Kate was awesome to deal with. The house was a perfect location to everything we needed, and close to our son. The listing was accurate and just the cutest house. Clean, great amenities, and very friendly and responsive host. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect stay for the Holidays

We have extended family in Gainesville and they hosted Thanksgiving. This house was perfect for us, it suited everyone’s needs and 5 minutes from the rest of our family. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area or looking for a staycation.

This house is AWESOME! I lived all of the space it gave my family and the location to the square. The owners were very friendly and answered all of my questions quickly. Check in/out process was a breeze and the hose was well stocked with everything we needed! Thanks for having us! :)

Such a great home! Lots of space for large family. Communication with host was immediate. Close to everything downtown, yet very quiet. Super TicTacToe was a hit with all of the adults!

Cutest little house with the best porch!

We had a wonderful, comfortable stay here in June 2025. Kate went out of her way to provide toys and fun things for my kiddos, and my favorite part was enjoying the rocking chairs on the screened front porch!

Perfection in Gainesville, GA

Excellent hosts, exactly as advertised! The pictures don’t do this place justice. Room for everyone to spread out and yet cozy. We had a lovely stay and will certainly book here next time we are in Gainesville!
