Chinsegut Hill Retreat and Conference Center - Retreat center in Brooksville - 22495 Chinsegut Hill Rd, USA

Was going to stop at the public walk (which I will do at another time), but then drove a little farther down the road and found that there's an old plantation with this area, Chinsegut Hill. Absolutely beautiful! You can walk around the huge yard and drives going under huge old trees. One even has a staircase as if your going to a tree house. Quiet... And a wonderful view

Historic location in Brooksville. Family history of this often overlooked site is intertwined with Florida politics, prohibition, imancipation, and even ties into US relations with Soviet Russia. Tour is about an hour. May be hot in summer so dress for comfort.

This is a beautiful piece of history. The manor is currently closed for repairs, I was told it is scheduled to reopen in September. The property features large plantation mansion with the most wonderful wraparound porch on the top and bottom floors. The top floor of the home hosts a museum with so much history, artifacts, letters and more. Many of the rooms have original furniture and decor. The property also has 7 cottages that each sleep 8. They have a living room, kitchen, dining room and 4 rooms with 2 twin beds. Each room had it's own bathroom. There is also a dining hall with a commercial kitchen, fire pit and classroom with a 100+ capacity. But to me, the stand out is the oak trees. 2 main trees have been named and hold great historical significance, but the property is glittered with stunning oaks and other plants. It would be a perfect location for a wedding or any other event. Looking forward to visiting again.

This was an absolutely beautiful place, really great piece of history, big property, great walking/hiking trails, awesome old historical buildings throughout. The citrus trees and MASSIVE bamboo were really cool to see! A definite MUST GO. Great for the whole family! We had a great time, suggest shoes and a lightweight stroller that can easily maneuver different terrain or a hiking pack to carry babies easily. We did it with a regular stroller which worked but it didn't like the different terrain changes much so it definitely required a little more energy to push ours 🤣 still worth it though. Bring water!! If it's a cooler day, bring bug spray I'm sure they will get bad.

Grounds are great for walking and tour of the house in very interesting. Cabins are nice.

Overjoyed to discover this hidden gem on a tranquil hillside near Brooksville. I attended a plant sale under the oaks but there are a lot of special events so I will be returning soon. The history of the house is fascinating. The staff was very helpful. I am looking forward to renting one of the cottages for a family retreat.

I visited here Saturday and was pleasantly suprised by the house and grounds. I was only able to see one room of the museum (the house is the museum) because I was told the a.c. was broke and their were no volunteers who would stay. That was pretty disappointing but I still quite enjoyed walking around the upstairs and downstairs porch, as well as walking around the property with so many gorgeous old oaks. I am looking forward to going back to hopefully see all of the museum and update this review to 5 stars!

We enjoyed our visit and our tour guide gave us so much historical information. Nice piece of interesting history, nice place to distressed. I am recommending this place to see and enjoy the nature's
