Wow! What a wonderful experience in a beautiful home. My husband and I stayed for my birthday weekend. We fell in love with the mansion and Scotty! He is a great host and had the best hospitality. The comfort level was as if I were in my own home & I didn’t have to make breakfast!

My wife and I recently stayed at Villa DeWolf while visiting Jacksonville, the mansion restoration is remarkable and we couldn't have been taken care of any better. Scotty was a great host and we will certainly stay there the next time we are in the town.
