Stay for UF vs. UM Game

Had a great time with friends. Although the house is about 30 minutes from the stadium it was super convenient as there was no game day traffic coming in from the east. The house was big, comfortable, clean, well-furnished and right on the lake with beautiful views. I will definitely look into staying here again on game weeks.

This place and the surrounding area is lovely. We stayed for UF family weekend and the home had plenty of space for a multi-generational family weekend. The hosts were wonderful. Communication at first was a bit delayed, but improved and good as our visit approached. The host was very gracious to allow us to check-in early, which was much appreciated. The house didn’t have toilet paper(perhaps an oversight from cleaning), otherwise all was good with the home. Mosquitoes were out in force, so depending on the time of year, bring bug spray! The outside screened patio provided a nice space to enjoy the outdoors, minus the bugs. This is a place we will definitely look to return to w/ our family and friends in the future! :)
