The Grady House is a comfortably elegant bed & breakfast inn with a dash of southern hospitality. Decorated in early twentieth-century charm, it is easy to imagine a time when the pace was a little slower and people had time for the finer things in life.

Wake up to famous breakfasts each morning of your stay, then the choice is yours: sip lemonade on the front porch swing, stroll through the extensive gardens, curl up with a good book in front of the fireplace or settle in the gazebo for an afternoon nap in the inn's oversized hammock. Hot, fresh cookies are served every day along with lemonade in the warmer months, and hot apple cider when there is a chill in the air.

The many antique and curio shops of historical High Springs are just a short walk away from the Grady House, and bicycles are available for guests who want to explore the quaint, small town. Within driving distance are some of the world's most beautiful springs and state parks where guests enjoy many activities such as swimming, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, snorkeling, or SCUBA diving. Gainesville is only 30 minutes away, and the famous Micanopy Antique Shops are less than an hour's drive.

The Grady House offers five rooms, each with it's own private bath. All rooms are tastefully appointed with turn-of-the-century furnishings and are as individual as the guests who stay in them. The Blue room has a nautical theme, while the Peach room features an old fashioned water closet; the Green room offers the best views of the garden, and the Yellow room is a peaceful haven for weary souls. For those who are romantically inclined, ask about the Red room, your hosts guarantee "you've never seen a room like this!"
