If you are visiting Gainesville, look no further than Camellia Loft. This historic gem was built in 1924 and has been freshly renovated to bring it into the modern era.

Enjoy the birdsong and majestic trees from your private deck overlooking the backyard—or relax inside as light streams through the loft's massive skylights.

Only 0.5 miles to UF campus and exactly 1 mile to the stadium, you can easily walk to campus or games. Unwind by the shared fire pit or enjoy cooking on the grill

The space
With soaring cathedral ceilings, this light-filled A-frame loft provides everything you will need for your stay in Gainesville.

BED

The king bed is equipped with four pillows and hotel-grade bedding to ensure you will have a peaceful night's rest when you stay here. If you have a third person in your party, we have an additional twin mattress that will be pulled out and made up for your stay (see photos). For a fourth person, we have a twin air mattress that will be provided (guest sets up in desired location).

TV

There is a projector and Fire TV Stick with multiple streaming platforms, so you can snuggle up and watch your favorite shows. We offer Hulu Live TV, Disney+, and ESPN+. Hulu's Live TV is the best way to catch just about any televised sports event.

BATHROOM

The bathroom features an expansive four-foot skylight in the shower. Watch red-tailed hawks soar and cardinals flit by as you take a rinse. Enjoy the vanity area with a large mirror as you get ready for a night on the town at one of Gainesville's many attractions.

KITCHENETTE/DINING

You will be provided a fully stocked coffee and tea bar with a quartz sink, mini fridge, and microwave, along with essential kitchen tools to make light meals.

Enjoy your favorite meal at the right-sized dining table—or sit in one of the comfortable chairs while you work remotely using the lightning fast fiber-optic WiFi.

OUTSIDE

Surrounded by towering oak trees, you will find the private deck tranquil and peaceful. This is a great spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening while viewing the magnificent Florida sunsets.

Come stay with us at Camellia Loft. We hope to host you soon!

Guest access

Other things to note
Please note, there is a flight of stairs that leads up to the elevated porch where you enter the loft.

The driveway is narrow. Please be mindful of the house when pulling in and backing out.
