Great location to see area sites without the congestion!

This is a cute and comfortable little cottage away from city congestion with a couple restaurans nearby. It is a great location for Gainesville area site seeing and visiting with your college kids.

Not the city

Nice little cottage. beds were comfortable and the place is immaculate. the landscaping is a bit out of control as vines and bushes were intruding on the back porch. All in all this place is a great value.

Relaxing

Nice old Florida vibe. The only complaint is the noise from the traffic but it gets quiet at night. It's a really cool old house with great trees and relaxing porch. The hosts are nice.

Quaint Cottage

Very peaceful, relaxing setting. We used it as a hub to travel to nearby towns and springs. We did need to call the host because we could not get the tv's to work. They did respond and resolve it right away. The only thing that needs attention is that the locks on the jack and jill bathroom do not work.

it is a great little cottage and a quiet neighborhood where you can actually see nature and not too far from really good restaurants. The cottage had all amenities needed for relaxed and wonderful trip. I have stayed at the owners other colleges, and they does a great job with communication.

What better place to read a biography of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, than on this front porch? We loved the song birds and walking in the cemetery. The property was so close to downtown Micanopy, Payne's Prairie and Gainesville, that day trips were easy and relaxed. We had everything we needed and the house was clean and well tended. We hope to return.
