About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Hoggtown Hideaway

Hoggtown Hideaway provides the perfect tranquility you need after a long day. Featuring a garden room with a hammock and lots of windows, it is a very peaceful spot.

Only 1.8 miles from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and 4 miles from both Shands and NFRMC. The house sits in the host's childhood neighborhood. Enjoy the convenience of being tucked away in a bubble of good old fashion neighborhood charm.

Ideal for 1-2 people, The Hideaway is peaceful with plants, plenty of windows and natural light. Spend your afternoon with a good book & relax in the hammock. This is by far, my most favorite space! If you've had an adventurous day & come home late, the courtyard will be automatically lit after dark.

At bed time, pull the blackout curtains and nestle under the quilt on a queen gel mattress. You won't want to get up but when you do... the coffee and tea area is stocked and ready for you!

We hope we've thought of everything but please let us know if you need more than the following:

>Plenty of fresh towels & wash cloths
>Shampoo, conditioner & body soap
>Kitchen gadgets for preparing meals
>Utensils & basic spices
>Cutting boards
>Sharp knives
>Drip coffee maker, filters, cream & sugar
>Coffee, tea & cocoa
>Microwave
>Ironing board & iron
>Extra blankets
>Board games & cards

The television is a 65” smart TV. We have an antenna but do not offer cable. Feel free to log into your own streaming services. We hope you enjoy the many choices offered by this “way-smarter-than-me” TV! If you’re looking for a special live athletic event, we suggest Gator Dockside right around the corner! Try the wings!

Send us a message for any special requests. We'll do what we can to make them happen. We want your stay to be the very best at The Hoggtown Hideaway!

Your driveway is on the right side of the front yard. There is room for two vehicles. One on the driveway in front of the house and the other on the concrete pad under the cover. This will make complete sense when you arrive.

I am just a phone call or a text away!

Quiet neighborhood and very walkable. Walk your family to the park, to the woods, to the stadium or even to dinner!

Ride share services like Uber are available as well as public transportation. There is a bus stop at the end of the block. If you’re headed a little further to explore local springs or adventure farther to theme parks, Hwy441 and I-75 are easily accessible from the house.

Hoggtown Hideaway is an attached suite connected to The Gator Getaway, also a short term rental. Your living space, parking and yard are private and likely, you will not see the other guests.

Traveling with your pet? We welcome your whole family! Fenced yard and walkable neighborhood makes your stay equally enjoyable for you and your pet. Please, only animals with current vaccinations and flea control.

Lastly, if bringing a third person, the bed and pull out couch share the same room. More adventurous sleepers can "crash" on the futon or hammock in the garden room.
Pets must be pre-approved. We appreciate that you pick up poops. This provides a more sanitary yard for all our guests.
Unapproved pets will result unfavorably.

We ask that you treat the house and neighborhood with respect.
Observe quiet hours 10pm-7am

No smoking or vaping inside or on the premises.
Park in designated areas.
Parties will not be tolerated.
Only registered guests permitted.

With all that said, ultimately, we ask you enjoy and make great memories while you’re here!
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a fenced private yard.

Beautiful, peaceful Hideaway!

Stayed more than two months in this real gem in central Gainesville, quietly hidden away and yet most convenient to University of Florida and Gainesville’s wealth of conveniences, sites, shopping, and dining. Hospitality from the property manager was exemplary, from response to property issues to flexibility with my rental arrangements. I give my highest recommendation for customer service and convenience.

Sun and solitude

The pictures matched. Check in and check out was quick and easy. Communication with the owner was clear and quick. The area is nicely secluded and was pretty quiet for the weekend of Gator Nationals while being close to major shopping areas for groceries, food, etc. When I have more time and a less solemn reason to visit, I definitely would stay here again and bring my mom back too.

Last minute stay

We decided to spend the weekend in Gainesville less than 24 hours prior to our arrival. Lisa worked with me and the VRBO site to book our stay. The home was was suitable for our family of three and the courtyard gave our two small dogs a place to roam. We didn't use the kitchen, but the bathroom was well-supplied.

Hidden gem

We weren't in town for football, which is apparently a big deal in that neck of the woods, but it was a perfect location to commute to a music festival in Reddick. Nestled in a very quiet neighborhood but less than 10 minutes from any major shopping/restaurant you would need. It was too hot to enjoy the courtyard but I'm sure it would be great in the fall.

Two day stay

Nice place close to Gator football. Initially parked in drive but large ant pile found while unloading. Lots of yard debris out back but understandable from Hurricane that had just pasted. Entered to find nice accommodations. Walked through some spider webs in the kitchen but place was clean and quaint. I think normal price for stay said 160ish. During football though it was a minimum of two days and cost about 2500 with fees so that was a little outrageous. It was nice to have a place close by the stadium.

So charming, you’ll never want to leave!

Due to Hurricane Milton, my pets and I were displaced for over a month. I could not have had a more enjoyable time making the most of what could’ve been far more stressful. With all the special touches, like an inside hammock, beautiful houseplants, and twinkling lights, I felt like I was living in a Hallmark movie. Coworkers even thought my real background was virtual because it’s such a charming spot!It’s nestled in a super cute, mid-century neighborhood very close to UF, local trails, and restaurants. Above all, Lisa was an incredible host and she goes above and beyond to make sure you are enjoying your stay, even adding a fire pit to make our Gainesville winter a little warmer. We will be back and I have told all my friends they must stay here when in town for games!

A great place to settle and recharge

I came down for the month of March to join my horses who shipped to Ocala in January. I needed a place where I could efficiently work remotely, a yard for my westie to play in, a kitchen to cook and not need to go out all the time, and a safe and chill location. The Hideaway was all of these things and more. Equally important was the the attentiveness and kindness of the host, Lisa. Top ratings across the board! I have never been away from home or my husband for so long, and where I stayed was going to be a huge factor on whether the experience was a success or not, and I am happy to say it was absolutely fabulous! <3 Cole

Disliked: Amenities
No heat. Host did not tell us about portable heaters stored in laundry room. No way to contact her. Very cold first night. Bed had thin covering. Next day we found extra blankets in a basket. Again, host did not advise us of blankets. Again, no way to contact host. Second night we used the portable heaters, but electricity went out when we tried to use the microwave. Gas stove barely had a flame. .Again no way to contact host.this place was so miserable that we cut our stay short and returned home a day early.
