Best of old and new here! Experience the old-world charm of Florida in this beautiful 1915 rail house reimagined with nicely appointed updates of today, one-of-a-kind artworks, railroad memorabilia, and custom furnishings. The Rail House is nestled on a quiet street with just a few other homes in the middle of working farms and pastures on paved roads. It is close to all town amenities, both Hernando and Inverness, and is a perfect mix of yesteryear and today.
Experience the old-world charm of Florida in this beautiful 1915 rail house reimagined with nicely appointed updates of today, one-of-a-kind artworks, railroad memorabilia, and custom furnishings. The Rail House is nestled on a quiet street with just a few other homes in the middle of working farms and pastures on paved roads.

It is close to all town amenities, both Hernando and Inverness, and is a perfect mix of yesteryear and today. With an unbeatable location to lakes, springs, trails, and nearby historic towns, you and yours can have a memorable time staying on the grounds or day tripping to nearby attractions. Sip lemonade on the front porch as you watch native birds, butterflies, and dragonflies. Or grill out and have a picnic in the backyard while watching neighboring cows graze pastures.

Less than one mile from the Rail House, take a stroll or a bike ride to Lake Hernando Park where you can swim, launch your boat, or play on the playgrounds. If you seek nature trails, experience old-Florida along the 46-mile, paved Withlacoochee State Trail.

For the spring hoppers, you are about 25 minutes away from Crystal River where you can experience Hunter Springs, Three Sister’s Springs or King Spring. In the opposite direction, you are about 25 minutes from Rainbow Springs State Park and KP Hole depending on traffic. Come stay in and venture out and experience all the Nature Coast offers at the Rail House.

Country living
We really loved it. Here we were stressed and frazzled from trying to move from one house to a new house and we needed a place to stay while our house was being remodeled. Our nerves were shot when we came here but when we left, we were at peace there was cows all around sandhill cranes. Fernando is a lovely little town.

Unique and wonderful
This is a great place well kept and a pleasure to stay in. Two suggestions however. Install a safety bar in the shower for us old folks. And tell us how we can lower the shades once we raise them. We could not figure that out

Nice rural setting.
If you are looking for a nice quiet rural setting this farmhouse is small but charming. Nicely remodeled and decorated. I wish it had had some comfortable chairs for around the fire pit so bring folding chairs. We spent most of our time on the front porch. Our dog loved having a large safe yard to play in. The cows were a bonus. Very close to the bike trail, restaurants and all the Citrus County hiking you could imagine.

Really enjoyable stay!
Absolutely wonderful. It was clean and comfortable! The decor was charming, the house was well stocked with towels and laundry detergent and dishwasher tablets, everything we really needed to make our 5 night stay comfortable.. Great location - close to things but off the beaten path so it was quiet and relaxing. The value was excellent. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely stay again!

A peaceful easy feeling
It was very homey feeling we really enjoyed the front porch and all the plants and the way it’s setup. The old articles were interesting and the neighbor was very nice and talked to the guys right after we got there, made us feel welcome

Homestead in the country
If you are Interested in a relaxing area, next to farms with animals, produce farming, close to the water, abundance of water birds, the Rail House will be your kind of place. There are neighbors, but not in close proximity, and very friendly. The fenced in yard was great for our pet, however you need to make sure there are no places a small dog can get through, as they will. Horses nearby, beautiful place for photography. Citrus County is wonderful, and fun! You travel small distances to towns with lots of water sports, the air-boat ride was great!! Wonderful spots to eat in the area where fresh seafood is abundant and all kinds of entrees are available. If you want a rustic get-away place for peace and quiet, this is it!!! You can rock on the front porch and breath the fresh air!! Or you can travel to Tampa, where there are an abundance of over-crowded beaches and crazy, bad, traffic!!!!

Communication Lacking
Decor and style of the property was Great. The property manger was not as responsive as I would have expected at all. We had a couple small problems and it took them some time to respond and then I had to push the issue to have them resolved. One problem was with the tub was not draining and they suggested I take care of it initially and no follow up communication was had letting us know when they actually addressed the problems. Could be a nice place if you don’t have any concerns during your stay or the customer service is improved by the property manager.
