About this house rental
Step into a piece of history and forget your worries in this charming 1929
farmhouse, nestled on 2.75 acres of serene Florida countryside. Surrounded by
towering live oaks draped in Spanish moss, this spacious 2,700-square-foot
retreat offers a peaceful escape while keeping you conveniently close to
Gainesville’s top attractions.
With five inviting bedrooms and an upstairs loft, there’s plenty of room for
family and friends to unwind. The cozy living and dining areas provide the
perfect setting for gathering, whether you're sharing a meal or relaxing after
a day of exploring.
Newly added for your enjoyment, a private two-person hot tub sits just off the
back porch — the perfect spot to soak under the stars after a Gator game or a
long day outdoors. Tucked behind the home for added privacy, it offers a
peaceful, intimate space to relax while taking in the quiet beauty of the
surrounding countryside.
Located just 10.5 miles from the UF Stadium and O’Connell Center, you can
reach campus in as little as 15 minutes when there’s no event traffic.
Gainesville Airport is just a short 15-25 minute drive away, and downtown
Gainesville is within 10-20 minutes for great dining, shopping, and
entertainment. Plus, with nearby parks and direct access to the local bike
trail, outdoor adventures are right at your doorstep.
Whether you're visiting for a game weekend, a peaceful getaway, or a gathering
with loved ones, this historic farmhouse offers a unique blend of rustic charm
and modern convenience. Book your stay and experience the beauty and
tranquility of old Florida!
