*Here are few kind words from past guests*
"Wonderful stay here! Briefly visited Gainesville to visit family, and couldn’t have asked for an easier cuter stay. Much appreciated the responsive host, and well decorated space."
"Kate’s place is GORGEOUS! So clean, so many small touches and conveniences. It was a lovely place to stay in Gainesville, and I would definitely stay at one of Kate’s places again."
"An absolute gem of a location! Kate was very responsive and helpful. The place was perfect for our game day weekend and is beautifully decorated. We couldn’t have asked for anything better, especially on such short notice on our end. We will be recommending this location to our friends and will definitely be staying here again. Kate crushed it. Thank you for such a wonderful stay."
"Kate’s place is always so lovely, clean and inviting to stay at. We love the convenience to downtown and are so appreciative that we are able to bring our large pup with us when we visit Gainesville. I love recommending her place to anyone that’s planning a Gainesville trip."

Guest access
The entire home (no shared spaces), 2 parking spaces (plus open street parking if needed) and a fenced in backyard
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!

Kate was wonderful to work with. Very responsive in our communications. There were many special touches and it was very homey.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
The space was beautiful and exactly what my friends and I needed while we were in town for a wedding. It was cozy inside and outside, it being the perfect weather for the warmth of fire outside. I felt like everything we needed while away could be found here and the stay was stylish as well!
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Lovely accommodations and more than enough room for 4 people to enjoy the space.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2023
This place was great! The main complaint is that it was duplex and we searched for single family homes so that was disappointing since we were traveling with dogs and were trying to avoid this kind of place. The duplex was remodeled well and the location was close to everything.
