjoying the night sky far from any light pollution. The house was fully furnished, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare big group meals, and the women in our group loved the restrooms and showers.The owner was easy to get a hold of and very responsive to our requests. We will be rebooking soon.

Thanksgiving at the Willis House

Myself and seven family members stayed for four nights at the Willis House. It was an amazing house. The neighborhood was very quiet, and there was more than enough room for all of us. We even had a few family members that couldn’t find their bedrooms or remember where their bedroom was at. Very nice layout and very comfortable. We will be booking again.

BREATHTAKING

I love everything about this property. Karen and her family were lovely. The rooms were so beautiful. The entire house was so functional. It was a perfect visit for myself and my family for my 50th birthday and I am so grateful to Karen and her family for making me and my family feel important. It is a special place. We will be back.

Hiking Group Weekend

Everyone enjoy the spaciousness of the property...The Host was available at anytime that we needed anytime...Overall the house was very clean, but there were a few cobwebs and some incidents of insects; this is generally expected in an older house...

The Willis House

We really enjoyed our stay at the Willis House. Our only problem was not being there very much to really enjoy it! We were staying for my son’s wedding that was in Marianna, and it was so convenient to stay there. The house was very clean, and there was plenty of room to enjoy family that stayed with us, but also could get away from them for unwinding. The kitchen was well equipped with the things we needed, and large enough for large groups. I would definitely stay there again if I had to do it all over again. I thought this would also be a great venue for a small wedding.

My home away from home

Karen is a great person to work with and the house is awesome. I did my maternity photo shoot there and I would've chose no other place. I stayed at the property for my 50th birthday and I just knew that the next special occasion I would celebrate - I would be back here. Karen assisted me with finding a wonderful photographer AND a hair and makeup person. That would be the only thing that would be a negative of this place is that the city that surrounds it, is so small that it doesn't have some basic things that a large town does. However, it is also that small town feel that makes this place special. I love this place and I will be back.
