Take some time out from concrete-filled cities at Santa Fe Lake. This is an ideal place to get some fresh air, relax and simply appreciate the views.

If you're traveling on a shoestring, you'll be happy to learn that this body of water doesn't have an admission fee. Want to know what else there is to see in or around Alachua County? Pay a visit to Greathouse Butterfly Farm. It's close to Santa Fe Lake and is also a traveler favorite.

Everything was great other than the pool closing at 8 pm. The lighting in the room was a bit dim and the magnifying lit mirror in bathroom was not usable. It was activated by motion, but the sensor does not face you. Other than that, it was really good
