Comfy home!

Our stay was amazing! Great location close to the cancer center which was the reason we needed a place for 5 weeks. It was 3 adult and 2 small pups and the place felt like home away from home. We highly recommend it!

Game weekend stay in Gainesville

The house was big and would be great if you have multiple parties staying, as it is pretty spread out to give everyone their space. It is an older home and a little outdated but perfect for a weekend stay to visit Gainesville and attend the game. It served our needs nicely. While we didn’t end up bringing our pets, I liked that it was pet friendly and had a fenced-in backyard. One thing I’d like to note though, we arrived at dark and there isn’t a sidewalk from the driveway to the front door and no lights were on outside the home, so we had to use our phone flashlights to see how maneuver through the grass with our luggage to get in to the front door. Also, the beds were a little worn out but nothing we couldn’t deal with. Overall it was a nice place for a quick weekend stay.

Lovely House

We loved the house. It was in a great neighborhood with no concerns of safety. I loved the charm of the old house and there was plenty of room to spread out.
