Meet one of Tallahassee’s best-kept secrets. 🌳

Tucked into a quiet corner of Tallahassee, this fairytale cottage was built by FSU English professor Laura Jepsen and named after the gates of medieval England. The gardens are the real magic, with a labyrinth to explore and a towering live oak said to date back to the time of Shakespeare.

Bring a camera, take your time and let the afternoon slow down. The grounds are open daily from dawn to dusk. 🍂

📍 Lichgate on High Road, 1401 High Road
