*Some kind words from past guests*
"Amazing host! Beautiful home. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed."
"This was the perfect home away from home. Our son had a surgery at Shands, which was a worry on our minds. And then having to be away from home afterwards, but Kate’s place was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. Conveniently located near anything we may have wanted or needed. It was clean and decorated perfectly. The beds were comfy. It was a private, perfect oasis. The back yard was so cozy. Loved the fire pit and cute swings and chairs. We can’t say enough great things. And Kate was so responsive to anything we needed. Great experience!"
"Thank you so much for hosting us in your beautiful home! It was truly one of the best bnb experiences I have had! The space was even more gorgeous in person than in photos- it was extremely clean, private, and included so many wonderful extra amenities. You can really tell that Kate pays extra attention to detail and really cares about the comfort of her guests!! The beds were cozy and the backyard was perfect as well :)"
"Loved Kate's place. Is even better in person than the photos, which is saying a lot because the photos are great. My kids asked if we can please stay here every time we visit Gainesville in the future. Comfortable couches and beds, well-designed rooms, excellent lighting, and pristine. By far one of our favorite bnbs yet."

It is an entire end-unit townhome (no shared spaces) with a fully-fenced private backyard.
There are two parking spaces for the home right in front as well as open street parking. The home is also PET-FRIENDLY!
My goal is for you to know exactly the home you're booking so it meets and exceeds your expectations so you may have an excellent getaway! As you enter the street you will see some of the initial homes are rentals and not as nicely kept, while the rear/remainder of the street are all family homes. It is a wonderfully centrally located, safe, and quiet neighborhood. Gainesville is an eclectic mixing bowl of renters, students and families alike! I have been happily hosting (now thousands of guests) here for over 8 years and I lived here myself for 4! I am happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to hosting you!
