It’s family-friendly, close to everything Gainesville has to offer, and surrounded by nature and good energy. We love that it’s just minutes from the University of Florida, downtown restaurants, and the springs — yet still quiet enough to relax, unwind, and feel like you’re on your own private getaway.
