Enjoyed hosting a large family weekend gathering a the house. The house was large and clean and the two separate living spaces worked out well. The kitchen in the main house was big and well-stocked. We loved the covered porch and comfy seating there. The pool itself is clean and large. There is only one ladder into the pool so it's not ADA or kid friendly. Overall, I recommend this for a large group getaway.

Great for large group in quiet location

Significant space!

In Gainesville for a thirty-five year reunion with fraternity brothers. Eight of us stayed at the property, and enjoyed separate bedrooms and six bathrooms. Love the layout. Property in a quiet neighborhood, and not too far from campus. Looking forward to future reunions and hope to be able to secure this place again.

Kayaking in the area

Our stay was awesome! We had plenty of rooms and showers! We kayaked all day and when we got home everyone could shower and get ready for the next day! There was plenty of parking for our 2 trailers and numerous vehicles. Most of our meals we did at the house. The last night we went to The Top restaurant. That restaurant and others were in walking distance. Great house and if we are in the area with a large group we would love to rent it again

Dad’s 93rd birthday

We celebrated my dad’s 93rd birthday at University House. The weather cooperated and we were able to be outside on the porches and in the pool enjoying the breezes. The home allowed us to gather friends and family with family members spending the night. We enjoyed our stay.

Large house for wedding weekend

This was a terrific property for our large family to use for a family wedding in Gainesville. There was ample room, even though we had all the bedrooms filled. The property itself was beautiful and within walking distance of a number of restaurants. It was too cold for the pool, but it would have been a very nice benefit!

University House

Classic house that is very clean and well maintained. It is actually two houses connected by a breezeway. Property manager was very communicative. There was an issue with the stove top and oven not working, but otherwise it was a relaxing, pleasant stay! Definitely recommend this property!

Wonderful Experience

The home was perfect for our ladies prayer retreat. There were 17 of us and we all fit comfortably. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen was great for cooking. We had a minor issue that needed to be addressed and Nick was quick to respond and send someone out to help. Our group is talking about staying there again. Thank you to our host for helping us have a beautiful weekend!
