What a beautiful location central for UF and Gainesville activities. They made you feel welcome from the moment you drives. The cottages were super cute with great history. I enjoyed my little reading book in Lester’s Place and walking the grounds. And the breakfast was so good. You felt welcome, you felt home and you wanted to come back from the moment you left.

I love Sweetwater Branch Inn... it is perfect bed and breakfast getaway. My favorite room is the Tea Rose room... because of the huge jacuzzi bathtub & the fireplace.

The Sweetwater Inn exceeded our expectations! The grounds are impeccably maintained and create a private sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and the UF campus. No details were spared at the Inn. Our room was quiet and cozy! From the staff, the pool, the football game shuttle, the complimentary breakfast and guest rooms - all was perfectly presented. We can't wait to return for another visit, go Gators! 🐊

I was amazed at the uniqueness, originality along with all the beautiful plants, trees and gardens there! Each room is unique in it’s theme, design and it’s pioneer spirit! The artwork and design of the whole park, which it really is, was like being in another world. Whenever I need a getaway place in Gainesville, I will return there. The breakfast had the best variety I’ve seen outside of a banquet hall! A wedding took place there in a large, open area. There’s even a Honeymoon suite in that courtyard! It must have been designed by amazingly talented artists, creative designers and architect professionals, along with those who knew the history of this area of Florida. I sat on the front porch in the evening awhile to relax and play my ocarina, a small clay flute which makes me happy and content. I don’t know of other hotels with porches, and lots of homes had them in neighborhoods I grew up in - in various states. It reminds me of decades past when older folks sat in their rocking chairs after dinner to watch their neighbors walk by and chatted with them. I miss those days, and truly appreciate all the effort and planning that went into each unique room and building in this amazing mini-town 4 blocks wide by 4 blocks square!
