An Elegant Florida Bed and Breakfast Inn
Quincy, Florida

Inn Architecture

The McFarlin house was designed by William Carr, a New York architect and was built in 1895. It exemplifies true Victorian Queen-Anne style in both charm and beauty and upon first glance, is noted for the true Southern wrap-around verandah that awaits guests with rockers, benches and swings for relaxation. Mr. McFarlin was a businessman who loved to entertain and show his wealth within his home. Just a few of the magnificent features are:

• Seven of thirteen original stained-glass window pieces

• Hand-carved fireplace mantles imported from Europe

• Exquisite tile work from Italy

• Brass and copper-sculpted ceilings

• Original curved corner windows

• Extinct hard burled curly pine woodwork throughout downstairs

• 14' ceilings and 10' wide hallways

• Seven working fireplaces

• Grand staircase in entry parlor

• Original carriage port

Upon stepping through the front double beveled doors and strolling down the main hallway, you'll immediately feel the welcoming hospitality and understand what makes this home special to all of those who have already experienced its uniqueness. Picture yourself pulling up underneath the carriage port, just as the McFarlins and their guests did with a horse and buggy 100 years ago. 

The grounds at the McFarlin House are constantly changing with the seasons. The large variety of camellias bloom from December through February and then the brilliant pink Japanese Magnolia trees show their beauty. Spring brings day lilies and jasmine, along with gladiolus and the leather leaf mahogany. Hydrangeas of many varieties, climbing gloriosa and crape myrtle trees color the summer. The fall brings the splendor of the grand Ginko tree that boasts the colors of autumn and surprise lilies that pop up everywhere. 

Be our guest and help yourself to a complimentary Coke or bottled water from the Courtesy Room and relax on the ¾ wrap-around porch or stroll the grounds. The McFarlin House is located midst the 32-block Historical District of Quincy and is surrounded by historical homes. Walking tour booklets are available.
