Cozy and Comfortable

The house was cozy and comfortable. No complaints except for the several broken blinds. I rated the "Cleanliness of Property" with only 2 stars because of the yard, not the house. Summary: I would stay there again.

Together for Nana's Memorial

It was the right place for our family to gather, close to the church and perfect for getting together, watching the Gators on TV, playing games (which Nana would have loved) and having friends over.

Peaceful Cottage

This place is so peaceful. It is near the police station in a college town, so you do get the odd siren and car doors slamming when folks get home late, but man, those mornings are so peaceful, quiet and amazing. The decor is perfectly comfortable and gave me such homey vibes. A bonus was finding a ukulele in the living room. I tuned the ukulele, so play it!

Great little place close to everything

Clean property, just the right size for 3 of us. Located walking distance to both a park and a police station, and just 5-10 minutes drive to pretty much everything we wanted to do and see. Would stay here again.

Wonderful stay again!

This is our second time staying here, and everything was just as perfect as the first time a year ago. Everything about the property is super cozy and comfortable- from the covered patio and backyard deck, to the furnishings, beds, and linens. The location is in very close proximity to everything, but still has a nice private, tucked away feel. This will always be our first choice whenever we travel to Gainesville!

Sad to leave!

This was our third time staying and I was honestly sad to leave. Not only is the house comfortable and clean, but everything is still in great shape since our first visit in March of 2023, which says a lot about how well the hosts care for the property. We got to bring our pups this time and they loved hanging out on the back deck and side porch. Location is quiet and super convenient. So grateful we were able to book here again for our trip. Big thanks to the hosts for another perfect stay.

Good house and close to campus

Overall, the house worked well for our family. Home is a bit on the small side. Good size bedrooms, and living room. Small bathroom, kitchen. Dining table and chairs don’t really fit the space. Fenced yard a huge plus for our pets. Outside seating area would also be nice in the cooler months.

Very cozy place in and inviting when we went inside. Everything has been renovated and the beds are comfortable. Most importantly, it’s in walking distance to Midtown and downtown Gainesville. Owners are friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again, especially for a UF football game.

Great little home

Cute property perfect for my party of 2. Clean house, comfy beds, cold central A/C & hot coffee! We liked walking to some of G’ville’s off the path hidden gems, Afternoon, Coterie market & Superette. Not a far walk from campus but not five minutes either. House was quiet and has a cute park w/nice playground and walking path just down the street.
