About this property
Little Gem House
We invite you to share in the enjoyment of our long-established “Little Gem House”, nesting on a beautiful corner lot of 3 Acres just 5 minutes outside the heart of Williston, Florida. With no neighbors in sight, our lovely 1920’s home greets you with tons of southern farm charm that you can enjoy all to yourself! Our home is fully furnished with several personal pieces we have acquired over time and supplied with various complementary goods for your visit.
Our Little Gem House features a 2000 SQ FT unique floor plan, offering a warm open sensation with a split design. Equipped with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, we offer one Queen bed, one Full bed and 2 rooms with bunks/twins in each. Sleeping a combined total of 12 guests with smart TVs in each bedroom. In addition, a roll-away bed (110LB Weight Limit) and a pack and play are tucked away if needed.
Complete your picture-perfect farmhouse sleepover with a set of darling porches to sit back and relax on while enjoying your cup of morning coffee or evening cocktail. In addition, there is plenty of open parking to accommodate all your traveling toys.
A few extras: Smoking is not permitted inside. Well behaved animals are welcome with a pet deposit-Please, No Cats. Star Gazing is beautiful with our open night sky and the winter months are likely to provide an opportunity to hear the owls hoot in the early morning hours.
