"Cowboy's Cabana" - Detached Suite w/ Pool & Porch
This was a perfect spot for us! Zoe and Brad were very helpful. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for the little retreat! Much appreciated!

The cozy stay! With a pool
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

Chic 2/2 Haile Village Getaway
What a beautiful Airbnb experience! The host was extremely accommodating and gracious – especially considering my last-minute booking. The condo’s décor is modern, fresh and open with very comfortable beds. There are tv's in the living room and both bedrooms! The kitchen appliances, the washer and the dryer, are all new. Sitting on the balcony, I am in the treetops overlooking the 3-mile walking trail which lines the perimeter of the Haile golf course which even has a turtle pond and a butterfly garden. Turning my gaze in the other direction, I glimpse the Haile Village shops and a varied assortment of high-quality restaurants. All of this is within one block's walking distance. I wish my booking could have included a Saturday morning, when I understand that the village street is lined with bakers, vendors and crafters who participate in the weekly Saturday Haile Farmer’s Market. I will be back to this Airbnb – it is a treasure.

Historic Huff cottage-Pet Friendly
We enjoyed feeding the animals. We brought apples and carrots for them. The baby goats are adorable, and Highland cows and donkeys and ponies! We rented a slip for our bass boat at Sportsmans Cove nearby. The fishing was not very good maybe due to time of year, but we caught a few small bass. The hydrilla is thick throughout Orange Lake. The Airbnb had a comfortable bed. We requested an additional portable heater because the one heater wasn't enough for both rooms, and it was immediately provided. . The induction stove has only one burner, but there is also a crock pot and an air fryer and outdoor grill. As other reviews stated, the dogs do bark in the mornings at times, and roosters crow very early. We used ear plugs at night which helped us to sleep. Don't miss the huge old Live Oak in their front yard that's hundreds of years old!

Spacious 3bd/3br Retreat with Pool 5 Miles from UF
Tomy's house was a clean, comfortable, and spacious stay for our party of five who was in town for a family event. There was ample room for all of us to both sit together as well as to have privacy as needed. Nice pool area as well. Met Tomy briefly who was friendly and unobtrusive so never really felt he was nearby despite sharing the home with him. As a newer host we believe he is still 'dialing in' the overall experience [one sink didn't drain well, etc.] but these are minor details that I am sure Tomy can easily address. I would have no qualms recommending Tomy's comfortable home to anyone visiting Gainesville. He made the checkout very easy as well! We appreciate you sharing your home with us for three days!

Pet-friendly cabin rentals

Hidden Cabin - Adventure Awaits!
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!!

Carlies Cabin nestled in the pines and oaks.
I needed to get away for some rest and relaxation and the griffin ranch exceeded my expectations. The cabin was perfect and my dogs and I enjoyed an amazing weekend. Carl and Terry were so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The entire stay was perfect. I can’t wait to go back again!

Serenity Farmhouse near the Springs
We absolutely loved this place!! There was entertainment for all ages and so close to many many springs! It was perfect and we plan to come back next year!

Charming Lakefront Log Home
This was the perfect getaway for a long weekend. The cabin was cozy and welcoming and had everything you could need amenity wise. We loved fishing off the covered dock and cruising the lake in the kayaks. Would recommend for friends or family vacation and will keep on the list for a return visit!

Cabin 3 Bowman's on Santa Fe River near Springs
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. ❤️

Pet-friendly house rentals

Springs House- River, Springs, SCUBA + Downtown!
The location is perfect for who is visiting the Springs nearby, it’s close to downtown, markets and restaurants. The location is quiet, and the house has everything you need, really clean. Hosts are amazing, and they offer early check-in if you need to get there earlier! I definitely recommend.

Downtown home w/ large yard by UF
Great place to lay your head if you’re in need of an AirBNB in Gainesville!

Springs Cottage- Historic/Pets
Shawn's place was wonderful! We felt right at home and all slept so GREAT! We will definitely be back. Absolutely loved it there! Everything was exactly like the pictures showed. Overall AMAZING!!!

Casa Springs / Home in High Springs
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.

Family Treehouse on The Santa Fe River
Another way of giving directions for finding the home for the first time: When you turn left as soon as you come through the gate, keep going on that road until you see a street sign that says Riverside Circle. Make a left and then it’s the first house on your right. I've stayed in a good number of Airbnb's & this one is the best one I've been to. The house is simply beautiful & the decorations are tasteful. The privacy is divine. The grounds large. Good outdoor chairs, including for a couple of kids. Shade on the dock in the afternoon. Lake can be a brown tea like color (from tannins) & murky. Stairs might make your calves scream. We lowered our bags down with a rope. Great to have outdoor sink on balcony. Great to have screened in eating spot. Beds & furniture better than average rental. Host is a super host for a reason.

Netflix Tiny Victorian | 2BR 1BA Loft | 4min to UF
Danny did a great job hosting this Airbnb! I needed to check in a bit early for a business trip, and he was very accommodating and quick to help resolve the issue. I definitely recommend staying here!

Lake house - Kayaks and Fishing Poles
We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront Airbnb! The house itself is absolutely lovely—tastefully decorated, cozy, and incredibly welcoming. It immediately felt like a home away from home, which made our time in Florida all the more special. The hosts were fantastic—very responsive, kind, and genuinely friendly. They made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish, and their attention to detail really showed. This rental was the perfect spot for us while we wrapped up a few final things before our move from Ohio to Florida. Peaceful, comfortable, and well cared for—we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend!
