Stay for UF vs. UM Game

Had a great time with friends. Although the house is about 30 minutes from the stadium it was super convenient as there was no game day traffic coming in from the east. The house was big, comfortable, clean, well-furnished and right on the lake with beautiful views. I will definitely look into staying here again on game weeks.
