*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."

The listing is for 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! (extra cleaning fee of $45) not included within cleaning fee if you'd like to bring your pet.

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!

Perfect hotel alternative
Very comfortable. Great to have so much room instead of a hotel. Nice touches with coffee, creamer etc. Even popcorn! Nice beds and linens. Close to Archer and UF campus. Very convenient. Host was very easy to reach and accomodated a late checkout too!

Auburn vs UF Game
We drove up from Tampa to watch the Auburn vs UF game with our 2 children. Kate was an excellent host! She provided all the necessary check-in information and asked if we had any additional questions. Her communication was superb, Kate continued to check-in and asked if we needed anything. The home was very cozy, clean and had everything you and your family might need. Location to campus and Archer Rd was very convenient. Overall, it served as a great spot to attend a sporting event. Thanks, Kate!

Extremely nice Duplex!
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.
