I recently flew from Seattle, Washington to Florida to attend the wedding of my beloved friend. I was looking forward to this event for several reasons: This is my dear friend who, late in life, reconnected with the Love of her Life and was marrying him; the Blessed event was being held at an Historical Mansion in a charming little...

Don't have a wedding there..... Owner was rude to guest, florist and the bride! The bride spent a great deal of money to rent this property for a wedding. Big disappointment for so much money! Because of the owners' lack of people skills and business sense, the rules kept changing on a hourly basis. Even though the bride rented the... More

No, I didn't get to stay at the Herlong. And after my experience with them so far, I will never stay there. Back on Feb. 28, I was desperate to find a room in the Gainesville area for my son's graduation from UF on May 3. I finally found the Herlong Mansion and made a reservation for two rooms for... More

OMGosh, talk about getting away from it all and going to an unspoiled old town in Florida. We spent a very nice long week-end there to celebrate our 35th Wedding Anniversary, and stayed in the Azalea Suite. The grounds were beautiful, and the "house" was more like a warm and cozy "home" than a house. The pillow top bed mattress... More

This is the worst B&B we've ever visited! The room appeared to have never had a "deep" cleaning--especially the bathroom. The furniture was very cheap. The entry door to the room had a wide crack between the door and frame, such that you could see into the room from the hall. I had to put a blanket over it to... More

My husband and I stayed one evening at the Herlong. The good: the staff was courteous. The cookies were yummy. We appreciated the wine in the afternoon. The not so good: this b&b is way overpriced. We paid $149 for one night. Our room was musty smelling. I enjoyed the porch off our room, but needed to clean the chairs... More

The Herlong Mansion is truly a gem. The owners have preserved its grace and improved the home with meticulous attention to detail. The rooms are cared for with love and the trees and gardens are wonderful. Sit on the veranda with a glass of wine or cup of tea and feel your pulse slow. Stroll the grounds in beloved peace... More

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay for the night in Micanopy. It was our second wedding anniversary and we found the Herlong Mansion online. We called repeatedly to no answer for the better part of an afternoon. We called every number that was available and finally left a message for callback. No call took place.... More

The Inn itself was lovely and clean but the owners were not very friendly and the breakfasts were puny and we had no choices; tea and coffee were off brands, food was often lukewarm and bland. There were very few "extras" , the "free" wine was undrinkable and the cookies were gone five minutes after having been put out and... More
