Romantic Barn Retreat - 7 Private Acres Near Gainesville, Firepit & Springs

Perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers, this cozy two-bedroom barn features a warm living area, a fully equipped kitchenette with a full-size fridge and microwave, Wi-Fi, and free streaming on Netflix and Prime Video.

Step outside to enjoy the garden patio, BBQ grill, and firepit for unforgettable evenings under the stars. Two loft bedrooms offer a queen bed and two twin beds (note: loft ceilings are 40 inches high—cozy for sleeping, but not full standing height).
