Top Gainesville Raceway Hotel Reviews

Charming Farmhouse Relax w/ Heated Massage Chair

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very clean and comfortable. Everything worked and the air conditioning kept the temperature in an ideal state. The host was very accommodating after recognizing a mistake in booking. It was handled swiftly and amicably, which was greatly appreciated. I feel very comfortable recommending this property. It has room for 10 people in a bed. The only downside is not having a bathroom on the Northside side of the house."
