This house is great!! We used it for business purposes for end of year planning it worked out great for 5 people with the bedrooms/bathrooms along with the big kitchen & dining room and the large outdoor areas. We'll definitely be back this summer!!
Overall great stay. The house is nicely decorated and has a nice flow. The pool looked like it hadn’t been cleaned recently but it was still usable after we removed the leaves and debris with the tools provided. The property manager was responsive and accessible which was nice
This was such a lovely place to stay. Tons of room, well stocked, and just gorgeous. It feels very secluded and like you are in your own world when you are in the house or backyard but then it is 5 minutes from tons of shopping and restaurants. It was the perfect girls weekend.
Everything was great. With the exception of the fridge not working, but I was informed beforehand and we had 2 smaller refrigerators to use! We are planning on coming back next year!!
Title: Spacious, Peaceful, and Perfect for GroupsThis property is spacious, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of room for conversation and relaxation. The quiet backyard and inviting pool area create a wonderful setting to unwind. An external speaker would enhance outdoor TV viewing, especially during football season, but the space is excellent as is. Ample parking, including Class A RV parking is a great bonus. The riveway is a bit rough, but manageable. Overall, a comfortable and tranquil retreat I would confidently recommend for group stays.
The home was wonderful for a big group of friends. It is spacious, well appointed, great character of space. Julie and Mark were easy to communicate with and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. We highly recommend this home.
Our large family stayed here for Christmas week and we had a great time! House is large and has everything you need! Great backyard! Would stay here again! Thanks for hosting us!
This property was awesome, and just as advertised. We had a great stay and especially the outdoor area of the house after we returned from playing golf. I would recommend this property.
Overall our group really enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Tea house. The location is wonderful and conveniently located near downtown Gainesville and a variety of retail stores. The house accommodated everyone nicely however, the bedding, patio cushions, and first floor couches could use some refreshing.
We enjoyed the pool, outdoor kitchen, large indoor kitchen and huge dining table for card games.
Great accomodations for multiple families.
Having an extra refrigerator for drinks and a stand alone ice maker really helped.
This was an absolutely unbelievable property, even better than the pictures suggest! We had a large group and this house was perfect. Hosts were super responsive and made our experience so seamless! Cannot recommend this place highly enough!
property located 2 miles from wedding venue and 1.5 miles from downtown. Saw several deer every morning in the back yard including a 10 point buck. Very quiet neighborhood and plenty of room.
This was a perfect house for our 16 person golf trip. The outdoor patio was great to hang out and watch TV. If we come back to the area next year for our trip, we will definitely be staying at this house again.
Our family had a wonderful time this week at Sweet Tea!! We had ample room for our family inside as well as outside around the pool. The property was very well stocked. It was also a very quiet and private area. Would definitely recommend this property and owners to those looking for family time together! 👍
We loved our time at Sweet Tea Estate! The property was perfect for our needs and comfortably housed all 16 of us. It was incredibly convenient to food, shopping and downtown Gainesville. We wished we could stay longer! Thank you for helping us create lasting memories!
We really enjoyed our stay, the house was spacious and the backyard was wonderful. Ample space for a large group. The backyard is full of amenities along with being private and peaceful at the same time.
