Trenton, Florida
Charming barn-style cottage on a 20 acre family farm in north central Florida, just west of Gainesville.
The cottage is on our family farm and has a nice view of rolling pastures. It is a 1 bedroom/1 bath cottage that sleeps 6 -- 8. It has a queen size bed and a full size bed in the bedroom and a full-size sleeper sofa in the alcove. It has a fully equipped kitchen, a living room/dining room and 1 bathroom with a separate double sink area. There is a small storage loft in the bedroom. The cottage also has wireless internet, local t.v., a DVD player and DVDs, and a washer and dryer. It has a fenced yard with it's own entrance. Linens and cookware are provided.
We are located between Newberry, Fl and Trenton, Fl, 22 miles west of Gainesville, Fl. It is a quiet, convenient place to stay when visiting the University of Florida. We are only 5 miles west of the Easton Newberry Archery Center and Canterbury Equestrian Showplace. We are close to the Nature Coast State Trail (cycling, walking, horseback riding) and there are many springs in the area. We are 48 miles from Cedar Key, 53 miles from Ocala, 99 miles from St. Augustine/Crescent Beach, 128 miles from Disney World and 20 miles directly west of I-75.
The cottage is located on a farm. We have a small herd of miniature Zebu cattle and a flock of chickens (both hens and roosters). We also have a few farm cats. It is a great place to get away for some rest & relaxation and sit out and watch the stars at night!

Great location! All necessary paper products and towels & linens were provided for a comfortable stay. Our Labrador pup was right at home sleeping over night on the pet covered sofa in the alcove & running in the fenced in yard. The cattle and chickens were fun to watch as well as the awesome sunrises!
Clean, quiet & peaceful
Cottage was very clean. Location was perfect, quiet, and peaceful. Love the farm and the animals. Would come back again.
Stayed at this lovely cottage for two nights while visiting my son at UF. The location is secure and quiet, and an easy, pleasant drive from Gainesville. The cottage was clean and well appointed. We didn't cook, however, the kitchen was stocked with ample supplies. Overall, a wonderful experience!
After a week of touring round Georgia and Alabama it was good to have a rest at the barn. Although the property is 'rustic' it does have some lovely views and we did see a lot of different birds including woodpecker, cardinals, blue jay etc. We enjoyed visits to many of the state parks in the area and also visits to High Springs and Williston for some antique shopping. Newberry is a very pretty town too, just down the road. One tip, take a hairdryer if you need one as I couldn't find one at the property, glad I had my own with me.
Nice stay, nicely stocked kitchen, close to my sister in Gainesville. Only wish we we would have had more water pressure in the shower. Enjoyed visit from the 2 cats.
We stayed here in 2014 when taking our mother to visit the area where she was born (1926) and grew up. We returned this week, with extended family. The cottage and grounds were exactly as we remembered them, with the addition of a drawing hanging on the wall, that my daughter had left for the owners, in 2014. What a surprise and joy to see! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely cottage with us.
Extremely pleased. The host even took my grandson (age 3) in to feed the chickens with her! She also brought us a new remote so he could watch the Disney movies provided. More pillows and linens than you will ever need. Cottage is very roomy and even has a bedroom in the loft. My old pup had a great place to hobble around off leash as the whole property was fenced in. One reason I picked the cottage was due to it being on a farm- quiet, beautiful views - early one morning there were deer in the pasture- and easy to find. I think I have found my home away from home for the future. And I have to also mention the T.A.R.D.I.S that greets you as you turn in to the property.
This property was exactly as advertised. The cottage was so cute and had everything we needed. Sitting on the front porch was ideal for relaxing. We would definitely stay here again.
From the moment I was greeted by the farm's cat I knew I'd made the right selection. My week was made extra comfortable by a sweetly decorated space, comfortable beds and an explosion of stars in the night sky by a warm fire pit. I will definitely look to stay here again.
I slept well every night and was comfortable every day. The cottage was ideally situated for my travel plans in the area, but also a pleasant place to wile away a day of relaxation. As a kind-of city girl, seeing the cows in the nearby pasture and hearing the roosters greet the dawn were bonuses. Thank you!
This little red cabin had everything we needed. It was clean and well equipped. And quiet! Enjoyed the chickens and cattle very much. Thank you.
A wonderful contrast to the hustle and bustle of Gainesville. Fun at the University, yet looked so forward to the escape of the farmhouse, pastoral settings, solitude of this gem. No light pollution-wonderful night sky views. Comfortable home, ample appointments. Will return!
