Perfect Getaway
Very comfortable home in quiet neighborhood. Perfectly located for access to springs, Temple of the Universe and Downtown Gainesville. It was a quick trip and the house accommodated our family of four, our single friend and my mother and her husband. We highly recommend this property.

Nice, roomy house
We came down to Gainesville so my huband could have surgery. The home was very roomy and provided us with a great place to live for 16 days. The only problem wwe had was a broken can opener and no dish towels. I let Lisa know our problem and within a couple of hours, both were hanging on the front door. Thank you so much, Lisa and Jarred!

Daughter’s Graduation @UF
Your home was an absolute dream! Everything was perfect! We had the best weekend with family celebrating my daughter’s graduation from UF. We had plenty of room and great memories were made! Thank you again for being such an amazing host! Great communication and smooth check-in and check-out! The neighborhood is beautiful and the screened in back porch was an added bonus!

Good for seniors
As new snowbirds, what we liked most: the one floor design, fully fenced back yard and within half a mile of three different and shaded dog walk properties (possum, trinity and mill hopper).
