Quiet country living, in easy driving distance to everything Gainesvillle. Watch TV in the front room or use the peaceful back room to catch up on work, reading, or laundry. Watch the sunlight move through the trees and Spanish moss. Walk down a country lane. Visit the Cemetary across the way. Listen to the birds. We loved this peaceful place. If the beds had beeen a little bit firmer, it would have been perfect.

A Must Stay

We had a great experience at this 1930's cottage! We were in the area for the FSU vs UF game. It was a straight shot down 441 to the stadium. We also ate at "The Depot" that was located [practically] across the street. The property manager was awesome and responded quickly as well as gave us a little extra time in the am to check out. I highly recommend this property.
