If your tastes are more eclectic, you may want to reserve one of four available rooms at the F.A. Sebring Mansion Inn & Spa just about five more minutes away. This newly restored historic mansion will begin taking overnight accommodations starting August 1st, but make your reservations now. I toured the place and it is gorgeous. Still no confirmed price yet other than it will be between $100 and $200 per night and may I say, worth every penny!
