Quiet, quaint, nice amenities, staff is professional and friendly. This is a hidden gem. We stayed at Nora Belle’s Cottage. Absolutely beautiful! Large wrap around front porch, two parking spots in front of cottage. Spacious, cozy living room, two huge bedrooms, two and half bathrooms, large kitchen, dining room seats 6 and the pool is basically right outside the back patio of this cottage. Perfect for a family. The grounds are lovely and I found calming. Tasty breakfast. This is a must stay in Gainesville. Just love the history of this property.

Staff were just super and very accommodating after we arrived following a serious car crash right outside the property just as we arrived. We were rere ended and the car pretty well written off. Though shaken fortunately we were totally uninjured. We were kindly given a late check out until 1.30 PM the next day when our friend from St. Petersburg picked us up. By the way - breakfast was very good too with gluten free bread available for my wife as requested.

This was our second stay at Sweetwater Branch. Beautiful grounds. Reserved parking spaces. The Julia room was perfect. Large bathroom, sitting area, king sized bed. Breakfast was great with several hot choices (my favorite is the frittata), fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, coffee and juices. Always nice to sit on the veranda. Close to many restaurants. Our favorite, Harry's is just a short drive away. Don't get me started on their crawfish etouffee. YUM!

An amazing collection of historic buildings. We stayed in Lilly’s Cottage and everything was so cozy. Comfortable King-sized bed in separate bedroom, plenty of blankets and pillows. Pull-out sofa in living room had inflatable mattress on top of sofa-bed one for extra comfort. Full kitchen facilities we didn’t have time to use. Breakfast in the main house was a treat—home cooked and many options. Beautiful B&B compound!

Kari

A great property, full of character and well maintained. The staff were super helpful and attentive. The homemade breakfast was a lovely touch. We had the heated saltwater pool to ourselves whenever we used it. Borrowed the free bikes to explore the neighbourhood, a nice perk. The downtown area full of restaurants and bars is just a 10 minute walk away.
