About the host
Hosted by Elena with Local Haven Stays
As a proud UF Alumni, I have recently returned to my roots in the historic district within the heart of Gainesville, Florida!
I am passionate about hosting, travel, short-term rentals specializing in elevated luxury and unique spaces. I have been in the hospitality industry for 15 years and love meeting new people! I’ve been told I never meet a stranger.
There’s something magical about submersing yourself within local culture and community. I believe in authentic human connections while providing beautiful spaces of solidarity and comfort.

What makes this property unique
This spacious home is cozy and warm. The moment you walk through the door you immediately feel at home. The modern updates, fully stocked necessities and amenities, plus the large fenced in backyard with a built-in bonfire pit, BBQ grill, outdoor furniture and games makes it a perfect place for family gatherings, reunions, and of course Gator Games.
