My family and I went to visit during family weekend. The owner was super responsive and eager to answer any questions. I wouldn’t stay there again. Not a great neighborhood and the place could’ve been cleaner. The owner was great!

Clean, spacious property

This was a clean spacious property. It was just right for my wife and I and kids and relatives to stay over in the Gainesville area. It is an older home, but the host has done a really good job cleaning it up and making it nice with all the amenities you could want. We love the ping-pong table when you first walk in. Would stay there again.

Clean and Tidy

Location is misleading, once on property it was very nice and comfortable. The master bedroom and bathroom has no air conditioning vented so you must keep the master bedroom door open in order for it to cool off which it did quite nicely. Overall very satisfied with this home.

Total Relaxation!

We found exactly what we had hoped for: serenity! The property was an easy drive to shopping and dining, but felt so remote once back at “home”. Our dogs settled in quickly and were only excited by the occasional neighboring cat or local wildlife passing through the yard. We also found items available that we’d forgotten, saving us a run/expense to the store. We truly hope to stay again soon, as it’s one of the best experiences we have had while traveling with our pets, THANK YOU!

Peaceful

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. Maria was extremely prompt and responsive with my questions regarding our pets. The house was well stocked with paper goods, towels and toiletries. We brought our own groceries and I was extremely grateful to whomever left coffee in the pantry because I had forgotten to bring some :-). The infrared sauna was in good working order. The beds and the living room couch were comfy. Suggestion for improvement would be for the yard to be fully gated so that Dogs could have room to run and to keep out any loose dog from the neighbors down the road.

Off the beaten path

We only stayed one night. The house is was very cute and comfortable. The yard was big enough for the kids to run off energy. The game room and master (king) room doesn’t have air conditioning. But there is a fan provided. If I’m ever traveling through again, I will stay there!

Location

Location was good but I thought with 2 acres there would be no neighbors or at least not so close. It was pleasant though. The house was very cute and spacious. I was concerned about all the fire ant hills in the yard. All in all, we enjoyed our stay. 😊

UF Grad weekend

Maria was responsive and super easy to work with. We enjoyed our stay. The place was an easy drive to campus. Loved the extras, like toys for the kids, full kitchen stocked with all that was needed. The only thing we couldn’t find was the TV remote and frankly that wasn’t as bad thing…. More family time. Thank you!!!
