Summary: The house is beautiful, spacious and had all the amenities that you need. Even on the rainy day, we had the opportunity to play pool on the lower level, darts on the main floor and cards on the 2nd floor. It has a wonderful kitchen that was well stocked with everything you needed to cook a wonderful meal. There are 3 decks that were wonderful for enjoying the beautiful evenings. It was a quite refuge for our family and we had a wonderful long weekend. The location is excellent where you have seclusion but are less than 10 minutes away for the Kroger and Publix and several restaurants. Getting to downtown Gainsville to enjoy the great restaurants and coffee shops on the square was quick and easy. Tera was an exceptional host checking on us to make sure we were OK after the storm in the area. This listing is one of the most accurate of any property that I have rented and I would highly recommend this property for a large group gathering. Thank you Tera and Jason!!
