Quaint cottage

Booking this property in McIntosh was a great idea for the UM v. UF weekend. We were 20 minutes from the campus and it was very easy to find. The place was comfortable and clean and 5 minutes from the Payne Prairie Preserve State Park. We did not spend much time in the house but it was just right for what we needed.

The Charming Orange Cottage

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Orange Cottage. We will certainly will return. We enjoyed our days exploring the surrounding quaint little towns with their antique shops and stores by day. Then relaxed on the cottages porch at night listening to nature. The cottage was the perfect place for us to unwind. I can honestly say it was the most relaxing vacation ever.

Home Away from Home

Although our trip was short we felt very at home! The house and area were exceptional. We had everything we needed to get by. It was located close enough to Gainesville but secluded enough to feel like we were country living. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evening listening to the rain and all the critters. Check in/out was a breeze. The hosts Rusty and Alexandra were helpful when we locked the keys in the house. Rusty was there within 5 mins to let us in. There is not one thing I can complain about! Looking forward to staying there again in the future!!

Always Lovely

Love this cute old cottage that has been updated. The ambiance is so perfect, reminds me of my great-grandmothers home in the country. Quiet old Florida withth 100 year old churches, huge vintage oaks, and Sandhill Cranes roaming the yards. And of course the Orange tree in the front yard. Thank you for our 3rd stay and looking forward to the next.

Comfortable, well equipped home

This 2BR, 1B, home has plenty of lounging space and all the basic kitchen equipment. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. McIntosh is a very small town, with many beautiful live oaks along the streets. There is a decent grocery store just a couple of blocks away and it is only about a 20 min drive to Gainesville.

cute house in quiet town

This house was great for us [2 couples] spending a night. We could have stayed longer but our agenda didn't allow for that. There isn't much to McIntosh proper so I suggest doing your research so you are not surprised. Overall a very comfortable, relaxing stay.
