We loved this spot! The farmhouse was clean, comfortable, and had everything you needed. The beds were nice and comfortable which is a huge thing for us and there was plenty of room for our group. They had game systems, books, board games, blocks, etc which would be really great for families and it was easy access to Gainesville.

Hidden Gem

The property hits every mark. Well manicured, check. Spacious, check. Amenities, check.I am not a wordy person but I have nothing but positive comments about the property and the host. Stephanie went above and beyond throughout the process. She baked fresh muffins and met us to check in. The frigde was stocked to include eggs and bacon. The towels were all Egyptian cotton and the linens were of top quality.Our family would have preferred keyless entry as we came and went at different times, but we found a work around. My family truly enjoed our stay at this hidden gem.
