Nicely appointed, everything that you need is there, clean and well maintained. We would definitely recommend this location. Thanks to the owner for making our stay so enjoyable!
We stayed from Friday-Sunday to attend a UF football game. This property is outside Gainesville but so easy to get to the Gainesville for restaurants and shopping if needed. Easy to get home after the game. We explored Micanopy’s small town and a few other things. It was quiet and relaxing. Worked out great.
Pros: clean, pretty quiet, lots of towels cons: musky smell, one bed good one bad creaked really bad, one live bug in bathroom. Would suggest curtains on bedroom windows for better sleep.
The property was very clean and it was in a good location to get around lots of cool little places to go I appreciate the stay and look forward to coming back
We had a very quick stay, but this was very clean and easily accessible. Very close to the highway, so there was some noise from traffic. Also very close to Orange Lake so fishing was close.
