Not the city
Nice little cottage. beds were comfortable and the place is immaculate. the landscaping is a bit out of control as vines and bushes were intruding on the back porch. All in all this place is a great value.

Nice old Florida vibe. The only complaint is the noise from the traffic but it gets quiet at night. It's a really cool old house with great trees and relaxing porch. The hosts are nice.

Wonderful Cottage
To start with, this location was perfect for us. Our daughter was graduating from UF and we wanted something close enough to easily get to Gainesville, but not so close we were constantly part of the madhouse with graduation. The cottage was tastefully decorated and had plenty of spaces to relax in. Kitchen had most common things needed to cook and anything not available was only a text message away from being delivered by the host. Both the air conditioning and heating worked great as the days had a wide variation in temperatures. Guests should be aware that only one of the rooms has a closet. This wasn't a big deal for us, as we didn't have alot of hang-up clothes. I positively LOVE the little chimes the washer plays when it's finished a cycle. It sounds so proud of itself!!!The cottage is off a dirt road and therefore right next to a cemetery. This was wonderful as I love to wander the old headstones and see the stories they tell...for instance:the father and son who died on the same day,the children who lived only a day or two because infant mortality was so high, the many veterans recognized,the wife who I think was an avid birder.However, the most intriguing and saddest to me was the inscription on a very old stone, of a young boy of about 12. I could only partially get a rubbing of the inscription, but it started with "All alone you died...". Maybe a future visitor can find out the rest. Please don't let the presence of the cemetery stop you from staying.

We will stay here again. Cute Florida cottage! Reminds me of my grandmothers house with wood floors and glass doorknobs. Beds were comfortable. location off main road, easy to get to. Close enough to Gainesville for grocery shopping.

Quiet and peaceful cottage
BIG problem with mold and mildew, Primary but not the only culprit is the leather sofa and double chair in the living room. But, the odor permeates the whole house. If you have a respiratory condition, do not stay here. We would not return.

What better place to read a biography of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, than on this front porch? We loved the song birds and walking in the cemetery. The property was so close to downtown Micanopy, Payne's Prairie and Gainesville, that day trips were easy and relaxed. We had everything we needed and the house was clean and well tended. We hope to return.

Quiet country living, in easy driving distance to everything Gainesvillle. Watch TV in the front room or use the peaceful back room to catch up on work, reading, or laundry. Watch the sunlight move through the trees and Spanish moss. Walk down a country lane. Visit the Cemetary across the way. Listen to the birds. We loved this peaceful place. If the beds had beeen a little bit firmer, it would have been perfect.
