The Ann Stevens House

The place is not like the picture. Exterior needs a total overhaul, paint, porches etc. The interior first floor is totally restored with antique furniture. Our host, Emily, gave us an historical summary of the property and they had purchased it after it was vacant for years and looted. They did a lot of work and have a modern kitchen, but no breakfast due to covid. LOL Obvious a labor/cost saving move. We did not stay in the main building but inn the carriage house in the back. It was clean and lovely but the huge staircase in then main building was just not what we wanted to climb. We were satisfied but disappointed that there was no guest mingling at a nice breakfast. There was a screened porch off our room so we decided to have a relaxing glass of wine and enjoy the quiet of the nature preserve....until the landscapers came through with the mowers, edgers, and leaf blowers for the next two hours. These grounds are not well groomed and the ruts from the road through the driveway caused the car, and SUV, to bottom out and drag. There's a difference between rustic and unsatisfactory. Its 6-10 miles to food or any shopping. Pass this one up.

It’s an old estate near the Casadega spiritual enclave. The house is gorgeous inside and retired. The outside needs TLC. Closest dining is inDeland, 7 miles away

Well it’s an inn, shocked not a bed and breakfast but covid is long over, quaint rooms, inn keepers helpful wish I knew breakfast wasn’t included and that no bar device but okay, charming nice air conditioning

This is the first time I’ve walked into a Bed and Breakfast that told us where the restaurants nearby are that we could get breakfast. There is a sign in the room that says breakfast is not being served due to Covid protocols. I travel a lot and haven’t found anywhere else in maybe a year that claimed to be operating differently due to Covid, so this sounds like more of an excuse to cut costs. This would be fine of course if they updated their name and website to reflect the fact they are no longer serving breakfast. Perhaps I missed the notification, but I believe I was misled in booking this stay. Otherwise, the room was comfortable and clean and the location is quiet.

The Ann Stevens House was everything you could wish for in Old Florida. Huge camphor trees draped in Spanish moss surround the picturesque house and grounds. I was greeted by a very gracious host and two plump, friendly, orange cats. Inside, my room was fully-appointed. The linens were to die for. The house is only minutes from Cassadaga Spiritualist camp.

Check in was an absolute delight and the room was beyond anything I could have expected. It was so clean, on theme, and so beautiful.

Loved our hostess! She was very informative and welcoming. Too bad no breakfast due to COVID. Would have enjoyed some bottled water. The room was beautiful and the property spectacular.

Historic property, staff took the time to share history of the property and area.

The property is beautiful and our room (deluxe king) was lovely; our private porch excellent. The only problem was that there is no clear check-in procedure, no sign indicating where/how to get key. One is supposed to call the proprietor, but we did not have the number and would not have known that without the assistance of another guest
