Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Alachua County

This was a nice place to stay. Very clean and spacious. Easy access to Gainesville if needed.

Great as always. We've stayed at Dave's place multiple times. I don't think we could stay anywhere else for our trip to Gainesville. He's the best.

We stayed for 2 weeks during the holidays, because we have family nearby. It was absolutely wonderful! The place is gorgeous, well equipped and well maintained! It's quiet and private, making it a perfect spot for us to relax in between family activities or work "from home" when that was needed. It truly felt like coming home. We're very likely to stay here again in future visits.

These are the best hosts ever!! They go out of their way to make you feel welcome--providing everything you will need during the stay. The house is cozy and the surroundings are beautiful. I spent time sitting out front seeing the cardinals, hummingbirds and horses. The kitchen has everything you need, very well equipped. There is a keurig and a regular coffee maker with everything you need to make coffee. Plenty of towels, and blankets are everywhere. The beds were comfy, AC worked great, and the area is really peaceful and quiet. The hosts are always responsive and incredibly kind. We were three generations staying and my elderly mother with mobility issues was quite comfortable in this house. Highly recommend!

This Airbnb was awesome, the house was very old and had a great energy to it. My minor critiques are in the layout, there’s one room that can only be accessed by going through other rooms and the bedroom/bathroom doors don’t lock, besides that everything was incredible.

Stayed for 5 nights, and it was lovely. The house is very clean and comfortable. Super easy to find the house and check in. Loved having the 2 living rooms. The outdoor space was fantastic. Perfect place to have a cookout and relax. All the furnishings were very comfy and the kitchen was probably the best stocked of any Airbnb we’ve stayed in. The hosts were friendly and responsive. We didn’t have any issues during our stay, and I would definitely recommend this house to anyone staying in the area. Look forward to coming back next year.

Super clean, cozy home with easy-to-follow instructions. Located in a quiet, peaceful area but still really close to everything you need — the perfect spot for a Gainesville getaway.

A great stay! The home was super cute and comfortable, I loved the outside area by the main entrance and the backyard was great. It was exactly as described. Easy check in and easy checkout. The kitchen was really impressive with the amount of supplies, such as an air fryer, pans, pots, the whole nine yards! I stayed for work and I would definitely reserve again when I come back to the area!

This was my second stay at the Blu water retreat and I plan to book again for my next visit to the area. Cathy and Dale are wonderful people and hosts. Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Positive Review We stayed in the Hodge’s Suite for a month, and it was a great experience. Cindy, who takes care of the guests, was amazing with us — always willing to help. The room is beautiful, with a good bed and shower, and a well-equipped kitchen. Everything was clean when we arrived, and the area around the house is very nice. It’s super close to Depot Park, the clock square, and the library! We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the experience. The only downside is the acoustics: unfortunately, if the guest upstairs walked heavily, we could hear it downstairs. But it’s definitely not something that would make me take points off the room. Highly recommend!

Great location in Haille Village near restaurants. Apartment was very clean and well stocked. Larina was very responsive and accommodating!
