The Ann Stevens House

Terrible pillows, I can't understand why people invest a lot of money into properties but neglect the provide the essentials for a good sleep - good pillows. Excessive light into the room at night, property flooded with outside lights all night that shine into the room. Room lacks curtains to block the light at night, so you get a lot of light all night. Couldn't sleep

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

Was very impressed with the Ann Stevens Hotel. 👍

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.

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.

The room was beautiful and the screened porch was an added bonus! I loved the property! The staff was so kind and informative. Close to town, trail and parks. I will definitely be going back, met great people during our stay also.

The owner is friendly and accommodating. Parking is great and the grounds are kept immaculate. The inside is clean and it is decorated well. The room we stayed in was spacious with a quaint screened in porch and rocking chairs to enjoy the outside. Very quiet and relaxing location.

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.

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