My daughter and I stayed here for two nights while we learned about Gainesville and UF. We enjoyed this host and his property! Beautiful, peaceful setting close to town but the feeling of being in the country. Many animals to see. The lake is beautiful. The property was very clean, well stocked, full of historical artifacts and culture! Will stay again!!!!

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!
