The Tree House - Nicely Furnished Urban Oasis
We enjoyed our stay at the tree house. Hendrick and Cathrin kept in touch before, during, and after our stay. They responded quickly with any concerns I had. Great location to UF, restaurants, shopping , and grocery stores. Quiet neighborhood . They also offered us a bottle of wine. I would recommend the tree house !

The Lotus Suite. Newly Built, Upscale, Central
Many thanks to our hosts for being very accommodative to accept our stay request at the very last minute after we had just completed our 300-mile drive from Georgia! The location of the property was easily identified; and right upon entry, we found the place to be super appropriate and very cosy for the six of us! Every single detail was well designed, planned and thoroughly executed! There were three very decently-sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms for our convenience! John even popped over shortly after our arrival to check on some lightbulbs after we notified the host that there were some which did not work! Kudos for such a high level of professionalism! The unit we stayed at was located on the top floor, where there were balconies situated both at the front and at the rear catering to small hangouts during pleasant mornings and evenings!

Northwood Estate, 15min from UF
This is an awesome place. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, beautiful home. It looks simple from outside but is spacious and well-furnished inside. Big backyard, outdoor sitting area, fully stocked inside, plenty of bedding. If we ever go back to this city, we will definitely use Paige's airbnb again.

Lake Front, Hot Tub, Kayaks, Fire Pit, Paddleboard
If we could give more than 5 stars we would!!! Our sweet rescue, Waylon, gave it 5 paws also! The house was even better than described and the location is perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle! Greg and Megan were perfect hosts, very responsive and helpful. For peace and serenity to enjoy God’s creation, this is the place!

The Floridian. Newly Built Dreamhome, Central
Pristine and perfect home for family gathering! No detail is left untouched. Host is very warm and extremely responsive. We made a few requests and he accommodated all (and even left a warm note and congratulations flower arrangement for my graduating daughter!). I would very highly recommend!

Remodeled 2 bedroom/1 bath HOUSE close to downtown
This is my third time staying at Ryan’s and love his place, it’s clean and cozy a home away from home . Also a peaceful location which is walking distance to downtown and less than ten minute walk to my daughters school which is very convenient. If I come to Gainsville again before she graduates I hope this location is available I really love this place and Ryan is very accommodating and easy to communicate with .🌻

Little Love Shack
Katie was a great host! She was supper responsive to any questions! The home was so cute and perfect for what we needed! Great size and comfortable outdoor space!

Peaceful, modern, renovated, close to everything!
Kate’s condo is very lovely—sparklingly clean and beautifully decorated! The layout with the two en suites on either end is perfect for two couples staying together. Very reasonably priced and reflective of the neighborhood.

5-star Luxury Apartment - Atop the Seagle Building
We loved this place! It was very loud at night (all night), but that might just be a Gainesville thing. Overall, the place is clean and beautiful. the bed is also bery comfortable. Came to see our daughter and will for sure stay there again.

Chic 2/2 Haile Village Getaway
What a beautiful Airbnb experience! The host was extremely accommodating and gracious – especially considering my last-minute booking. The condo’s décor is modern, fresh and open with very comfortable beds. There are tv's in the living room and both bedrooms! The kitchen appliances, the washer and the dryer, are all new. Sitting on the balcony, I am in the treetops overlooking the 3-mile walking trail which lines the perimeter of the Haile golf course which even has a turtle pond and a butterfly garden. Turning my gaze in the other direction, I glimpse the Haile Village shops and a varied assortment of high-quality restaurants. All of this is within one block's walking distance. I wish my booking could have included a Saturday morning, when I understand that the village street is lined with bakers, vendors and crafters who participate in the weekly Saturday Haile Farmer’s Market. I will be back to this Airbnb – it is a treasure.
