- Six of our rooms are inside our McKenzie House, a magnificent three-story Queen Anne style Victorian home listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and known as one of the most elaborate Victorian buildings in Gainesville's history. It has intricate detailing, three-story octagonal turrets on the west face, and a wrap-around veranda which culminate in an octagonal gazebo. This house was featured on the popular PBS television series, Inn Country USA! Neglected over the years, this beautiful blue home along with our peach Cushman-Colson House had fallen into a state of disrepair until, in 1978, Giovanna and Juan Holbrook, purchased the McKenzie home and began restoring it to its original beauty and charm. Giovanna Holbrook and her daughter Cornelia later purchased and restored the Cushman home in 1992, resulting in 2 Gainesville City Beautification Awards. Sweetwater will celebrate it's 20th anniversary in 2013!
