Second time staying was just as amazing

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.

Country Cottage Didn't Disappoint

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!

Pretty & Peaceful

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.

Perfect Home Away From Home

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 :)

Nicely done remodel and very clean

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.

Family Weekend

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.

Great Get Away Cottage

We booked for a Gator football weekend and really enjoyed the accommodations! We were about 25 minutes from campus. The cottage was the perfect size for a couple and was very clean. We'd highly recommend it!
