We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a Floridian road trip. Greg is an amazing host, his communication was 1st class from the moment we booked until we departed. The property is wonderful, full of character and we enjoyed learning about the history of the property and the artefacts within. We were here to enjoy the local wildlife, of which there is plenty, including many bird species in the garden. We would highly recommend a stay here.
This property was everything it was advertised to be. Very quiet and secluded. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the apartment was extremely clean. We especially enjoyed the beautiful bathroom and the interesting artwork and history. Thank you, Gregg for a wonderful stay.

The host was very nice and detail oriented and knowledgeable.
We had a delightful stay here. The accomodations are comfortable and had everything we needed. The highlight of our stay was watching the wild turkeys and enjoying fresh fruit grown on the property. The quiet was amazing.
Quiet, near a lake and away from neighbors.
Lots of birds and surrounded by nature!
The house has lots of beautiful art to inspire.
Our host even picked some fruit for us to enjoy.
Greg is a 5 star host! He greeted me upon arrival and walked the property and apartment with me. He also had local places to visit(similar to hotel stays). Greg's hospitality beats most large hotel concierge service. The apartment is truly amazing, beautiful, and clean. The surrounding areas are a true nature lovers dream!
We enjoyed our stay in the area. Easy to get to the Micanopy and Williston area where we wanted to visit. Clean and peaceful property. Lots of art and history memorabilia. Gracious host of the property. Nice place to stay if you visit the area.
Top shelf! Incredibly quiet. Except for the birds which are wonderful.
Furnishings are beautiful with lots of personal touches and history.
Convenient to Gainesville.
Staying at Greg’s place was a perfect place to crash after a couple of 9 hour class days. Quiet and private

Greg was a great host. Kichen faucet waiting to be repaired was the only knock against it. Very quiet charming place.

I stayed here while I was finishing up a big creative project and needed a private get-away, and it was perfect for my needs. It was clean, quiet, and more than comfortable. The grounds are full of gardenias, palms, citrus, and banana plants, and there is a porch to sit and relax on. Just down the road is a little park on the lake. I hope to stay again the next time I need some creative space.
Beautiful apartment with a comfortable bed and everything you need for short or longer stays. Opened the windows to listen to a symphony of birds in the morning. Greg is a knowledgeable and accommodating host. I'll be back!
Nice, quiet neighborhood which is great for nature lovers. The unit is just as described. It’s spacious and has a lot of historical decor. Greg was prompt at answering any questions and helping in any way.
Greg was the nicest host! He was extremely helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay! We had such a relaxing experience whether it was sitting on the porch or by the coi pond listening to birds to using the rental bikes for a sunset/day ride.
