Historic Parker House was built in the late 1890's by Jasper Newton Parker, one of Florida's original cattle barons. Kay and Leonard have captured the elegance of that time with authentic antique furnishings and Victorian decor. Guestrooms also reflect the elegance and style of that bygone era. A suite of rooms share a sitting porch and bath, while the other three feature larger rooms, each with private bath, cable TV and telephone. Other areas of the house are open to guests, including the living room, dining room and veranda. A central cooling and heating system has been installed to make the house comfortable in all seasons.
All guests enjoy a sitting porch immediately off their room, overlooking the half acre of property and 100 year old oak trees. The Victorian Parlor awaits your arrival. A large collection of antique books and comfortable seating by the gas fireplace allows guests to relax and interact.
