Hoggtown Hideaway provides the perfect tranquility you need after a long day. Featuring a garden room with a hammock and lots of windows, it is a very peaceful spot.
Only 1.8 miles from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and 4 miles from both Shands and NFRMC. The house sits in the host's childhood neighborhood. Enjoy the convenience of being tucked away in a bubble of good old fashion neighborhood charm.
Ideal for 1-2 people, spend your afternoon with a good book or use the Hideaway as base as you explore Gainesville and/or local springs/trails/parks. This is by far, my most favorite space! If you've had an adventurous day & come home late, the courtyard is lit after dark. At bed time, pull the blackout curtains and nestle under the quilts. When you wake, the coffee and tea area is stocked and ready. We provide creamer and sugar to get you started.

The television is a 65” smart TV. We have an antenna but do not offer cable. Feel free to log into your own streaming services. We hope you enjoy the many choices offered by this “way-smarter-than-me” TV! If you’re looking for a special live athletic event, we suggest Gator Dockside right around the corner! Try the wings!
Send us a message for any special requests. We'll do what we can to make them happen. We want your stay to be the very best at The Hoggtown Hideaway!
Your driveway is on the right side of the front yard. We ask that you park either facing window, which is the hammock room, or on the right between the house and fence, facing the gate.
Quiet neighborhood and very walkable. Walk your family to the park, to the woods, to the stadium or even to dinner!
Ride share services like Uber are available as well as public transportation. There is a bus stop at the end of the block. If you’re headed a little further to explore local springs or adventure farther to theme parks, Hwy441 and I-75 are easily accessible from the house.
Hoggtown Hideaway is an attached suite connected to The Gator Getaway, also a short term rental. Your living space, parking and yard are private. The only space you share is the curb.
Lastly, if bringing a third person, the bed and pull-out couch share the same room. More adventurous sleepers can "crash" on the futon or hammock in the garden room.
We ask that you treat the house and neighborhood with respect.
Observe quiet hours 10pm-7am
Park in designated areas.
No smoking or vaping inside or on the premises.
Parties will not be tolerated.
Only registered guests permitted.
For families bringing pets, we welcome 2 canines for the one $65 pet fee. You may request approval for additional pets. Unapproved pets will result unfavorably. We request & appreciate that you pick up poops. This provides a more sanitary yard for all our guests.
With all that said, ultimately, we ask you enjoy and make great memories while you’re here!
