Gem in the center of Williston

We were a small group of horse riders from Canada spending 3 weeks in Williston as a home base for Winter training and showing. The house is very spacious and can comfortably accommodate fairly large groups. Perfectly located in the center of Williston which is equal distance from Gainesville and Ocala, very convenient. The owner and host, Lee, was a delight to interact with. She is a caring host that wants her guests to have the best possible stay. She is very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend staying at this property, we will surely return in the future!

Christmas Joy

My family and I so enjoyed this wonderful Victorian home in Williston, Florida. Li, our hostess, had decorated the house beautifully for the Christmas season and it was warm and inviting! When the coffee maker went on the blink, we had a replacement by the next morning! I would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting a lovely home for a family gathering just 30 minutes away from Gainesville:)

About the host

Hosted by Lee Mary Whitted

I have fun bringing friends and family to the Florida Keys for Charter Boat fishing. I enjoy being a mother of 3 and grandmother of 8 children ranging from the ages of 6 years old to 19 years old. We love to ride our horses and go fishing. I grew up in Boca Raton and moved to Gainesville to go to college. I am a massage therapist who specializes in structural massage, sports massage, therapeutic massage, aroma therapy and hot stone. I work in Gainesville 4 days per week and on Fridays I get the pleasure of working in Williston. I presently live in a nice home that my husband built on a small, spring fed lake, in Hawthorne, FL. I am blessed to have the opportunity to go a Spirit Filled Church at the United Pentecostal Church of Gainesville.
