The Guest Lodge Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Great, cute place,nice pool,clean💞"

Comfort Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Great location and close to NEGA Medical and area restaurants and shopping. Really enjoyed being able to walk to Johnny's NYSP and Shane's Craft Burger for dinner. Then stroll over the pedestrian bridge to the downtown square. Breakfast consisted of self make waffles, eggs, sausage or bacon, cereals, yogurt, fruit, bagels and toast. Beds were good. Could focus on cleaning a little more."

Large House with Lake Views, pool table and Private Boat Dock

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our family reunion at this large lake house in Gainesville. The lake location is beautiful, and the boat dock was excellent and worked perfectly for the boats we rented. The property is lovely, and the deer around the house were an amazing bonus!That said, the house is showing its age and could use some updating. The walk to the lake is quite steep and can be challenging for elderly guests, especially since some steps aren’t perfectly aligned. Inside, there were maintenance issues, including a broken front door knob and a nonworking ice maker. The kitchen also wasn’t well equipped for a large group. With 19 people, there weren’t enough utensils and basic cooking supplies, and we had to purchase our own ice.The bedrooms provided adequate sleeping space, although the layout was a little quirky, with several bunk beds in the basement. This resulted in adults and teenagers sharing the same sleeping area.We also had family staying in the smaller yellow house up the road. It is quite dated, has limited air conditioning through window units, and is far enough from the main house that you’ll generally need to drive back and forth.Overall, we had a good family reunion and really enjoyed the lake, dock, landscaping, and wildlife. The property has a lot of potential and is a great setting for a large group. With some updating, better kitchen supplies, and attention to maintenance, this could be a really outstanding lake house."
