AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Wanted to spend a long weekend with the family at Ginnie springs. Rather than camp I decided to look for a house to rent. Came across this listing and knew it was the one. The owner was super responsive we had zero issues and loved every second of our stay on this beautiful property! We are planning another trip to the springs this summer and we will definitely look for this home again!

Cute country house

We were in town briefly for a football game and this house worked great for us. About 20 minutes from U of F campus. While there are three rooms, there is only one small bathroom so this is a consideration based on the size of your party. Will was a great communicator. House was well appointed.

Happy to Have Returned

We LOVE this property and often think of the wonderful past times we've been here. The house is updated but feels like a cozy, inviting home. The grounds are beautifully well kept and we love being outside as well as inside. There are some of the most relaxing reclining chairs in their living room and the beds are so soft. The kitchen is well stocked with quality utensils, check-in and check-out are easy, and our kiddos loved the foosball table. ''The Gainesville House'' is definitely in our top places to stay.

Wonderful Stay

We were in town for a sports tournament and this house met all of our needs. We loved the quiet location. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to prepare family meals. The kids enjoyed the foosball table and darts. Will was a great host. We will stay again when we come back in the fall.

Charming country home and property, so peaceful and quiet.

We rented this home for my husband and me (from Mississippi) our daughter from Salt Lake City and son from Tampa. We came for a memorial celebration of life with family from Turkey Creek, just down the road. So convenient, everything we needed was included. Perfect place to stay, very nice responsive homeowner, and a great choice for us! Beautiful property. Thanks for a great visit! Jan and Bill Patrick
