John and Meredith are the owners and property managers. This was our first house after graduating from UF and where we started growing our family. We have been in Gainesville many years, so we know a lot about the highlights of this area. We are excited to share this special property with our guests. We lived in this house for over 15 years. John works at the VA as a social worker with homeless veterans and Meredith is an elementary school teacher. We will do our best to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
