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!

Great place to stay for visiting Gainesville or Micanopy. Loved watching the turkeys in the morning from the outside patio area. Sofa bed was unexpectedly very comfortable along with the queen bed. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking our meals including a Keurig! (So many other places don't have Keurigs.) Thank you. And Greg was a wonderful host. We learned a lot from him regarding the history of the area and more. If we needed anything or just had a question, Greg was just a text away.

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.
