Majestic experience We stayed in a cottage, and the it was a wonderful experience. Incredibly comfortable, and spacious. The grounds are just magical, and breathtaking. We will come back, and stay longer than two nights. Beautiful property, and so much outdoors activities to enjoy in Gainesville. Breakfast was delicious, and abundant.
