The Willis House Historic Home Retreat on 6 Acres and 35 Live Oak Trees

Get away from the city and enjoy this unique one of a kind property built in 1917. Newly remodeled with the essential modern conveniences. Enjoy the view from one of the many porches. Eat in kitchen screen porch with the view of the oak trees is the perfect place for breakfast. Large kitchen for cooking or gatherings. The home is so large, nearly 6000 sq feet H/C, each guest will find their own space to disappear and relax for a while. Even spreading out to the 4000 sq foot of porches. Board games and cards are available to play in the game room or any of the many tables throughout the house.

The property is a great place to walk and admire the 200 + year old oak trees. There were 6 original out buildings on the property and you can see the remnants of 5 of them. Hurricane Michael destroyed or damaged all of them in some way in 2018. All built around the civil war era. The property is very peaceful and perfect for a family gathering or office retreat. With 6 bedrooms there is room for everyone. Enjoy the outside on the brick patio.

The house is located in Greenwood FL which is centrally located to Dothan, AL, Tallahassee, FL, Panama City, FL (all within an hour drive) and Pensacola, FL (two hour drive). The closest town is Marianna FL about 10 min drive with shopping and larger grocery stores.

Everyone enjoy the spaciousness of the property...The Host was available at anytime that we needed anytime...Overall the house was very clean, but there were a few cobwebs and some incidents of insects; this is generally expected in an older house...

I love everything about this property. Karen and her family were lovely. The rooms were so beautiful. The entire house was so functional. It was a perfect visit for myself and my family for my 50th birthday and I am so grateful to Karen and her family for making me and my family feel important. It is a special place. We will be back.

The Willis House
We really enjoyed our stay at the Willis House. Our only problem was not being there very much to really enjoy it! We were staying for my son’s wedding that was in Marianna, and it was so convenient to stay there. The house was very clean, and there was plenty of room to enjoy family that stayed with us, but also could get away from them for unwinding. The kitchen was well equipped with the things we needed, and large enough for large groups. I would definitely stay there again if I had to do it all over again. I thought this would also be a great venue for a small wedding.

Amazing house for the whole Family
The Willis house was the perfect place to stay for the Miss North Florida pageant. There was plenty of room for girls, dresses, and grandparents who tag along to watch! The house is close to the Florida Caverns State park and a few other interesting spots. There is not much around so the peace and quiet are great for sleeping in and relaxing. The kitchen is nice, bedrooms are large, and there is a ton of common space.
