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.

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.

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

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!

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!

Cute apartment above a barn like building. Nice working farm with chickens and ducks to watch if you like. No rooster though, so no early wake ups. Loved the experience and plan on staying again soon!

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.

Relaxing getaway

My husband and I are on a road trip and decided to stay a few days at this farm. Yalaha is a nice little town (that we learned was growing quickly!) The owners were out of town so we didn't get to learn about the farm or distillery, but we enjoyed exploring on our own. Our adventures included walks in the woods and to the lake, sampling all of the flavors of the farm's homemade moonshine and goodies in their farm store, enjoying music and baked goods at the German bakery next door, a wonderful tour of Howey Mansion, a winery tour and tasting at Lakeridge and dinner overlooking the lake at Boondocks. Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful. The apartment had everything we needed and was quiet and peaceful. They even left a basket of goodies for us! We would definitely return again.

Amazing Place, Host and Family

This was a very clean, well planned out and spacious studio apartment, with a place for everything! The host, Amanda, husband Doug and daughter Emily were all very welcoming, kind and helpful in any way needed, always quickly responding to any questions we had. We had everything we needed for a 2 month visit! Kitchen is well stocked, dishes, pots, pans, spices, paper products, many unexpected items. There was a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and fresh eggs in fridge, upon arrival, plus some snacks! A distillery/country store on their property makes Moonshine, homemade jams & jellies, we brought home for gifts, plus many other homemade items. We had their homemade chicken pies and fruit pies which were a must have....delicious!! The personal size pies are huge,1 will feed 2 people! The bed, sofa and chair are very comfortable. We loved watching, and sometimes feeding, the chickens/roosters in pen near our entrance, many different kinds, each with own personality!!! A great place for us to just relax and rest, very quiet and private! Very convenient for visiting many popular attractions. We enjoy Orange Blossom Opry in Weirsdale, they now serve burgers, hot dogs, sundaes, etc, wish we had known before attending, they looked delicious, new since we were last there!! We could say so much more about this wonderful home away from home! We had our dog, was able to take her outside without a leash, she loved it there! We will return here if possible. Thanks again!!

Great Place To Stay

Our stay at the blueberry farm was more than we expected. We loved the studio apartment that had everything we needed. It was beautifully decorated and so clean and inviting. Driving down the road set the tone for a truly country feeling. We were greeted by the chickens in their pen and the rustic decorations and welcome signs at the door. We are older and the stairs were short and doable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The cable tv and internet were great. I had a Zoom conference call one evening and it went without a glitch. The 2 beds were comfortable and we loved the quiet for sleeping. We never heard the chickens as they were away from the beds but enjoyed seeing them when we came in and out. Our hosts were amazing. They coordinated our checkin, met us when we arrived, talked to us many times as we walked around and responded to whatever we needed. We loved learning about the farm and quaint distillery. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed walking to the Bootlegging Shop and tasted, learned about how it’s done, and bought some delicious pies, pottery mugs, and blueberry moonshine. Of course, we also walked to the German Bakery for breakfast and it was hard to make choices. Mmmmm. We were there on the weekend, so we also enjoyed listening to the musicians. We are already discussing when we can come back and look forward to another stay. What a wonderful, restful place to be.

City meets Farm Life

This barnyard apartment was a fun stay for a couple of "City Slickers". We thought this would be a great place to stay for our Thanksgiving holiday. We ordered a head a chicken pot pie, for our day of arrival from the little bake shop. It was delivered soon after arrival. So yumny and a easy supper. We loved having the chickens just below and watching them file into their coop at night fall. We had a room with a view. The kitchen was great and I made a full Thanksgiving dinner using disposable tin baking pans. The weather was perfect so we kept the windows open with screens the entire time. It was like being in a tree house or screened porch. It is very "farmish". Not fancy but just what we needed. Amanda and her daughter Gracie both met us at check in and gave a walk through along with other local information. The hired help in the bootleg company were also friendly. I bought a bottle of moonshine to bring home. We came home from a dinner out to find a dozen fresh eggs on the porch with a nice note from Amanda. I walked next door to the German Bakery for a great breakfast and came home with some goodies for later. The living area was cozy with comfortable sofa and easy chair. We watched the Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade and three football games. There is a great Publix grocery store three miles down the road. We were in the country surrounded by blueberry fields but yet close to everything we needed. We had a great dinner at Boondockers on the lake. It was a short drive. We ate on the patio overlooking the lake. We will return to enjoy a relaxing place on the farm. Thank you to Amanda, Gracie and crew for the great hospitality! Mary Jane Brooks
