Looking to do some outdoor cooking? We have a grill for you to use, along with utensils for the grill. You just provide the charcoal and lighter fluid.
One hour massages available at $45. All services are on a cash basis.
I do ask that you please not open the windows as the moisture and pollen will affect the paintings. Please keep the outside door locked when not on the property. There is a nice patio with comfortable chairs and swing on the garage patio for fresh air and your enjoyment close to your entrance.
Be sure to watch an amazing sunrise or sunset on Newnans Lake at Palm Point, a nice walk from the apartment.

About the host
Hosted by Greg DeLong
Semi-retired Air Force Vietnam veteran that enjoys nature and life. Have been a resident of Gainesville for over 40 years and love it here. Very involved in a open and affirming church that is involved in social justice. I'm a free-lance graphic designer/photographer. Very outgoing and love interaction with all people. You will find out that I love history, especially family history that dates back to 1632 as Massachusetts Bay Colonists. I am single and have a grown daughter and grandson that lives out of town. I have a female shetland sheepdogs that are almost 11 years old and a total joy to be with.
Why they chose this property
Looking for peace and quiet and enjoy what nature has to offer, look no further. This estate is on 1.5 acres located within the Alachua County Conservation Area. If you are a birder, this area is a migratory bird path according to the Audubon Society. You will not only see water birds, but also eagle, osprey, hawks and bard owls. Currently I have a doe with her two fawns that visit daily. Of course I feed them deer corn!
After birding, biking or hiking get a massage from me!
