Your own private hideaway, one mile from UF and Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, at a price that makes sense. A cozy detached cottage, a private mother-in-law suite with its own entrance, a private fenced backyard, and a comfortable king bed, made for game days, campus visits, work trips, and longer stays.

Welcome to a home with personality
We designed every room ourselves, and none of it is cookie-cutter. You'll find vintage finds, custom boutique pieces, and classic wood and textures, all chosen to work together and be kind to the planet. Comfort came first, from the beds to the coziest corners. This is not a gray-and-white hotel. Think of it as staying at your cool neighbor's house, the one with great taste who always leaves the porch light on.

Total privacy
• The entire detached cottage and private fenced backyard are yours alone, with no shared spaces
• Private entrance and self check-in, so you come and go on your own schedule
• A private fenced backyard with a bistro table and chairs, perfect for morning coffee, a quiet evening, or letting your pup stretch their legs

Close to everything
• About 1 mile to the University of Florida and Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
• Quick access to downtown Gainesville's restaurants and shops
• Game days bring heavy traffic, so leave a little extra time

Meet your hosts
We're a husband-and-wife team with two young kids, and we run this home ourselves. You'll get our cell numbers when you book, so a real person is always a call or text away. We also love sharing local recommendations, from our favorite food spots to hidden gems.

More than Airbnb hosts
We're also the founders of Heartful Voyage, a nonprofit that gifts free stays to medical families in crisis. After 333 days in the hospital with our own baby, we know how much a comfortable place to land matters, and we started this to give back to the medical parent community. Our homes do double duty: you can book them on Airbnb, and we also give them free of charge to families facing medical emergencies. Every booking helps keep those free stays possible.

Stay here, help a neighbor
Your booking helps local Gainesville families with medical babies stay for free while their little ones are in the hospital. It's a comfortable, affordable stay for you, and a real difference for a family close to home.

The studio and its private fenced patio are yours. Private entrance, self check-in, and free driveway parking.

Fast Wi-Fi • Pet friendly (with approval) • Kids welcome • Book up to 2 years ahead or last minute

Part of our Gainesville Game Day Split Squad: 3 homes within about a mile of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium that can be booked together.

Vacation with heart ♥ We're a small, family-run company, and we donate profits to support families going through long hospital stays through our nonprofit, The Heartful Voyage, which has been featured in People magazine and the Gainesville Sun.
