Discover a piece of rock and roll history at The Hideaway, a charming 2-bedroom apartment in Jacksonville, Florida. This unique residence serves as the childhood home of the Van Zant family, the legendary founders of Lynyrd Skynyrd and .38 Special. Originally added to the property by Lacey Van Zant as the family grew and the bands rose to fame, this home is steeped in musical legacy. Current front man Johnny Van Zant even utilized the adjacent studio as his personal music space while residing in this very unit.
The interior of the home is designed for comfort and coziness, featuring two bedrooms and two beds that can accommodate up to 4 guests. The sleeping quarters are complemented by a functional jack and jill bathroom. Guests can unwind in the cozy living room or prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen, making the space ideal for a relaxing getaway.
