King room at Pareners Branch Creek Guesthouse
This place was a perfect getaway for us. The pool area is amazing and so relaxing. My family enjoyed the pickleball and basketball. The beds were so comfortable and the room was very clean. Jane greeted us and was very friendly and accommodating. We would love to visit again.

Sunflower Acres Cottage
Very nice place about a half hour drive from downtown Gainesville. Quiet location on a small farm in the country. Lorrie was right next door and always available but turns out I didn’t need anything.

Gator Getaway
A great, cozy place to stay. Its the closest place you will find right next to the Easton Archery Center.

Private Studio-Walking Distance to the UF Stadium
I had a great stay at Ryland’s place in Gainesville. The studio was very quiet, modern, and conveniently located near UF—perfect for my weekend trip. It rained the entire time I was in town, so having a covered carport was a huge plus. Inside, everything was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials—coffee, water, club soda, extra linens, and blankets. The studio had been fully upgraded, and the bathroom was especially sleek and modern. I also appreciated having my own private side entrance, which made everything feel even more comfortable and easy. I found a gem in Gainesville and will definitely be booking Ryland’s place again on my next visit.

Beautiful Cottage 10 Minute Walk from UF & Stadium
This was a perfect 5 night stay. The house is beautiful and nothing was overlooked: laundry detergent, cooking oil, appliances, coffee, 2x wide screen TVs with cable, parking, a short walk to the UF Campus and the local bus system, and even an umbrella for the one day of rain we experienced. Rich met us upon arrival and was always responsive. This was the best lodging experience I've ever had, and I've traveled a lot.

Private bed and bath above detached garage.
Bob was extremely helpful and accommodating after my travel partner's unexpected 12 hour flight delay! Went above and beyond to make sure we still had an amazing weekend getaway. 15/10 will be back!

Millhopper Modern near UF&Shands
The place is very nice, peaceful and quiet. All amenities were there ready for use. I would definitely stay again.

Private Detached Pool House With Kitchenette
Very cute little Airbnb with everything we needed for a quick visit for a wedding over the weekend. Didn’t get to use the pool but it was beautiful and available for us to use. The A/C and heat worked which was great because the weather was cold in the mornings and nights but warm during the day. The bed was very comfortable and I was grateful to have a mini fridge to store some leftovers and a microwave to reheat my food later . Great stay, I would highly recommend .

The house of smiles.
The room was nice! It was okay and a good resting place. The bathroom is spacious and we are provided the basics which is great! We have all the basics in the room too! Sink, little fridge with waters, two sofas, and the two beds, and a coffee machine with coffee pods with cups. Definitely a good place to be in if you plan on using it as a resting point. Thank you for everything it made our 2 day trip nice!

Horning’s Guest House -room for 14
Lovely place for large groups, had a pool table, full kitchen, nice woods adjacent and enough beds for the listed 14 to be reasonably comfortable with a couple double ups here and there. Host was nice, place was far enough from their house to not feel like we were imposing, had a large parking space in between. We all loved the place and will be considering booking it again in the future!

Our Nest Cute House!
This was a great little place to stay while visiting my daughter at college for the weekend. It was easy to find, located in a great area, and Luis was very responsive. I had no issues while staying here and would do so again in the future!

Private entrance guest suite
Had a wonderful time staying here. The host is super sweet and responsive. Worth the money!!

"Nest" in the Guest House up in the Trees near UF
The place was really well appointed and thoughtfully put together. It was well decorated and had a lot of nice small touches, like a instruction and guide booklet, and helpful interior signage and labels (e.g., what various light switches controlled). Deborah was super communicative and accommodating. It was very clear that she wanted to make sure her guests had a really enjoyable stay. This place will be first on my list whenever I come back to the area!

Mr. Darcy's Country French Getaway for Two
We would have liked to stay longer. This is a beautiful, quiet property that encourages relaxation.

Sweetwater Studio, on 5 beautiful acres
Nice clean space for our quick weekend getaway. Bhishma provided clear instructions to help us arrive. We kept in touch letting him know we would be late arriving. He made sure the lights were on and the outside was nicely lit to provide Easy access to get in. Tidy and lovely space to relax, comfy beds made for a great night sleep. We drove through the small towns, enjoyed our time roaming through the quaint antique shops then to Gainesville for a little shopping and supper. Thanks Bhishma for a wonderful place to stay.

Cozy guest room w/double at Pareners Branch Creek
Super sweet host, and room was incredibly cozy and I was able to feel right at home ear the beautiful Alachua scenery

Mother in Law suite/Apartment @ Staycation
Another fantastic quick stay at this Airbnb in downtown High Springs! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to great restaurants, shops, and coffee spots, and only a quick drive to the beautiful natural springs. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Whether you're here for outdoor adventures or just to enjoy the charming town, this is the perfect place to stay. I’ll definitely be back!

Cedar Guesthouse
It was a perfect location for visiting my children at the University of Florida. I had a great stay, I felt at home. The only thing was that there was no soap or shampoo, but fortunately I had brought my own. I would definitely stay there again.

One-bedroom guesthouse w/private entrance
Sweet little guest house. Very private; in fact, we never even saw our hostess nor communicated with her while we were there, since we really didn’t need. The kitchen has all the amenities one would need. It felt like her own little home.

Studio guesthouse in the historic Duckpond
This guest house was honestly amazing. There is a private entrance is on the other side of the main house with a great parking spot which made it feel very comfortable. The neighborhood is beautiful and peaceful, felt extremely safe. The place was extremely clean, homey, and spacious. I’d definitely recommend this guest house and would love to stay there again.

Garden Cottage Sanctuary
Laura's cottage was an idyllic place to stay while in Gainesville. The AirBnb was sparkling clean, artfully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. The bottle of wine, basket of snacks and coffee/creamer were a wonderful bonus. The Duck Pond location was perfect and very centrally located to everything we visited in town. Thanks Laura for a fantastic stay!
