Location was great. Host was welcoming and made us feel right at home. This property was so inviting from the first drive into the driveway. Home was comfortable and very relaxing. We loved the property and the wraparound porches!
The accommodations are exactly as described. The home was sweet and had so much character. We loved the porches and easy access to all of Tallahassee. It was also nice to meet the owner at check-in, which is a rare special touch.
My husband and his friends had a little reunion weekend in Tallahassee, and this house was the perfect location to everything they did. Betsy was easy to communicate with, and made sure check-in was painless. We loved having the security of the gate, as the Frenchtown area can feel a little unsafe at times. Would definitely stay here again!
We went to Tallahassee for FSU graduation. The home is clean and comfortable with lovely architectural features and decorative touches ("Coffee is a hug in a mug"). It sits on a huge yard filled with flowers, fruit trees, birdhouses, conversation nooks, and other eclectic decorations. Right next door is a large Community Garden with rows of vegetables growing. The home is very close to FSU. Betsy the owner and Nell the manager are both very nice and easy to work with.
We came for a football game. This was an older house that is very clean and well kept. We had a very good visit and enjoyed our stay at this house. I would book it again.
Spent a long weekend here with family for an FSU graduation. Felt very safe. Great host! We had a full tour of the location. Beds were comfortable and the deck was fabulous. It was a wonderful weekend and I would recommend Sloan’s Garden for a relaxing stay in Tallahasee

Perfect Home away from Home
We stayed for FSU Homecoming weekend and loved it! Nice and quiet location but just minutes from FSU and downtown. Will definitely chose to stay here again on our next trip to Tallahassee.

Super clean, delightfully decorated and good location
Enjoyed our stay. Perfect for my husband, daughter and my mom during Parent's weekend at FSU. Very quite at night which is a great improvement compared to hotels closer to campus.

About the host
Hosted by Betsy Henderson
We are FSU fans, graduate of UNC and currently living in North Carolina. I love my Tallahassee home because it was a graduation gift from my grandparents in which we all enjoy during visits. We love the historical Frenchtown area because it is growing, in downtown and the middle of all of the city entertainment, restaurants and activities.
Why they chose this property
Close to everything Tallahassee, quaint, quiet, next to a Youth Farm with all fresh organic vegetables, birds singing and squirrels playing as you sit on the porch for breakfast. Just plain peaceful. A taste of Tallahassee historical french craftsman cottages that has been renovated but we kept much of its original charm.
What makes this property unique
Walking distance to many activities, resturants, FSU, FAMU, Governors mansion, Mid-town with all buses and Uber available. A lovely place to stay while visiting Tallahassee. Southern Hospitality here is great!
