Everyone enjoy the spaciousness of the property...The Host was available at anytime that we needed anytime...Overall the house was very clean, but there were a few cobwebs and some incidents of insects; this is generally expected in an older house...

I love everything about this property. Karen and her family were lovely. The rooms were so beautiful. The entire house was so functional. It was a perfect visit for myself and my family for my 50th birthday and I am so grateful to Karen and her family for making me and my family feel important. It is a special place. We will be back.

The Willis House
We really enjoyed our stay at the Willis House. Our only problem was not being there very much to really enjoy it! We were staying for my son’s wedding that was in Marianna, and it was so convenient to stay there. The house was very clean, and there was plenty of room to enjoy family that stayed with us, but also could get away from them for unwinding. The kitchen was well equipped with the things we needed, and large enough for large groups. I would definitely stay there again if I had to do it all over again. I thought this would also be a great venue for a small wedding.

Amazing house for the whole Family
The Willis house was the perfect place to stay for the Miss North Florida pageant. There was plenty of room for girls, dresses, and grandparents who tag along to watch! The house is close to the Florida Caverns State park and a few other interesting spots. There is not much around so the peace and quiet are great for sleeping in and relaxing. The kitchen is nice, bedrooms are large, and there is a ton of common space.
