Summary: Most importantly to me was the owner of the property. She was so very sweet. She made us fresh cookies. She offered us to pick strawberries and lemons, and even more than that she had a genuine smile and a beautiful personality and we loved her and we were only there for three days. I would highly recommend this property very clean and the farm was absolutely beautiful. The smell of the fresh air and the birds, it was just such a great place to be, and we really appreciate it.

Summary: Lisa was very welcoming and communicated well through my two-week stay (things like trash day or contractors coming on to the property.) Bella and Zoey were adorable to meet, and quite well behaved after checking me in. Definitely recommend this place!

Summary: We evacuated from hurricane Milton to this peaceful retreat. Our host was the best and we loved visiting with the two pups, Bella & Zoey, every day. The property is a short drive from historical downtown Alachua, which is very quaint and fun to explore.

Summary: Booked the property for my dad who was in a bad car accident. He is local but had a lot of family staying at his house including 6 kids & needed a quiet place to rest and recover. The Moondrift Guesthouse was PERFECT!! The owners, Lisa & Joy are so warm an inviting! I’m so glad we live locally and will be able to keep in touch! My dad needed to heal in many ways, his time here helped get that process started. He was able to rest and relax, enjoy the peace and quiet of the country, enjoy the warmth and compassion of the hosts. It was easy access, secure drive, safe area. The home was clean and had all of the basic necessities! Would highly, HIGHLY recommend for anyone seeking a quiet place to rest and relax!

Summary: Just like the property said. Very nice location as we were there for NHRA racing. Easy check in/out, very clean house. Lisa and pups were very friendly and enjoyed the time that we had to visit a little. More enjoyable than a hotel, would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone traveling in that area.
