Would love to return - this house is a gem!

This house is lovely. So much room and beautiful details. It's in a great little historic neighborhood in an old fashioned town with so much to see and do. Our family with adult children stayed at the home to attend a rehearsal dinner and wedding over the weekend in Alachua, but we'd love to return and stay for a week of relaxation. It's very comfortable and the hosts have though of everything you could need. I wish I had more time while we were there to just sit on the front porch with a glass of lemonade and relax!

Better than expected

This home is very well put together. It is well appointed, and beds are extremely comfortable. Everything we needed to enjoy our stay, cook and clean were available to us. The electronic key is a little tricky to navigate. Outside of that our stay was uneventful.

Enjoyable and could be fantastic.

I will start by saying the communication and responsiveness were excellent. This is a charming home in a quaint and convenient location. Inside of the house was clean and mostly comfortable and rustically nice. The only real drawback was a distinct musty smell. Outside was spacious and serene. The backyard outdoor light was malfunctioning, causing the back to be unusable after dark and the yard was somewhat unkept, drawing away from what could be an amazing outdoor space.The management was very open to the feedback and I am confident they will address the stated areas of concern. Overall we would recommend a stay here and hope that with the issues addressed, you would have a truly enjoyable experience.

Excellent Host!!!

My family and I evacuated from our home for Hurricane Milton and booked Hearthstone Harmony as our “back up” plan should our power not be restored. Immediately, our host was super friendly, responded quickly, and addressed all our concerns and needs quickly and efficiently. We ended up having power and not needing to stay the length of our reservation. The host worked with us to rebook and was even able to refund a portion of the bill despite it being non refundable which we SO appreciate. This is the type of small business owner I love to support! We will be booking a stay again soon. Thank you!!!
