Home Away from Home
Although our trip was short we felt very at home! The house and area were exceptional. We had everything we needed to get by. It was located close enough to Gainesville but secluded enough to feel like we were country living. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evening listening to the rain and all the critters. Check in/out was a breeze. The hosts Rusty and Alexandra were helpful when we locked the keys in the house. Rusty was there within 5 mins to let us in. There is not one thing I can complain about! Looking forward to staying there again in the future!!

Quaint cottage
Booking this property in McIntosh was a great idea for the UM v. UF weekend. We were 20 minutes from the campus and it was very easy to find. The place was comfortable and clean and 5 minutes from the Payne Prairie Preserve State Park. We did not spend much time in the house but it was just right for what we needed.

Always Lovely
Love this cute old cottage that has been updated. The ambiance is so perfect, reminds me of my great-grandmothers home in the country. Quiet old Florida withth 100 year old churches, huge vintage oaks, and Sandhill Cranes roaming the yards. And of course the Orange tree in the front yard. Thank you for our 3rd stay and looking forward to the next.

Comfortable and clean
Really enjoyed staying in this small house in a quiet neighborhood close to Micanopy and Gainesville. The house was very clean and communication and check in were great. The bed in the back bedroom is very comfortable. The only downside was the v slow drain in the tub/shower but hopefully that has been fixed by now. Lost one star for that.

Perfect Location
Quaint little cottage set in an even quainter, quiet little town. House was spotless and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. We were visiting to do some hiking and birding in the Paines Prairie State Park areas and Sweetwater Wetlands Park in Gainesville. Not only did we have a fantastic time birding these areas , we visited Miconopy for some shopping and dining both Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Blue Highway Pizza, and Antonio’s were dinner spots , Breakfast was at the Pearl Country Store and Barbecue, and lunch at the Old World Cafe. All within a few miles drive. I also purchased some plants at a little store within walking distance of the Cottage. We could not have asked for a better location. We even spotted several bird species including Sandhill Cranes in a walk about McIntosh where all the neighbors were friendly ! If your looking for a quiet relaxed getaway, this is the place for you !

Lovely home - clean and peaceful
We stayed for the weekend while visiting family nearby. The house was clean and tidy - sheets and towels were soft and fresh. All surfaces, even the wicker headboard, free of dust and mess. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful in the evening - we woke up to birdsong both days. There’s a binder with hikes and menus from restaurants nearby. It was a very relaxing place to come back to at the end of the day. Thanks for keeping such a lovely house!
