About this property

Stillhouse Hideaway on a Distillery and organic blueberry/blackberry farm

This is a small apt. that is fully furnished on the top floor of our barn, it approx. 800 sq. feet and roomy, lots of light from many windows. It has been recently updated and has new floors, paint and decor. The apt. is located on our quiet country organic blueberry/blackberry farm and distillery. Plenty of parking for your car/truck or boat. WE ARE ONLY 10 Minutes away from UF Health Leesburg Hospital. We are only about 30 minutes South from The Villages (retirement capital of the world). The apt. is an open flat concept it has one bedroom with one bath/two beds and a full kitchen. We encourage our guests to walk next door to the famous German bakery that is within walking distance or buy and pick some of our yummy blueberries/blackberries. We have just started our very own distillery here on the farm made out of our blueberries and we are the first organic/gluten free distillery in Florida and make moonshine, and brandy. It is now available for sale. Come visit our store for our popular moonshine or pickup one of our homemade pies. We have multiple goodies and unique items for sale. We are conveniently located under an hour to all popular area attractions like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, the beaches of Clearwater or New Smyrna/Daytona. We are 5 minutes away from a very popular and famous golf resort; Mission Inn Golf Resort. We are 20 minutes away from Mt. Dora (antique capital). We are within 10 minutes from I-75 and the turnpike to get to all of your fun adventure spots. We are conveniently located to many kayak venues and this is known to be a popular area for bicyclists. We are across the street (2 minutes walking) from Lake Harris which is famous for fishing tournaments. If you are looking for a small place to call home for a few days or even a few months then you have found the perfect place. We hope you enjoy our place as much as we do.

Another great stay!

This is our second stay at Stillhouse Hideway. This will always be our go to place to stay when visiting my inlaws! The space is so comfortable, nicely decorated and we love having the kitchen and washer/dryer. Amanda is a wonderful host and quick to answer any questions. We feel like the Stillhouse hideaway is our "home away from home" when we visit. We will be back!

It was unique and met our needs perfectly. The owners are very nice and nearby. Lots of special touches made the place homey. Clean and comfortable. Off the beaten path but close to drugstore, grocery stores and places to eat. A short drive from Groveland or Clermont

Super fun and different

I brought 2 teenage boys with me to stay for a nearby basketball tournament. We loved the farmhouse experience from the rustic vibe to the picking of berries & peaches. It was a blast, memories made and an adventure you can't get by staying at a hotel. We ate most of the berries and peaches we picked before we left. They were so good, we had to pick again the morning we left. Nearby bakery you can walk to is also a super tasty bonus.

This was our 2nd stay with Doug & Amanda's property. Just right for us...very clean with everything one would need for a visit. Nicely appointed kitchen, comfortable bed, and all the necessities one would expect. Charging cord for my Bass Boat and close to Hickery Point Ramp for boat launch onto Lake Harris.

This apartment offers a quiet retreat with every convenience you could want. But don’t skip the fun of visiting the distillery and neighboring bakery. Everyone we met was having fun doing their job. Great homemade salsa and jam - and moonshine is a fun experience!

Above and beyond

The property was very clean comfortable and accommodating as listed. The best part of the trip was Amanda her husband DOUG and the family they are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Doug went above and beyond when we had an issue with our motorcycle this is totally a full-service property he was a lifesaver. We have been fortunate to stay at many properties throughout our country and this is by far our favorite. We are looking forward to returning in the near future.

Wonderful Stay!

My husband and I stayed at the Stillhouse Hideaway while visiting my inlaws in Leesburg. The apartment is wonderful...very clean, well stocked kitchen, nicely decorated, comfortable beds, washer and dryer....really everything we needed! The apartment is located in the barn of a working farm which we loved! There is a shop on the farm that sells pies, cheese, their moonshine and more. It is also within walking distance of Yalaha Bakery and Lake Harris. Amanda is a wonderful host! She was so accommodating and communication was excellent! Overall, our stay was perfect. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area!

AMAZING stay!!

This rental is amazing!! Very easy check in process, easy in and out and beautiful overall. Extremely comfy and feels like home. Everything was decorated nicely and very thought-out. We stayed over Christmas and the host even put up a little Christmas tree for us to enjoy during our stay which we thought was a cute touch. Very quiet on the farm and really fun to see the chickens in the morning. Get that country Florida feel but close to everything only a few minutes away. Don't forget about the Moonshine on the property, we bought several bottles to take home to family and it was great! Would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing and gorgeous vacation or even a staycation.
