Perfect stay

My husband, daughter, and I were in town visiting family over the holidays. The house and location were perfect. There was a Publix in easy walking distance and of course the university was right there. The house was clean and it was great sitting outside in the beautiful weather. We would definitely stay here again.

Family Gator Football Weekend

My husband and I brought our kids for the weekend, so that they could see our old stomping grounds and see a game at the swamp. We usually stay at hotels but my stay at the cottage surpassed any past visit. We loved it. It was cozy and felt like home. So clean and comfy. They had everything we needed and more. Thank you!

Super Nice!

I was extremely happy with my recent stay. The owners were quickly responsive when we had questions, and the location is convenient to UF and other Gainesville locations. The house was clean and quaint, and was perfect for our needs when we checked in our son his freshman year. Highly recommend this location.

Perfect stay

Carolyn was always prompt with replies to our inquiries. She provided advice and great recommendations. The bungalow was very clean, well equipped, modern and incredibly close to campus-- without being too close. Great night's sleep. We walked to UF and some of the restaurants. Everything else (hikes and other eateries) were an easy drive. Should our son chose UF we plan on renting this lovely bungalow each time we visit. Highly recommend.

"Perfect Little House" for two of us and our standard poodle. Very clean. Owners obviously took the time and made the effort to renovate and properly equip the house. The pictures are accurate. Good location close to downtown and very easy access to NW 6th St. multi-use path and Gainesville/Hawthorne Trail that we cycled every day. Easy parking for two vehicles. Owners are very responsive. Highly recommend.

Charming, peaceful

The cottage is so charming, with the vintage touches, including a turquoise Hotpoint Oven! I remember those! Very clean and tidy. We were there a weekend, street nice and quiet( no game that weekend). Favorite thing has to be the shower; idk what it’s called, but there was an over head rain shower , a shower wand, and a waterfall shower! With a fold down bench.! Had a great time, amazing fir the price!

Beautiful and cozy with amazing shower

My partner and I needed a safe place for our doggies to hunker down while we were getting through the hectic process of moving into a new home. They’re sensitive little guys and we wanted to make it as easy on them as we could. Although small, this was a lovely and comfortable place for the pups and for us to escape to while we were between moving things into the house. The remodeled shower was an amazing experience and has set the bar for a future remodel in my own home. I’ll be recommending this place to my friends and family when they come to visit.
