About this property

Welcome to Fern Hill Inn- Your Home away from Home!

Fern Hill Inn is warm and cozy with modern features, a great place to spend time with family. Everything is new, fresh and clean! Spend time relaxing on the back deck, watching some TV in the family room, maybe hide away behind the barn door and work in the office or simply enjoy a cup of coffee on the huge front porch.

Fern Hill is a 2 bedroom and 2 bath home. The perfect set up for a single couple, a small family or a traveling couple. She also has a killer front porch and a roomy back deck with hot tub.

The home is on a large 1.5 acre lot and is situated above a walkout basement that is not open to renters. Fern Hill Inn is not in a deed restricted neighborhood, so boat and RV parking are welcome, along work vans for our traveling workers.

Great central Citrus location that is close to so much!

A home away from home!

We found Fern Hill to be an inviting, cozy and comfortable home. It was evident that everything had been well thought out, from the homes layout and organization to the starter breakfast items. It truly felt like our home away from home. We’ll definitely be back the next time we are in the area!

Great stay

This place is very comfortable. The best part is the attention to detail from the hosts. There is everything one could possibly need. The kitchen is very well appointed. The hot tub immaculate and the beds comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this vacation rental to anyone. Do not hesitate to stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Stevenson

Host profile image

Love living, working and playing in Citrus County. I've never been a big city kinda girl, but having access to the larger cities only an hour or two away is wonderful.

Why they chose this property

Fern Hill is a rural location. Not a deed restricted neighborhood. You will not find mini mansions, groomed shrubs and HOA associations. You will find large lots, paved roads, kids on bikes, donkeys braying, airboats in the distance, boats in yards and people making a living. Expect casual rural America!

What makes this property unique

Feel at home in Fern Hill. We have tried to think of everything a traveler may need and want. We want you to be comfortable and cozy, and we welcome any suggestions.
