We had such an amazing experience here! The hosts were very hospitable, the cottage was beautiful and clean and there was so much attention to detail. Everything we needed was readily available. The hosts were very responsive with any questions we had. It was so peaceful and private. I would recommend staying here to anyone and we can’t wait to book again!
The cottage was perfect. We needed a place to stay for family weekend at UF, and we didn't want to spend a fortune for a hotel. We were located only 10 minutes from UF.The stay was very confortable. It had all of the amenities that we needed for the weekend. The hosts even left us two beers from the local brewery, which was a nice little gesture. We hope to stay again on a future visit to Gainesville.
We had a great time at this lovey cottage in the country but still close to Gainesville, UF sports and Shands. The host is 5 stars! Very responsive and has the cottage beautifully decorated and appointed with everything you need. It was very clean and well maintained. Nature is right out your window under the beautiful oak and palm trees. We will be back again soon!
