Fantastic House!!!!

We recently stayed in the Cozy Cottage for a family wedding in Gainesville and had an absolutely amazing experience from booking to check-out! The house and property as fantastic in every regard. The property was very well finished and equipped. My only regret is that we didn't have our 4-legged family members with us. They would have been even more comfortable than we were! Should we ever need to return to Gainesville, we will be staying here again for sure!!!
