Relaxing, simple elegance!Quiet, and relaxing, comfortable beds, and seating around the home .The porch is the perfect place to enjoy a book or out a puzzle together.Looking forward to staying again.
we have stayed in this property multiple times for UF Gator games and enjoy it very much. It is clean and inviting. The beds are comfortable and it is well equipped. Mackintosh is in easy driving distance to UF and the town is quaint and pretty.
This was my 2nd stay here. It’s a very quiet and quaint cottage. The location is great for being in between Ocala and Gainesville. Hopefully I’ll get to stay here again. The hosts are very quick to reply to messages.
Second time staying! Enjoyed it as much as the first!! Host was extremely helpful.Got in late in the evening, asked if he could turn on porch light for our arrival. With no hesitation he took care of it. During the rain it was enjoyed while sitting on the front porch. We don’t get much rain in California so it was a treat watching it come down. The house is just what we needed, basically “home away from home”. The house is centrally located to Ocala and Gainesville. I would recommend this home to anyone asking! If I was asked, “is there anything we can do to make your next stay or that of another guest”. The only thing I would say (and this is being very picky) is maybe upgrade the toilet to not be so low to the ground. Again, thank you for such a lovely place!!!WE WILL BE BACK!
Was a great little place, the kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable and the place was very clean. Nice little neighborhood. The grocery store was 20 minutes away in Gainesville.
Loved this cottage home! It was exactly what we needed for our overnights stay! Clean & Cute!! Will stay again! And the hosts were very amenable & responded quickly!
This house was perfect. Just as listed and so convenient for what we were in the area for. This house will definitely be on our list the next time we’re in town.
