Romantic Barn Retreat - 7 Private Acres Near Gainesville, Firepit & Springs

Escape to The Barn at Whispering Grove, a peaceful retreat nestled on 7 private acres near Gainesville, Florida. Perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers, this cozy two-bedroom barn features a warm living area, a fully equipped kitchenette with a full-size fridge and microwave, Wi-Fi, and free streaming on Netflix and Prime Video.

Step outside to enjoy the garden patio, BBQ grill, and firepit for unforgettable evenings under the stars. Two loft bedrooms offer a queen bed and two twin beds (note: loft ceilings are 40 inches high—cozy for sleeping, but not full standing height).

Located just 20 minutes from Poe and Blue Springs, the ISKCON Temple, and the University of Florida—with nearby trails, dining, and charming shops—this serene escape is the perfect blend of comfort and nature.
