About this property
Amazing townhome downtown walk to restaurants, bars and Depot Park.
About this space
Centrally located in the beautiful bed-and-breakfast district is this unique loft apartment offering a charming home away from home with everything you could need for a comfortable stay.
The apt features high cathedral ceilings with original oak flooring, a mission style kitchen and a spacious loft perfect for a morning yoga practice.
Stay within walking distance to the center of Gainesville with its farm to plate restaurants and breweries and just minutes to miles of hiking & biking trails.
The space
Make your way up the stairs and into the lovely, covered entrance patio with historic stain glass windows overhead reclaimed from the oldest church in Gainesville.
Step inside and be greeted with soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and original polished oak floors that give the loft apartment its charming, homey feel.
The cozy living space is filled with a comfortable sofa and two matching armchairs that surround the warm gas fireplace and Smart TV no cable with access to Netflix and other streaming apps – the perfect place for a movie night in with a big bowl of popcorn.
Cook up breakfast, lunch and dinner in fully equipped kitchen with custom oak cabinetry and all the basics including a full size fridge/freezer, a freestanding oven, a microwave and a coffee maker along with everything you need to brew up a fresh aromatic pot of coffee to get your day started right.
Serve up meals at the eclectic dining table set for four, or if you don’t feel like cooking, there are many delicious restaurants and cafes all within a short walk away or order in and get your food delivered right to your door.
The master bedroom features a super comfortable queen bed topped with soft linen and bedding with plenty of space to unpack and make yourself at home with a spacious cedar lined closet. Off the master is the ensuite bathroom with a walk in corner shower offering quality Davines shampoo, conditioner and a heritage style pedestal basin.
The second sun-filled bedroom also features a large queen bed and its own bathroom with a relaxing full-size bath, an overhead shower and a vanity with luxe Aveda amenities.
Upstairs you will find the unique loft that is the ideal space to set up your yoga mat in the morning and practice your sun salutations. It is also a nice quiet place to come and read a book or just hang out with friends.
Guests have full access to the shared laundry room downstairs with a washing machine and dryer as well as free parking and complimentary WiFi perfect for streaming or catching up on any work or study while you’re visiting. Included with the stay is a 20% off voucher for you to treat yourself to any service at the on-site Mode Salon and Spa.
At the end of the day sit out on the porch with the warm afternoon sun streaming through the stained glass windows with the heady fragrance of the climbing jasmine wafting in through the air as you enjoy a drink or two and the views out to the historic buildings.
So if you are looking for a great central place to base yourself while visiting Gainesville with top restaurants, shopping and nightlife all right on your doorstep, look no further than this unique, historic loft apartment for your next getaway. We can’t wait to welcome you!

About the host
Hosted by Property Manager/Owner

We are Gainesville locals who made this forward thinking city our home for the past 20 years. Lonie and I own Mode Salon and Spa's and Dalo properties. We specialize in unique historic spaces in the downtown B&B district. In 2011 we decided to share our hidden gems with the world on VRBO. In 2015 we decided to go Tiny on FYI hit tv show "Tiny House Nation" Our salon, spa and properties were featured on season 4 episode 9. It's called 600 sqft Tiny Victorian!
