Herlong Mansion Bed and Breakfast - Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Herlong Mansion has a long and interesting history that dates back to the early 1800's. Undergoing many renovations and changes, today the mansion is a reminder of time gone by. World famous Southern Hospitality is the signature of the Herlong Mansion where guests feel welcome to make themselves at home. You'll enjoy personal attention without intrusion, service without feeling rushed.  The mahogany inlaid floors, the mission oak woodwork, the ten fireplaces and the high ceilings create a unique feeling the minute you walk in the front door. We've created a tour on our website, but you really must see it all in person to really appreciate its beauty.

The Inn’s wide verandas with their enormous pillars overlook a sprawling lawn of ancient shady oaks and impeccable landscaping. Relax on the oversized, cushioned swings on the second floor veranda, then stroll the antique and gift boutiques of Historic Micanopy, Florida’s oldest inland town, and also a Florida Secret.  At the Herlong, the delicious and delightful pleasures of pampering are yours to enjoy. Settle into a rocking chair on the veranda with a glass of chilled wine. Soak in your private Jacuzzi. Put your feet up. Perhaps you'd like to schedule a private massage or a massage for two. And, for a while, leave the world far behind.
