Second time staying was just as amazing

Our return visit to Sally’s cottage was just as we remembered. It was clean, adorable, and so comfortable. The bed is fantastic. Our 8yo loved checking out the chickens and we ate some fresh eggs for breakfast. Sally’s hospitality is thoughtful and experienced. We will return again for sure.

Country Cottage Didn't Disappoint

Enjoyed our stay at the lovely Cottage. Very clean with everything you need. Hosts were super nice and great with communication. Hiked the trails nearby and UF was close for the football game and volleyball games. Saw a huge buck on the dirt road coming in. Would most definitely stay here again!

Spotless and charming. Out of the fray, but still close to whatever you need. A family of deer met us coming and going. We needed to be at UF, and got there in minutes. Highly recommend, would absolutely stay again.

Perfect Home Away From Home

We needed to spend 4 nights in Gainesville for multiple spring graduation ceremonies. A cramped hotel room was not a desirable option. I couldn't have found a better place to spend our downtime between all of the festivities. Sally & Andres were the perfect hosts and their cute guest house was everything we needed and more. From a comfortable bed, space to spread out to work on our laptops and having small special requests met - we wanted for nothing! The location is away from campus (about 20-25 minutes), but the drive is very easy and worth being out in the quiet countryside. Loved hearing the birds and animals on the property. Thank you, Sally & Andres, for sharing your home with us on such an important weekend for our family. Please give the kitty head scratches as we didn't get to see him when we departed :)

Immaculate guest house, lovely owners

This cottage was perfect for our weekend trip to Gainesville for a mountain bike race. We were minutes away from both San Felasco and Hailes Trails. My husband, 5-year-old daughter and I loved the property. It’s down a well maintained dirt road in what looks like a great neighborhood. We saw a deer on our way in the first night! Lots of beautiful old trees. The home is very cute and well lit at night. It’s furnished tastefully and was sparkling clean. Our bed was comfy and my little one slept without complaints on the pullout couch. There were plenty of towels available, shower was nice and hot with great water pressure. Everything we could ask for was available. Sally and her husband were exemplary hosts and made us feel welcomed and comfortable. She even let my little one help her feed the chickens!! We plan on staying again for the next race.
