5 minutes to EverBank Stadium, Historic Home, Koi Pond, Amazing Garden, BBQ, Firepit, Games

Willkommen im Gartenhaus!



Would you ever imagine finding Garten Haus just outside of Downtown Jacksonville? A peaceful oasis of greenery, plants, koi ponds, outdoor BBQ and Firepit - an amazing escape in a historic home built in 1935 and located in the Historic Springfield neighborhood! Experience our city filled with rich history, delicious cuisine, and lots of fun things to do.



Sitting on half an acre just outside of downtown, the beauty of the custom wood work and real wood parquet floors throughout ensures the unique and vintage touches you've been searching for. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee on the second story balcony overlooking a custom garden 25 years in the making. The garden features an eight foot deep garden Koi Pond with beautiful fountains, lighting illuminates the yard in the evenings.



We have 4 bedrooms and a separate office, kitchen and dining, cozy living room, first floor laundry and the amazing outdoor garden! We have both badminton and cornhole for some outdoor competitive fun. A unique firepit, BBQ and a variety of outdoor seating. A great space for larger groups, especially when visiting for a variety of our area sporting events or concerts! We are less than 5 minutes away from the downtown Sports District and Concert Venues. A few minutes further to the Florida Times Union Center and just across the bridges from San Marco, Riverside & Avondale. We are about 15 minutes from Jacksonville International Airport and the Jacksonville Zoo!



There are several sheds on site, but they are not accessible for guest use. We are in an urban neighborhood but we are also nearby to some industrial businesses due to our proximity to the Jacksonville riverfront.



Our max occupancy is 8 guests anytime day/night - not just overnight - which is also noted in the house rules/booking agreement.**



Parking: you may park on the street in front of the house, or along the side street - it is first come, first served. To learn more about all there is to see and do in Jacksonville, go to www.VisitJacksonville.com
