Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Alachua County

This was a nice place to stay. Very clean and spacious. Easy access to Gainesville if needed.

Great as always. We've stayed at Dave's place multiple times. I don't think we could stay anywhere else for our trip to Gainesville. He's the best.

Absolutely loved our stay! The house was filled with beautiful sunlight in the morning, making it such a peaceful and cozy start to each day. The view of the horse ranch was stunning and added a serene, country charm to the experience. We were also surprised that the drive to UF campus was super convenient without being right in the middle of the hustle. Added bonus the closets were huge, which made unpacking and staying organized a breeze. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

What a beautiful home, from the moment we walked in, it was so comfy and homey. The home was just as described and most importantly it was very clean! The surroundings were so peaceful and green. The hosts were amazing, really went over and beyond to make us feel at home. They thought of everything by providing toiletries in case we forgot something and some welcome treats as well which was a very special surprise. We were in town for graduation but we will definitely be back just to relax and enjoy the tranquility this home offers.

This Airbnb was awesome, the house was very old and had a great energy to it. My minor critiques are in the layout, there’s one room that can only be accessed by going through other rooms and the bedroom/bathroom doors don’t lock, besides that everything was incredible.

Stayed for 5 nights, and it was lovely. The house is very clean and comfortable. Super easy to find the house and check in. Loved having the 2 living rooms. The outdoor space was fantastic. Perfect place to have a cookout and relax. All the furnishings were very comfy and the kitchen was probably the best stocked of any Airbnb we’ve stayed in. The hosts were friendly and responsive. We didn’t have any issues during our stay, and I would definitely recommend this house to anyone staying in the area. Look forward to coming back next year.

My family and I definitely enjoyed the space. It's so cute and quaint. The neighborhood that it's in is nice and quiet too. When we arrived, we had no issues with getting in according to the instructions the host gave me (since it was booked under my name). In addition, I love the decorations in the house. I also like how each room had complimentary shampoo, conditioner, slippers to wear on your feet (I'm thinking because each room had carpet in them), etc. It was very clean when we arrived, and had a great homey feel to it. This was our first AirBnB in Gainesville, and I'm glad we picked this one. Go Gators!

A great stay! The home was super cute and comfortable, I loved the outside area by the main entrance and the backyard was great. It was exactly as described. Easy check in and easy checkout. The kitchen was really impressive with the amount of supplies, such as an air fryer, pans, pots, the whole nine yards! I stayed for work and I would definitely reserve again when I come back to the area!

Our stay with Cathy and Dale Lakefront Retreat was nothing short of amazing. They were warm, generous, and super helpful from start to finish. The property is incredibly tranquil with plenty of privacy and nature all around—perfect for outdoor lovers. Birdsong greeted us each morning and evening, so bring binoculars if you’re into birding! Plant lovers, get ready to be wowed by Cathy’s stunning tropical collection. Local gems like The Grove Shack and Italian Betty’s hit the spot, and the BBQ truck on the corner was a delicious surprise. If you’re looking to unwind, reset, and escape the rat race, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Positive Review We stayed in the Hodge’s Suite for a month, and it was a great experience. Cindy, who takes care of the guests, was amazing with us — always willing to help. The room is beautiful, with a good bed and shower, and a well-equipped kitchen. Everything was clean when we arrived, and the area around the house is very nice. It’s super close to Depot Park, the clock square, and the library! We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the experience. The only downside is the acoustics: unfortunately, if the guest upstairs walked heavily, we could hear it downstairs. But it’s definitely not something that would make me take points off the room. Highly recommend!

Great location in Haille Village near restaurants. Apartment was very clean and well stocked. Larina was very responsive and accommodating!
