Loved our stay here! Clean, comfortable, awesome shower (!!), and the property/courtyard is lovely. We came for a football game and the location was perfect - just steps away from downtown.

Thank you so much for your kind review!
We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the stay and found the unit clean, comfortable, and well equipped. That shower compliment definitely made our day!
The location really is one of our favorite things about the property too, especially being so close to downtown and walkable for game days and events.
We’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in Gainesville!
This was my second time staying at depot village and it was wonderful! The owners are kind, conscientious, and were quick to respond to any concerns we had. Our unit was clean, comfortable, and the shower was amazing! The only downside was that the internet was a little slow, so we weren't able to use the bluetooth speaker in the bathroom very much. Overall a great stay though. We can't wait to come back!

An integral part of Gainesville's heritage, Depot Village stands as the second oldest house in the city, with the honor of being surpassed only by the Mathison house, built in 1853.
Constructed from robust hard pine timbers and supported by intricately carved limestone pylons, Depot Village has witnessed a storied past. Once serving as the Gainesville Zen Center and hostel in the mid-20th century, it has hosted thousands of visitors over the years.
As one of the oldest and most cherished buildings in Gainesville, Florida, Depot Village remains a treasured gem, preserving a piece of history waiting to be discovered and enjoyed by discerning travelers like yourself.
