The home was very clean and the bed was Comfortable; it make you feel at home... The owner make sure that we made it there safe and didn't have any problems.
This is a true Gainesville gem! The property is just gorgeous, and the home is well equipped and so comfortable with all the amenities of home. It is so quiet and peaceful outdoors with beautiful views out of every window. We felt so secure with the entire property being fenced in, complete with a gate at the entrance.
Our host, Ms. B was just amazing and accommodating to our needs. I wish I had the opportunity to meet her in person, as I feel we would have been great friends. My mother and I are in the process of moving cross-country and this was a much-needed respite before hitting the road. I would book it again in a heartbeat should I return in the future.
Overall it was clean, clearly old with less than professional looking renovations (example: kitchen cabinets); it did not have the trundle bed that was listed in the description and there were no linens for the sofa bed. The kitchen supples were sparse (e.g. no baking sheet) and several of the knives were rusty. Property manager brought needed linens for our second night; very sweet woman. This house is truly in the country.

Great time!
We had a great time on our visit! Would definitely stay again. Lots of room outside for the kids to run and play! It was quiet and we had a visitor...a deer! Made lots of wonderful memories with our family. We went hiking, shopping and visited some of the towns in the area!
