Clean and Comfortable home!
Home was immaculate, extremely comfortable, and well stocked. Cooked in both nights and had everything we needed. Really enjoyed the gas fire pit in the backyard. The TV was amazing for watching sports and shows! Makes me want to upgrade ours at home! Lisa was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. She clearly takes pride in her home as it was so clean! Would stay again!

Weekend in Gainesville
My family and I came to town unfortunately for a funeral. This place really helped give us a chance to spend time together comfortably as a family. Very neat, comfortable, and updated home. The rear patio is a great sit around area . Not far from anything great place
