About this farm stay rental
Built in 1926 from recycled railroad timbers, this farmhouse was once a working blackberry farm, with the surrounding woods home to free-ranging pigs. The original family has called Inverness home for over 100 years, and we’ve lovingly restored this farmhouse to honor its roots while welcoming guests today.
Whether you’re planning a quick getaway, a winter escape, an extended work assignment, or a seasonal stay, Old Place offers something increasingly rare — a peaceful home with history, space, and privacy. The open living area centers around a cozy fireplace, while the farmhouse dining table invites long meals and evenings of good conversation. The fully equipped kitchen features double ovens, butcher-block countertops, and everything needed to enjoy the pleasure of cooking at home.
Start the morning with coffee on the front porch swing as songbirds fill the trees. Spend the afternoon on the screened back porch overlooking the property. Grill dinner beneath the oaks, then gather around the fire pit as the stars come out and resident owls begin to call. Children and visiting grandchildren have room to play, explore, and enjoy the simple freedom of being outdoors.
For cyclists, Old Place is particularly special. The renowned 47-mile Withlacoochee State Trail is a half mile away, offering one of Florida’s most scenic paved cycling experiences through forests, alongside lakes, and through charming small towns. Ride into historic downtown Inverness for breakfast, locally owned cafés, boutique shopping, and the popular Saturday morning farmers market. Recently named the #2 Best Small Town in the South by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, Inverness has earned its reputation as Florida’s “Small Town Done Right” — a lively courthouse square, live music, and year-round festivals just minutes from your door.
Fort Cooper State Park is directly across the street, along with lakes, golf courses, fishing, boating, and hiking. Florida’s Antique Mall is just around the corner, with additional antique shops scattered throughout downtown Inverness.
Beyond Inverness, the best of Florida’s Nature Coast awaits. Crystal River is famous for its spring-fed waters and gentle manatees, who gather in the warm springs during cooler months. Guests can kayak, paddle, or join a guided tour to see them up close. Spend a day floating the crystal-clear Rainbow River, or visit the famous mermaids of Weeki Wachee. Old Place offers an ideal middle ground — the Gulf Coast is within easy reach to the west, Florida’s Atlantic beaches to the east, and Orlando’s theme parks close enough for a day trip.
Old Place is more than a place to stay. It is a chance to experience a quieter, more timeless side of Florida — one filled with natural beauty, small-town charm, and room to breathe.
