Pet Info: Our cozy home is dog-friendly, but please note that we only allow dogs, no other pets are allowed. Additionally, we kindly ask that dogs are crated when left alone in the house for their safety and the preservation of our home. Also, all dogs must use a blanket when on couches and beds to keep them clean.

We understand that accidents happen, but we kindly ask that all guests pick up after their dogs in our yard and on walks. Any damages caused by the dogs will be charged to the guests. Additionally, we only allow a maximum of two dogs, so please let us know in advance if you plan to bring more than two dogs.

Bug Info: Please note that our home is located in a beautiful, but swampy area of Gainesville. While we have implemented pest control measures, it is not always feasible to prevent all insects or animals from entering the home. Depending on the season, guests may encounter mosquitoes, moths, gnats, flies, bees, ants, or spiders during their stay. To ensure your comfort, we recommend bringing a supply of mosquito repellent.

Refund Policy: Our cancellation policy states that we are unable to offer refunds or compensation for cancellations made outside of the designated timeframe outlined in our policy. We recommend that you consider purchasing travel or personal liability insurance to protect against unexpected emergencies. In the event of a mandatory evacuation, we will provide a full refund. Additionally, we highly recommend obtaining travel insurance during the months of June through November, as there is a possibility of hurricanes or tropical storms in the area. While these storms are not common in Gainesville, they can be unpredictable and it is best to be prepared.

Gainesville Getaway!

Very nice place to stay with tons of space and lots of rooms. I did not realize we had chosen a 4 bedroom place for just 2 of us but that's okay was cozy! Great location, short walk to hiking through Loblolly Woods, and not too far from anything else in Gainesville. Would stay here again!

Perfect retreat

The mural home was a cozy retreat for us while visiting our family. Yoshimi was a wonderful host, and answered all our questions quickly and thoroughly. The house is conveniently located; everything we needed was just a short drive away. My son loved the nearby playground! We hope to return the next time we are in Gainesville.

Consistently Wonderful

This was the second time we stayed at the Mural House and one year later the house was just as clean and comfortable as our previous stay. Yoshimi was just as attentive and ready to assist as the last time we stayed. Great host, great house in a great location!

Convenient and Quiet Neighborhood

The house is located in a serene residential neighborhood, quiet but easy access to main roads and the university. The screened in porch is nice for morning coffee and evening relaxation. Yoshimi provided all essentials and the local coffee was much appreciated. Note (I missed it in the description) that there is NO cable TV, just the Smart TV - fortunately my kids were with me and after some scrambling they were able to patch in to our DirectTV account or we would have missed the game. Otherwise we had a very enjoyable stay.

Great Location.....

This house is in a nice quiet neighborhood. It is located very close to the "center" of all major activities. There were 5 of us and we had plenty of room. It has a beautifully painted mural on one wall. The house has your absolute basic of necessities. Screened in porch was nice. I like walking around yards looking at plants, flowers, etc., but we could not do so as the yard was very overgrown and had not been cut in a while.

Comfortable space, not lacking anything

We enjoyed our stay. The location was great, neighborhood was quiet, beds were comfortable. My only suggestion is the ceiling fan needs to be repaired or replaced in the room with the bathroom connected. It clicks and rattles constantly. The pillows were VERY firm which was wasn't terrible but a couple of softer options would have been nice. Local coffee was a nice touch. Overall, we enjoyed our time there. Thanks for hosting us!
