Good to know

Welcome to our stylish 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat in the heart of downtown Gainesville, designed with comfort and detail in every room. The master bedroom features a private en-suite with a tub and shower, ample closet space, and room-darkening curtains for restful sleep. The two additional bedrooms each offer a cozy queen bed, generous storage, and blackout curtains for privacy. A second full guest bathroom with tub/shower ensures everyone has space and convenience. The living room is the heart of the home — gather around the electric fireplace for cozy evenings in, stream your favorites on the Smart TV, or pull up to the expandable dining table that seats up to eight for shared meals. Outside is where this place really shines. Start your morning with coffee on the front porch, then fire up the propane grill under the back pergola for a proper cookout. As the evening winds down, pull up a chair around the propane firepit and get competitive with a round of giant Jenga or a football toss game — the kind of night that makes a trip memorable. Practical details handled too: fast WiFi throughout, and plenty of off-street parking so game day arrivals are stress-free. The kind of place that looks even better in person than in the photos.

Other Details to Note

We're in a quiet residential neighborhood, so we ask that guests be respectful of neighbors — especially in the evenings. Small gatherings are totally fine; we just ask that large parties be taken elsewhere. No smoking anywhere on the property. Plenty of off-street parking available — no need to worry about street parking on game days.

My family and I stayed for a weekend, and it was perfect. Comfortable beds, and every detail exactly as described in the listing. Will stay again if ever in the area. Book without hesitation! Kenney Family Cary NC

Jeff's place was exactly as described and met our needs perfectly. We were only in town for one night and unfortunately we got in late and had to leave early but both check in and check out were very easy, allowing us to focus on getting some much needed rest. The house was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. It is located on a quiet residential street with plenty of off street parking. I would absolutely stay here again on future trips to Gainesville!

This is such an adorable house! So well decorated. It was very comfortable and in a nice neighborhood. The location was great as it was close to everything that we needed. Jeff was very responsive, friendly and flexible. Would definitely stay here again.

We were a group of seven and everyone felt right at home. The decor was beautiful, artsy, exactly like the pictures. The beds were very comfortable and the heater worked very well and made us feel nice and warm on a couple of very cold nights. We will definitely stay in this very picturesque cottage again!
