Courtyard by Marriott Gainesville GA
I lived in Gainesville for 30 years. It was exciting to come home and see this beautiful hotel so conveniently located in the middle of downtown with access to restaurants and shopping! This is exactly where you want to be. The rooms are clean, large, well appointed, and quiet.

Lindo Lanier Cottage in Gainesville
Nicole was very responsive. The cottage is a very nice space to hang out and is beautifully decorated. There’s a picnic table close to the house and the waterfront is so close. We had gorgeous sunsets.

Fabulous views on nice cove! Easy short walk to dock. Outdoor kitchen & fire pit
This was our second time booking here. It was just as great of a long weekend as the first. House was slightly updated since 4 years ago, clean, peaceful, well equipped, and in a wonderful part of the lake for fishing. Joni’s communication is excellent too!
