As a University of Florida Alumni (Go Gators!), who was born and raised in Miami, the UF vs UM game is a rivalry game I couldn't miss. I researched Vrbo & found this property near the stadium. I reserved a year in advance in order to ensure my friends & I would have a place to stay. I was pleasantly surprised by how courteous & available the host was (Rebecca). We kept in touch throughout the process, which was very helpful. The property itself was perfect for our needs (7 adults over 40) & provided us with a uniquely Gainesville experience that allowed us to reminisce on our time at UF when we were younger. The pond & plants surrounding the property were gorgeous. The property itself was very clean & had all of the amenities we needed. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a courteous & communicative host, a beautiful home, gorgeous atmosphere, & close proximity to the heart of Gainesville. I look forward to visiting again soon!

My college roommates and I were in town for the SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships and we wanted a place close to the UF campus. Stonehouse is a 10-minute walk! The house was clean, well-appointed, had amazing views of a wonderful pond with a fountain and lots of turtles. Off a cul-de-sac, the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We had everything we needed. WiFi, TV, large kitchen, laundry facilities , this place had it all. The bathrooms were full of old Florida charm compete with exquisite tile molding reminiscent of the 60’s. Showers had plenty of pressure and lots of hot water. And all three beds (in spacious bedrooms) were soooo comfortable! The decor was fanciful paying homage to UF and to the state. Grocery stores, coffee houses all close by … very convenient. We only had to reach out to the owner once - we were a bit technically challenge on how to work the Nest AC thermostat … but the owner answered our inquiry in under five minutes and we were good to go!

This is an older property, but utterly charming and overlooking a pond with a great egret, and we even saw a baby alligator sharing the sun with three big turtles, all under majestic sprawling live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. The home is really beautifully equipped, with everything one could want for a stay of almost any length. The owner is exceptionally responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this old stone cottage!

Very nice location and the home is in the heart of UF I would definitely stay at the property again. Very responsive to requests and questions leading into the stay. 3 bedrooms which made it convenient for our group. The property is a charming cottage type style in a great location. What more can you ask for.
