Welcome to Wisteria Cottage

In the Spring of 1994 I visited High Springs for the first time. I had heard about this area from a good friend who highly recommended O'Leno State Park as her favorite camping spot.

My family and I spent several days camping at both O'Leno and Ginnie Springs. I was instantly "sold" on this area when we canoed down the Santa Fe River and shopped on Main Street. I made my decision at that point that this was the area I wanted to move to. Having lived my entire life in St. Petersburg, I was ready for the peace and tranquility that this area offered. This was by far one of the best decisions I have made and one I have never regretted.   

Relocating to High Springs was only the beginning of major changes in my life. Having a desire for many years to own my own business was a dream I had hoped to achieve at some point. In the spring of 2002, I discovered Wisteria Cottage on Main Street was for sale. Shortly after my discovery, I became the new owner.

Being able to not only live in this area but spend my days on Main Street at Wisteria Cottage was truly a dream come true! I wouldn't live anywhere else!
