Great place to stay for visiting Gainesville or Micanopy. Loved watching the turkeys in the morning from the outside patio area. Sofa bed was unexpectedly very comfortable along with the queen bed. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking our meals including a Keurig! (So many other places don't have Keurigs.) Thank you. And Greg was a wonderful host. We learned a lot from him regarding the history of the area and more. If we needed anything or just had a question, Greg was just a text away.

I had a wonderful time here. Everything was beautifully arranged inside the house. There’s very nice pottery and artwork decorating the walls. I’m happy about my timing because the Orange, Grapefruit, and lemon trees were loaded with fruit! Greg was a fantastic host who is very knowledgeable about many things but especially the surrounding area and the state of Florida. I highly recommend this place.

We had a wonderful time in this natural setting. Greg was a fantastic host and gave us a thorough tour of the property along with it's history. This upstairs apartment was beautifully decorated, and very complete with everything we needed. It felt like home being there. The surroundings were natural, serene, and peaceful. It was still just a short drive to Gainesville and the University of Florida. We hope to stay there again when we return to Gainesville.

This place is an amazing find. Host is welcoming and you can tell how much pride he takes in his property. It is a quite spot close to, but away from the crowds at the University. We saw a momma deer and her two fawns, and found the tree frogs on the windows at night amusing. Definitely plan on staying again when Iwe are Gainesville.

Greg’s place is a fantastic value if you’re attending a Gator game! The location makes the drive to the stadium on game easy- we didn’t encounter much traffic and easily got a Lyft. Greg is an enthusiastic host excited to share his history and artwork on arrival. He brought us citrus from his grove and best of all, let us use his bikes to ride down to the lake.

We stayed four nights at Greg’s apartment. Beautiful paintings and family memorabilia graced the walls. The apartment was spotless and comfortable for the two of us. The kitchen was well-stocked, there were plenty of towels and blankets provided, and the bathroom was spacious and modern.The apartment is sixteen steps above the garage, where the bikes we used were stored. The apartment is a stone’s throw away from Newnan’s Lake and a short bike ride away from the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail. The area is a biking and birding paradise. After a hard freeze, the temperature was in the seventies, so February felt like Spring.Greg was a gracious host. He even surprised us with a bag of oranges and grapefruit from his trees. We highly recommend this place.
