Communication with the Depot village staff was very efficient. They were on site and ready to help. The property listing was accurate and unit was clean. This stay helped to break our long travel with a good night's rest with the pups. The area was a little remote but we feel safe walking around the neighborhood with the dogs. Will definitely come back.

Great for what we needed! Host happened to be available on site when we arrived and was friendly and accommodating. It was me, my husband, 2 young sons (4 yo, 2yo) and 2 dogs staying one night for the Medieval Faire. Great location, walkable to Depot Park and several restaurants. We had a little hiccup with the check in process but it was resolved quickly, not a big deal at all.

We had to take our pup to UF for major surgery. The treehouse was perfect. Well updated, clean, and private. Perfect location. Just a warning for the tall folks 6 ft and greater, doorways are shorter than average. My husbands 6.5 and hit his head on the doorway a few times.

Hidden oasis in downtown Gainesville

Stayed October 2023. This was a wonderful place to stay when traveling with my dog. It is in a small, unique complex with a handful of units managed by an onsite team. The staff were great and eager to help with restocking the room and carrying bags up the stairs (this unit is a second floor walk up). The space was exactly as pictured. The far ends of the property are protected by a privacy fence, and there are plenty of cozy outdoor spaces to chill and get some fresh air within the grounds. There is a large stage area in the middle of the common area outside, but it was quiet the weekend I stayed. I would absolutely recommend and would stay there again!

Absolutely Not

No parking instructions given and when we got there we found no parking onsite. Parked across the street to check it out. That when we notice a few homeless guys hanging around and one that took interest in our jet ski. Walking to the room we walked right into a couple guys smoking weed, drinking beer, and listening to music right outside our room. Owner say they were guests and doing nothing wrong since that is normal here. We immediately left and ate the money just to get a hotel up the road. I was not going to have my wife and kids in this environment. Beware, the ad says nothing about this. Very sketchy. Not family friendly

Cute property—almost 5 stars

This property was renovated as a 2 bedroom-instead of a 1 bedroom with living space. There is no common area-except for the kitchen—which is a very nice kitchen. That worked for me but I would’ve have enjoyed a sitting area also. Also, could have used some cleaning supplies—particularly a broom and some extra garbage bags. I did some flower arranging and cooking for an engagement party and had a hard time cleaning up. Communication was easy and complete—accessing property and parking were no problem. I’d definitely stay again!
