Great location and the Country Cottage was very clean and the perfect size. Nice local spots to explore and close enough to Gainesville to stay for a football game.
Sally and Andres are great hosts!
This well appointed cottage great for long weekend stay near Gainesville. Beautiful setting, very comfortable accommodations and delightful owners. About 25 minutes from the University of Florida campus.
We so enjoyed our stay! The property is quiet and relaxing, clean and welcoming. Sally was full of recommendations for places to eat and things to do. We will be back!
Lovely property that was conveniently located just a short drive away from Gainesville. We went to a Gator game and hiked the nearby trails. Sally was wonderful. We will definitely stay again!
We absolutely had the best stay ever here in the country-so quiet & peaceful-very convenient to our family & activities.! Sally & Andres are great hosts- very kind, always available for us-making us feel right at home! We’d stay again! THANKS Sally & Andres!
The cottage was beautifully decorated, quiet, and clean. We arrived to a tray of fancy cupcakes and a comfortable bed after a long day of driving. Great place to stay away from the traffic of Gainsville. Beautiful old oaks.
This was my second stay here. It is still cozy, spotless, peaceful, and beautifully situated. The bed is really comfortable and the owners are on site and extremely helpful. As good as a rental gets!!!
Spotless and charming. Out of the fray, but still close to whatever you need. A family of deer met us coming and going. We needed to be at UF, and got there in minutes. Highly recommend, would absolutely stay again.
Our return visit to Sally’s cottage was just as we remembered. It was clean, adorable, and so comfortable. The bed is fantastic. Our 8yo loved checking out the chickens and we ate some fresh eggs for breakfast. Sally’s hospitality is thoughtful and experienced. We will return again for sure.
Enjoyed our stay at the lovely Cottage. Very clean with everything you need. Hosts were super nice and great with communication. Hiked the trails nearby and UF was close for the football game and volleyball games. Saw a huge buck on the dirt road coming in. Would most definitely stay here again!

Very clean, owners very accomodating
This cottage is for a short time stay. Far from the stores. No washer and dryer!
We needed to spend 4 nights in Gainesville for multiple spring graduation ceremonies. A cramped hotel room was not a desirable option. I couldn't have found a better place to spend our downtime between all of the festivities. Sally & Andres were the perfect hosts and their cute guest house was everything we needed and more. From a comfortable bed, space to spread out to work on our laptops and having small special requests met - we wanted for nothing! The location is away from campus (about 20-25 minutes), but the drive is very easy and worth being out in the quiet countryside. Loved hearing the birds and animals on the property.
Thank you, Sally & Andres, for sharing your home with us on such an important weekend for our family. Please give the kitty head scratches as we didn't get to see him when we departed :)
The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The place was very clean. Bedroom sleeping arrangements were great. My 16 year old daughter slept on the pull out couch and said it was OK, but I would not recommend for adult. It was very convenient to our weekend softball event in Newberry. Well water definitely had an aroma but we knew going in.
We went to Gainesville for parents weekend. We wanted to be a bit away from the crowds by campus. It’s about a 25 minute drive but very easy. Very quiet. The house is very well stocked especially the bathroom and kitchen. Comfortable master bedroom.
