Wonderful Stay

We were in town for a sports tournament and this house met all of our needs. We loved the quiet location. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to prepare family meals. The kids enjoyed the foosball table and darts. Will was a great host. We will stay again when we come back in the fall.

We were extremely happy with our stay here. The host was very easy to reach and communicated well before and during our stay, always eager to assist in any way. The property is quiet with beautiful scenery. We enjoyed having a washer/dryer to use, a comfortable living room to relax, plenty of towels and extra blankets, along with numerous bathroom amenities to use. We enjoyed the thoughtful things - such as labeling items throughout the house and luggage racks in the bedrooms, as well as some kitchen items like coffee, and some seasonings to use. We were very comfortable here and would definitely come back. I highly recommend this place for your next visit to the area!

Happy to Have Returned

We LOVE this property and often think of the wonderful past times we've been here. The house is updated but feels like a cozy, inviting home. The grounds are beautifully well kept and we love being outside as well as inside. There are some of the most relaxing reclining chairs in their living room and the beds are so soft. The kitchen is well stocked with quality utensils, check-in and check-out are easy, and our kiddos loved the foosball table. ''The Gainesville House'' is definitely in our top places to stay.

We enjoyed our stay, the place was very clean, well equipped, and the peaceful setting in the country perfect for relaxing. The only thing that we missed was a sponge for washing dishes, and the DVD player didn't work very well. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and will recommend it to others and hope to return sometime in the future.

So nice we stayed twice

This is the second time we have rented this property for a family vacation. We had an absolute blast last time and the second stay was just as perfect as the first. The house is fantastic for the person who wants to compleatly check out and get transported back to a time where life was way simpler. We will 100% be staying for a third time!
