Adorable Vintage Cottage

Our stay at this precious cottage was exactly what we needed after traveling and festivities at college graduation. The decor was obviously carefully curated by the owners with impeccable antiques as well as one of a kind crafted pieces. We were all extremely comfortable in the large beds with fresh clean linens, the adorable bathroom and full kitchen. The wooded grounds were interesting and had the fresh smell of jasmine wafting across the yard. The hosts were responsive and kind beyond the ordinary and check in was seamless. I could not more highly recommend booking with them and will seek them out when we are near Gainesville again.

Football trip

We stayed from Friday-Sunday to attend a UF football game. This property is outside Gainesville but so easy to get to the Gainesville for restaurants and shopping if needed. Easy to get home after the game. We explored Micanopy’s small town and a few other things. It was quiet and relaxing. Worked out great.

Cottage

Pros: clean, pretty quiet, lots of towels cons: musky smell, one bed good one bad creaked really bad, one live bug in bathroom. Would suggest curtains on bedroom windows for better sleep.

Very nice place

We had a very quick stay, but this was very clean and easily accessible. Very close to the highway, so there was some noise from traffic. Also very close to Orange Lake so fishing was close.
