The home was rented for 3 months and it was definitely a home away from home. The setting is very peaceful and relaxing. We looked forward to seeing horses and of course champ ( the farm dog) daily. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly. We felt very welcomed and never had a worry about anything during our stay. An approximate drive of 30 minutes to Gainesville for work, and back to the peaceful country setting after. Many attractions near by to see and visit. We had a very enjoyable visit and hope to return annually. Highly recommend this property. As a long time VRBO renter, the best hosts we have ever had! Thank you for all the hospitality! ##### Amy S.

The minute we pulled in we were amazed at how green and beautiful everything was. We spent a lot of time outside just enjoying the scenery and petting the horses. The house was just as described, very comfortable and so were the beds. The owners, Robin and Billy were so nice. We were there for New Years Eve and they invited us over for a get together.

I truly can’t say enough good things about this place. My family LOVED it. The house is super clean, well updated, comfy beds with such soft sheets that I actually checked the brand so I could buy some. The location is stunning. You are really in the center of gorgeous farm country and the horses come up to the fence to greet you as soon as you wake up or come home. They are so friendly and there is even a cute foal. The local river and springs were gorgeous, refreshing and entertaining. It was a perfect getaway for my family who loves on the FL coast. It was like we went to a different state. The owner was super accommodating and easy to work with. We had no issues what so ever and she went above and beyond to make our stay convenient for us. Thank you so much for hosting us. ##### Meghan P. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul C. May 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Would return to the Alachua farmhouse without hesitation Property is clean and is as pictured. Hostess was excellent. The location is remote, as much as a half mile down a gravel road, then15 minutes or more to restaurants, gasoline, groceries, etc. Easy access to UF, either Interstate or secondary roads. We enjoyed the firepit, the horses, Champ the dog, and the sunsets. I was concerned that it may be a UF Football party house with the ping pong table and the air hockey table, but it shows no signs of being a party house. The bridal suite is a converted garage, nicely done, needs a bit more furniture and hangers/hooks for clothing, but can serve well as a separate BnB efficiency as is (which I'm guessing is the intent). I slept well on the trundle which has a foam mattress and was comfortable. The tap water is excellent, no sulphur, good for drinking and bathing. After a few nights here I began to understand the appeal of living in this part of Florida! ##### Paul C. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan S. Mar 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay in the country Our favorite part of this trip was having the horses right outside our door. They are all really friendly but a few of them were particularly interested in us. Make sure to bring plenty of apples and carrots and they will be your best friends. We rab out by the second day and there aren't many stores around to buy more. Even without food, several of them came up to us any time we went to the fence and even followed our kids as they walked along the fence. We loved being surrounded by pasture, hearing the cows across the street and a rooster in the distance. The ride in was a beautiful mix of pasture and forest. Nearby there are several springs to visit. We went to Ginnie Springs, which was huge but kind of pricey ($50). We weren't disappointed though because it was so beautiful and had lots to do. There's a cute, little downtown area on the way to Ginnie Springs, which had it not been for COVID we definitely would have enjoyed. We also visited nearby San Felasco Hammock Preserve. It had a little picnic spot and great hiking. There are actually hills there, which we're not used to in Central Florida. The house was cute and well maintained. The owners are right next door and very responsive to any issues that arise. We even got to see them training the horses one evening. Overall, it was a fun, relaxing trip. Thank you for your hospitality! ##### Megan S. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariana D.

As a family of five visiting the springs, we truly appreciated the space. It was wonderful to have room to relax, enjoy friendly games of ping pong and air hockey, and simply unwind on the porch swing with ice cream and the kids. A delightful bonus was being greeted by horses and cows just outside the fence each morning. Communication with the host was excellent and easy. We wholeheartedly recommend this charming home! ##### Mariana D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane P.

There is a couple of things that need attention in bathroom in hallway. Tub in bath was not the cleanest and toilet needs some work, nothing we couldn't live with just thought I would mention it. also new construction was being done that done away with garage on end of house ,a fact we did not find out until we arrived in Fla ,(glad it did not rain) ##### Jane P.

We traveled to FL for a family reunion which entailed numerous roundtrips from Orlando back to Gainesville, so having a peaceful home base was a huge gift!! Robin was quick to respond to questions both beforehand and during our stay, and we felt very welcomed. Their home is just as described – warm, well-equipped and plenty spacious for a family. We loved having access to the washer & dryer, and although we didn’t get a chance to use them, we hope to take advantage of the ping-pong table and air hockey tables during a future visit. My niece & I were overjoyed to get a chance to pet and feed carrots to their beautiful horses (especially “Little Joe”) – what a fun afternoon. Whenever we plan a trip to visit my husband’s side of the family, we will make sure to book way ahead so that we can call the Clark’s house our “home away from home!” ##### Julie & Todd S.

Patio with night lighting and working grill were a bonus. ##### Marie Y. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022
