About this property
Moondrift Guesthouse - Secluded and Relaxing
On 5 beautiful country acres, our guesthouse is perfect for peaceful relaxation. Grab a cup of coffee and head to the patio to catch up on that book you have been meaning to get too, or take a dip in the hot tub to give your aching muscles a rest. In the evening, cozy up outside and catch the breathtaking views of the moon and stars. After a memory-filled evening, snuggle up in our cozy bed and stream your favorites on the Smart TV! Great space for those looking to re-connect with nature.
Guest access
Please note: The main home on the property is not for guest access. This listing is for the guesthouse only. Guesthouse is on 5 acres and is separated from the owner-occupied main residence by a covered area where you can relax to enjoy views of the farm.
The back deck and hot tub are attached to the main home, but guests are welcome to use both during their stay.
We look forward to hosting you at our farm and
ask all our guests to confirm they are good with dogs since they roam freely on the farm.
Guests staying 7 days or longer are welcome to use our propane grill located on the patio of the owner's home. Grill tools are located under the grill cover. Please remember to clean the grill when finished cooking and turn off propane tank.
Guests are also welcome to use the hammock! Get cozy and enjoy an afternoon nap in the FL sun!
FREE uncovered driveway parking next to Guesthouse (3 spaces) - Covered Parking available upon request.
Cozy, clean, and all on one level, one bedroom apartment with private driveway in safe countryside. Quiet, picturesque country setting yet still not far from town of Alachua (grocery stores within 10 minutes); Gainesville only 20-30 minutes away. Many attractions. Within only few hours to Jacksonville or Orlando. Ocala within an hour.
