Perfect Stay for a UF Weekend Visit

I had a lovely stay while visiting my daughter at UF for the weekend. The host was fantastic—great communication and very accommodating. The house itself was adorable, clean, and cozy. Its location was perfect, just 10-15 minutes to everything we needed, including the UF campus. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Gainesville!

Place looked to be recently renovated, very clean and comfortable in a quiet little neighborhood. This was our first time staying in someone's home, we have always rented hotel rooms so didnt know quite what to expect. We were very satisfied with everything, check-in was super easy, plenty of amenities and the mini golf course was a nice twist.

Worked out great for us and our fur babies

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights along with our dogs. The house was perfect for us, nice quiet neighborhood, very relaxing after long stressful days at Shands, away from mainstream but still very conveniently located to everything. Looks just like pictures, very clean, very comfortable beds. Great fenced in yard for our dogs. Hosts were very accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend!!

Jungle house and alien mini golf!!

My husband and I were looking for a place to stay near UF for my orientation weekend. I stumbled upon this “jungle house” and the mini golf is what immediately caught my eye! Marlon made the check-in and check out process seamless, providing all the steps and information needed to enjoy our stay! The house is adorably decorated, was dog friendly for our black lab, and the mini golf in the backyard was awesome and such a cool setup! Thanks again for hosting us, we will definitely be back!

Great house/ Great value

We enjoyed are stay! The house is about 10-15 min away from UF campus. An easy drive to shopping, restaurants, and most importantly our Gator! We all really appreciated the very comfortable mattresses and ceiling fans…but our favorite features were the huge fenced in backyard and fire pit. The location was peaceful and relaxing. Definitely a “do again.”

A Gainesville Gem

The house is cozy, clean, and stylish, with thoughtful touches like games and snacks.The backyard was definitely the highlight, featuring mini-golf, a fire pit, cornhole, and plenty of well-maintained space to relax.It’s on a quiet street that's conveniently close to UF, downtown, and everything we needed.Marlon was super responsive and accommodating too, though everything was already thoughtfully prepared—we checked into a warm space that stayed cozy during one of the coldest weekends here!Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again.

Super Cute place

This place was perfect, Looks just like the pictures. Very quiet location. Sitting in the backyard was so peaceful. Would definitely book again if in the area for sure! I had orientation for a new job in the area and decided to make a fun trip out of it. We brought our mountain bikes and were very close to riding trails. Close to many eating places. Recommend eating at Harry's Seafood and Mojo Hogtown BBQ. About 5 minutes away.
