Our beautiful farmhouse ( Clark’s Southern Adventures) has been in our family for many years , and we do our best to ensure all of our guests have an amazing stay at our place . This is a place your friends and family can come to unwind , get back to your roots , and create priceless memories with your family and friends. Close enough to town, yet far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet , and get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life !

The wide open spaces, rolling pastures , majestic oaks, and grazing horses and cattle are some of the many enjoyments available.Many of our guests enjoy feeding the horses apples and carrots , so feel free to bring some with you if you wish to do so!

Feel free to ask if you would like a more in depth tour of the horses and the stables. As long as I am available I would be glad to facilitate that !We have a lovable beagle dog named champ that may say hello during your stay. Rest assured he is harmless and all of our guests that visit have seemed to love him! We live on the property adjacent to the house , so we are close by if you need anything , or have any questions during your stay.

We try and make sure to have something for everyone in your family or group to enjoy . You will have access to a fully equipped kitchen if you want to rustle up a home cooked meal during your stay , along with a covered outdoor grilling area (propane provided ), outdoor fire pit , air hockey and ping pong tables , smart tv in living room with surround sound , Netflix , Dish Network, etc.

We also have a bookshelf filled with a wide variety of books available for your enjoyment . Feel free to sit on the front porch swing in the morning with your coffee , and a good book while you watch the sunrise . I promise you won’t regret it ! We have a regular coffee maker and we provide filters , ground coffee, sugar ,etc.!

The home is located in Northern Alachua county, approximately 30 min from Gainesville and the University of Florida, 25-30 min away from all the local freshwater springs( Poe Springs, Ginnie Springs, Blue Springs, Itchetucknee Springs State Park), 15 minutes from the towns of High Springs, Alachua, and Lake Butler, and within 10 minutes of multiple local wedding venues such as Santa Fe River Ranch, Valley View, and Cbar Ranch.

Quiet Paradise
Great clean comfortable house with great hosts. We went for a UF graduation and it was about a 20 -25 minute drive to campus all thru back roads, it was awesome. Highly recommend if you want tranquility.

Amazing Venue and great Host
The property was beautiful as well as the home itself. Very clean and tidy with all the essentials you need to cook. The outside cooking area was cozy and we really felt like we were home. Also, who doesn’t want to wake up to horses grazing every morning. We enjoyed getting to meet the owners and interact with the horses. If you are planning a trip to Gainesville, I highly recommend this home! We will be returning customer's in the near future. The owners give you your privacy but also encourage interaction. We absolutely loved our stay!

You don't want to leave.
This was our second stay at the Clark Farm and just like the first time it was fabulous. The house is exactly what you see in the pictures and the location is more tranquil and peaceful than you can imagine. While the kids were doing their thing, I spent most of my time sitting outside enjoying the view. Robin, Billy and their family are wonderful hosts. We are planning to return next year.

One of the best
This property and hosts were above exceptional. The home was rented for 3 months and it was definitely a home away from home. The setting is very peaceful and relaxing. We looked forward to seeing horses and of course champ ( the farm dog) daily. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly. We felt very welcomed and never had a worry about anything during our stay. An approximate drive of 30 minutes to Gainesville for work, and back to the peaceful country setting after. Many attractions near by to see and visit. We had a very enjoyable visit and hope to return annually. Highly recommend this property. As a long time VRBO renter, the best hosts we have ever had! Thank you for all the hospitality!
