The house was very roomy and comfortable, it felt like home away from home. The hostess is over the top excellent and willing to accommodate your specific needs. She knew we had travelled such a long distance and let us have the house early to rest
The home was very clean with everything you might need. It is a wonderful place for children we had three 2,3 and 10 and they loved all the things to do. We had a blast with the zip line over the pool. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home and if we are back in the area we will definitely stay here again. The Miller / Neeley Family
We truly enjoyed our stay. So close to everything we wanted to do, Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail, Devils Millhopper Geological Park, Paynes Prairie, Cross Creek. Our place was very clean, lots of room for us to play games and socialize (there were 6 of us). Beds were comfortable but we missed having top sheets. Might be because we are all over 60! Definitely would stay here again if available.
Overall, very nice visit. The pool wasn’t working properly so we had to clean out a lot of leaves etc before swimming. That was of no fault to the owner. Parts break and things happen. Excellent communication. Home furnished and easily accommodated 9 people. We would stay again!
The host family was wonderful! They communicated well from day one prior to check in. My family had plenty of space to enjoy themselves! The screened in back patio was my grandmothers favorite spot all 3 days. The home is beautiful. We had children from age 3-18 and everyone was happy! Any questions we had were always responded to in a timely manner! We would definitely book again.
The place was big enough for all of us and very clean. My only issue was the area in the back yard was a little dangerous. The deck had loose boards and was not secure. I was with teens, and older youth so it was ok, but I could see a young child tripping easily. The owner was very responsive and we were able to have a nice stay. The neighborhood is nice and I felt safe in a big city area.
