Absolutely fabulous place to stay. We throughly enjoyed our 3 nights at this delightful apartment. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The apartment was clean and well equipped with everything you need. The area was teaming with wildlife. Bring your own K-cups for morning coffee. Ask your host about Micanopy, It’s a beautiful little town not far away. Wouldn’t hesitate to book a stay here again if we’re in the area.

Calming getaway from the hustle and bustle, yet still a quick drive to the university, downtown and Archer Road area. Apartment is very cozy, peaceful, and we enjoyed the nature including all the birds and even saw a ton of turkeys. Greg was very hospitable and we will definitely be back when we visit Gainesville again.

Greg is an excellent and attentive host. He greeted us when we arrived and gave us the grand tour of the apartment and the grounds. We met the koi and the turkeys and enjoyed fresh oranges from the orchard. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The bikes were a great bonus - we rode down to the lake and hung out with the alligators and the birds. If we're ever in the Gainesville area again, we'll definitely stay here.

10/10! My daughter and I stayed for 4 nights and were both sad to leave! We felt welcomed, and comfortable in the apartment and surroundings. The wildlife and koi pond were delightful as were the artwork and history displayed inside. Very clean, slept well, awesome shower, and the kitchen has everything you could need. This was a great place to relax on the porch watching and listening for birds as well as a jumping off point for walking Paynes Prairie and touring UF. We hope to return!! Thank you, Greg!

Greg was the perfect host throughout our stay. His place is immaculate, bright, and charming as can be. Greeting my daughter and I with some fresh, beautiful, and fragrant gardenias from his garden was such a nice gesture! Learning about the history behind the beautiful pieces of art in his place was very fascinating. The location is serene and peaceful - tucked away in lush nature. Believe him when he says you won’t want to get out of the shower! We’ve never experienced such nice water pressure before! The sofa bed is extremely comfortable. To wrap my review up - if your travels ever bring you to Gainesville and surrounding areas - you should definitely give this place a chance! Thank you so much, Greg!

I had a wonderful time here. Everything was beautifully arranged inside the house. There’s very nice pottery and artwork decorating the walls. I’m happy about my timing because the Orange, Grapefruit, and lemon trees were loaded with fruit! Greg was a fantastic host who is very knowledgeable about many things but especially the surrounding area and the state of Florida. I highly recommend this place.

We had a wonderful time in this natural setting. Greg was a fantastic host and gave us a thorough tour of the property along with it's history. This upstairs apartment was beautifully decorated, and very complete with everything we needed. It felt like home being there. The surroundings were natural, serene, and peaceful. It was still just a short drive to Gainesville and the University of Florida. We hope to stay there again when we return to Gainesville.

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a Floridian road trip. Greg is an amazing host, his communication was 1st class from the moment we booked until we departed. The property is wonderful, full of character and we enjoyed learning about the history of the property and the artefacts within. We were here to enjoy the local wildlife, of which there is plenty, including many bird species in the garden. We would highly recommend a stay here.
