The process to lock and unlock the door needs to be upgraded. The only way to access or egress the home is by touchpad. However, using the touchpad is extremely frustrating. That is, it often took numerous attempts to unlock or lock the door. If I were the owner, I would worry that unconscientious guests might become so frustrated that they would leave the house unlocked. ##### Mary Jo O.

This is our second stay at the B.F. Dowell House.... which really tells you everything! It is simply vacation perfection. The house and grounds are simply wonderful. The house is immaculate. The decorations are appropriate the historical era of the home, while also being and beautiful and comfortable. The location could not be better. Well within walking distance of everything Jacksonville has to offer. Relaxing mornings and evenings spent laughing in the garden were even further enhanced by deer and turkey family units meandering through. We have already booked our next stay and cannot wait. Deanne was wonderful to work with. You cannot go wrong with this home! ##### Phyllis N.

We were in Jacksonville visiting family and were lucky enough to find this home. It is absolutely gorgeous and fully stocked with everything you need to feel at home. I would love to stay for a month and just read books, take naps, and cook nice meals. Will definitely return. ##### Grace A. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ---
