Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Gainesville

What a wonderful stay! We were visiting Gainesville to celebrate my daughter’s graduation and it was the perfect place! The yard and bbq, cornhole, ping pong/pool table all allowed us to thoroughly enjoy ourselves. The home was clean and equipped with everything we needed. John’s electronic guidebook was helpful and he was very responsive to any questions we had. Would highly recommend Gator Grove Villa! Truly a 5 star stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great place to lay your head if you’re in need of an AirBNB in Gainesville!

Awesome place very large fully fenced in yard our Boston Terrier lived to wander around it. Nice yard with a fire pit and comfy outdoor furniture. Our stay there from Sunday to Sunday was great would go back there if we go to that area again.

For me the best airB&B. Place I’ve ever stayed 5stars great host Beautiful place Very cozy Love the decorations Plus, the loft was awesome Everything was fantastic Thank you again

Great location as far as being close to campus and downtown. We were in for our son’s graduation. This 4 bedroom home was perfect for our family! I would stay again if come back in town needing two or more bedrooms. The price was very competitive with the other options in the area.

5 stars overall. Comments include: Very clean and comfortable. Secluded/beautiful location with lots of trees/spanish moss, easily accessible, courteous/prompt communications and support from owner. Thank you very much!

We had a great stay here! The house was very clean and in a good location. We never felt unsafe. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was very clean. Also, because it’s Gainesville, everything is 10-15 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again on a future visit!

We were all blow away at how nice this home was. Everything was clearly marked. The path to the dock was easy to follow. My kids (22, 21, 14) all said they loved the unique experience of all the property offered. They said this makes them want to try another air bnb next time

Colleen was very attentive and accommodating! Also very kind and considerate, especially being she has other demanding responsibilities! I got to meet her puppy Brutis and he is very well trained and she was so helpful at alternating potty breaks and letting my special needs dog plenty of outside time alone 🥰

Beautiful location with easy access to the local springs and University of Florida

Our stay with Cathy and Dale Lakefront Retreat was nothing short of amazing. They were warm, generous, and super helpful from start to finish. The property is incredibly tranquil with plenty of privacy and nature all around—perfect for outdoor lovers. Birdsong greeted us each morning and evening, so bring binoculars if you’re into birding! Plant lovers, get ready to be wowed by Cathy’s stunning tropical collection. Local gems like The Grove Shack and Italian Betty’s hit the spot, and the BBQ truck on the corner was a delicious surprise. If you’re looking to unwind, reset, and escape the rat race, this is the place. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for a graduation ceremony . The place is centrally located , easy to find , tons of parking spots . Nice private backyard . We had some trouble trying to unlock the door but the host was quick to respond and assist . Would surely recommend this place to friends

Lesley was very accommodating, friendly and helpful if a need presented itself... made extra room for our Boat trailer and two cars and her husband Steve even found a Fuse for our boast when the Bilge Pump went out. The couple made an effort to make certain you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to coming back to say at the 2 bedroom cottage on the water in early Fall. Thanks, Jane

Excellent weekend get away for a couple to enjoy time alone. The set up is fantastic and everything you need is placed out for you to enjoy without having to leave for dinner. There is a beautiful walk way and fishing dock to enjoy as well. Grill set up and fire pits to enjoy with a special person. I highly recommend this Air B&B for any couple that wants to enjoy space and let their hair down for a while.

Nice clean cute space, convenient place to stay in Gainesville. Friendly, pleasant host.

The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We loved the location. The restaurants in the square were really good and there was live music on Saturday. Great experience for my family.

We really enjoyed our stay- the kids and teens loved the canoes and kayaks as well as the ping pong table. The dock was a great place to relax! The buildings have some wear as described by the host but we were impressed with the cleanliness and we didn’t see even one bug inside, which was greatly appreciated. We would stay again!

Jarred's home was exactly as pictured. The house is deceivingly spacious, with 3 bedrooms, each boasting large, comfortable beds. There is an obvious attention to detail around the "cabin in the mountains" decor, but with all the modern amenities you'd expect for comfort. The home was very clean, from kitchen to linens. The community is situated around a walkable circle. I say this because it was the perfect distance for my small dog to navigate. The host was always available and communicative. Would stay here again if in the area!!

Very nice people. The place is clean and quiet.

Always a pleasure staying at your property! The trampoline and other improvements were a really nice surprise! Your place is beautiful, just a gem! we always love staying there!

We loved our stay in cabin 3 at Bowmans for my birthday. We were looking to escape the city life with seclusion and peace near the river and we got just that! We will definitely be returning. The cabin was cute and the view was wonderful. ❤️

We were in Gainesville for our daughters UF graduation and rates are notoriously high in Gainesville for graduation weekend. We decided to look a little bit off the beaten path and also wanted a place that our other daughter and her husband could stay with us and have their own bedroom and bathroom. Liz’s lovely house perfectly fit the bill. Not only are the surroundings so peaceful that we just wanted to spend as much time as possible looking out at the water and trees, but the house was perfectly clean, much more modern than I anticipated, and was very comfortable for sleeping. We also loved watching Liz’s dogs play in their yard next door. The drive in to Gainesville was very easy. We would not hesitate to book Liz’s house again.

We went to snorkel at Devil's Den and stayed 2 nights at Karen's place. The cabin was beautiful and looked just like the photos. We met her goats snd chickens and horses and the property was stunning. Incredibly peaceful and felt far away from the world, yet only 10 minutes to Devil's Den. She left a great list of local restaurants and attractions. Was just lovley to drink coffee in the morning on the porch swings. We had delicious pizza at Archie's, but mostly just enjoyed the cabin and property. Highly recommend!

This house was tranquility at its best with a super responsive host. Our party of 5 throughly enjoyed our stay. We kayaked multiple springs in the area, so this house was a great home base. The amenities were well thought out and we truly had a great time.
