Not the city

Nice little cottage. beds were comfortable and the place is immaculate. the landscaping is a bit out of control as vines and bushes were intruding on the back porch. All in all this place is a great value.

Quaint Cottage

Very peaceful, relaxing setting. We used it as a hub to travel to nearby towns and springs. We did need to call the host because we could not get the tv's to work. They did respond and resolve it right away. The only thing that needs attention is that the locks on the jack and jill bathroom do not work.

Relaxing

Nice old Florida vibe. The only complaint is the noise from the traffic but it gets quiet at night. It's a really cool old house with great trees and relaxing porch. The hosts are nice.

We will stay here again. Cute Florida cottage! Reminds me of my grandmothers house with wood floors and glass doorknobs. Beds were comfortable. location off main road, easy to get to. Close enough to Gainesville for grocery shopping.
