Just what we needed

A great space for family and friends to enjoy the country - convenient to hiking, bike trails, tubing at the springs, and Gainesville. Fun amenities inside and out - we fed the horses and played air hockey and ping pong. Truly something for everyone.

Great place

Exactly what we were looking for. House was big enough for all 6 of us, with 3 full bathrooms. Clean, quiet, and affordable. Wood for a fire pit and plenty of stars to light up the night sky. Kids enjoyed the air hockey and ping pong while the adults enjoyed the quiet night and beautiful sky.

Our family had an absolutely lovely time at this property! As a family of five visiting the springs, we truly appreciated the space. It was wonderful to have room to relax, enjoy friendly games of ping pong and air hockey, and simply unwind on the porch swing with ice cream and the kids. A delightful bonus was being greeted by horses and cows just outside the fence each morning. Communication with the host was excellent and easy. We wholeheartedly recommend this charming home!

What a great week we had relaxing in the country at this quiet, peaceful and beautiful home. Robin was a great host. We were even invited next door to watch roping practice on a fun friday night. The home was very comfortable. We had everything we needed to grill and cook everyday.

Delightful property

An older home that has been totally and tastefully remodeled with high end upgrades that made our wedding party extremely comfortable. It’s only minutes away to Valley View and Sante Fe River Ranch wedding venues. Highly recommended with many personal touches and the owners were extremely helpful and responsive to last minute questions we had.

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.

Lovely Clark Farm property

The Clark Farm property is lovely! The Clark family is next door and very helpful. Robin and Billy have made a very comfortable, very clean rental in a beautiful country setting. The house very nicely furnished and includes all the necessities needed for a stay. The farm area is outstanding as are the Clark’s horses and Champ their beagle! My husband and I stayed for a month and wished we could have stayed longer. This property is exceptional.

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!

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!

Complete Relaxation

I'm not sure my words will do this property justice. The minute we pulled in we were amazed at how green and beautiful everything was. We spent a lot of time outside just enjoying the scenery and petting the horses. The house was just as described, very comfortable and so were the beds. The owners, Robin and Billy were so nice. We were there for New Years Eve and they invited us over for a get together. We had a great time. If you're looking to take a step back and relax, this is the place. We will definitely be back. Katie

AMAZING!!!

I truly can’t say enough good things about this place. My family LOVED it. The house is super clean, well updated, comfy beds with such soft sheets that I actually checked the brand so I could buy some. The location is stunning. You are really in the center of gorgeous farm country and the horses come up to the fence to greet you as soon as you wake up or come home. They are so friendly and there is even a cute foal. The local river and springs were gorgeous, refreshing and entertaining. It was a perfect getaway for my family who loves on the FL coast. It was like we went to a different state. The owner was super accommodating and easy to work with. We had no issues what so ever and she went above and beyond to make our stay convenient for us. Thank you so much for hosting us.

Would return to the Alachua farmhouse without hesitation

Property is clean and is as pictured. Hostess was excellent. The location is remote, as much as a half mile down a gravel road, then15 minutes or more to restaurants, gasoline, groceries, etc. Easy access to UF, either Interstate or secondary roads. We enjoyed the firepit, the horses, Champ the dog, and the sunsets. I was concerned that it may be a UF Football party house with the ping pong table and the air hockey table, but it shows no signs of being a party house. The bridal suite is a converted garage, nicely done, needs a bit more furniture and hangers/hooks for clothing, but can serve well as a separate BnB efficiency as is (which I'm guessing is the intent). I slept well on the trundle which has a foam mattress and was comfortable. The tap water is excellent, no sulphur, good for drinking and bathing. After a few nights here I began to understand the appeal of living in this part of Florida!

Great stay in the country

Our favorite part of this trip was having the horses right outside our door. They are all really friendly but a few of them were particularly interested in us. Make sure to bring plenty of apples and carrots and they will be your best friends. We rab out by the second day and there aren't many stores around to buy more. Even without food, several of them came up to us any time we went to the fence and even followed our kids as they walked along the fence. We loved being surrounded by pasture, hearing the cows across the street and a rooster in the distance. The ride in was a beautiful mix of pasture and forest. Nearby there are several springs to visit. We went to Ginnie Springs, which was huge but kind of pricey ($50). We weren't disappointed though because it was so beautiful and had lots to do. There's a cute, little downtown area on the way to Ginnie Springs, which had it not been for COVID we definitely would have enjoyed. We also visited nearby San Felasco Hammock Preserve. It had a little picnic spot and great hiking. There are actually hills there, which we're not used to in Central Florida. The house was cute and well maintained. The owners are right next door and very responsive to any issues that arise. We even got to see them training the horses one evening. Overall, it was a fun, relaxing trip. Thank you for your hospitality!
