Stunning Mansion! Great for family gatherings. Hundreds of FIVE STAR Reviews.

Once described as 'perhaps the most palatial home in all of Florida', the magnificent Major Sherman Conant house is available to rent in its entirety. PET FRIENDLY.
Twice rated by Trip Advisor in Top 10% of all properties WORLDWIDE! This 6425 sq ft,
3 story, 8 bedroom, 6.5 bath home is a stunning example of Queen Anne architecture by famed New England architect Rufus Sargent. Property is a 3 minute walk away from beautiful Saint John's river, and only a few blocks away from the Marina and Riverfront Park and the Ravine Garden's State Park! Only 30 minutes away from the Historic city of Saint Augustine. Discounts are made for 7+ nights or more! Although a full service BNB with individual rooms for rent nightly, the entire home can be rented on nights when no other guests are booked. Only book entire home when 100% vacant. Must confirm with host before booking. NOTE: The house has 8 bedrooms but one of those rooms is an office and not available during your stay. However, with the 7 bedrooms, 3 roll-away beds and 3 more 'cubby hole' sleeping areas, you can 'sleep' up to 20 people. Given the historic nature of the home and the valuable furnishings, please do not book this house if you plan to have a wild, celebratory party. The house is just not meant for that. :) However, it is ideal for events such as a Birthday party, wedding or baby shower, meetings, reunions, or simply a place to gather and experience a home like no other. Please call if you have any questions.

VOW RENEWAL
We renewed our marriage vows after 22 years of marriage (pandemic forced us to miss 20 years). Had family and friends attend. Renewal took place on a boat and then we all stayed at the house overnight. Absolutely beautiful home and the host is wonderful.

Waters Wedding
Wonderful, historic property! We thoroughly enjoyed being able to have the family in one house to spend time together before and after the wedding. Ravine Gardens was the wedding venue. The park is so close and beautiful.

A Timeless Treasure
Our family stayed in this wonderful inn for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding in Pomona Park. Everyone loved the inn. We enjoyed the warm greeting and tour by our host, Tate, and appreciated learning about the history of the property. Everyone slept very comfortably in their rooms, and we enjoyed gathering in the parlor and dining room for family conversations. It was a unique experience for our family, one that my in- laws are still talking about. Thank you, Tate, for preserving such a gem for others to enjoy. It was truly delightful.

Blown Away
We rented the INN to host a murder mystery party for me/my wife's birthday. The INN is aesthetically amazing and the amenities were fantastic. Our guests were blown away by the setting it created for the party. I'm sure they will be talking about this for years to come and we plan to come back and do this again, it was a huge success. Tate, the owner, was accommodating, responsive, and kind. He gave me and my wife a tour of the INN before guests arrived and shared the fascinating history and (secret) details of the property. 10/10 experience. Cannot recommend it enough. If you are considering doing something similar here, you will not be disappointed!
