Awesome house

This house is so cute! Great vibe to it. Looks exactly like the pictures. The backyard is so beautiful at night when lit up. The host was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

"Groovy" Stay

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this property. Great accommodations and kitchen set up. The backyard was truly special with the fire pit and Adirondack chairs. Lots of activities: pool table, ping pong, hammock, swinging chairs and playing albums on a record player in the living room. Definitely will re-book on our next visit to Gainesville. Thanks to all.
