From South Florida:
If you're coming from Southeast Florida/Orlando, take the turnpike to the end and continue north on I-75. If you're coming from anywhere on the Southwest coast/Tampa/Clearwater/St. Petersburg, take I-75 all the way. Exit I-75 at the first Gainesville exit (#382). Head east on "Williston Road" (Fl. 331), cross over SW 13th Street (approximately 3 miles). Continue one half mile until you get to Main Street (Fl. 329). Turn left onto South Main Street and head north until you come to South Second Avenue (fifth traffic signal). Turn right (east) and proceed to SE Seventh Street (seven small-town blocks).

*As you come into town, US 441 also becomes SW 13th Street. Go up the side of UF's campus to SW Second Avenue and turn right/east. Go approximately 20 blocks to SE Seventh Street and turn right/south at the flashing red light. We're the yellow, three-story Victorian 80 feet on the left at 221 SE Seventh Street.Pull into the parking area and come to the kitchen porch.


Alternate/scenic route from the south:

Exit I-75 at Ocala (Exit 358) and head east to U.S. 441. Turn left and proceed north and make sure you bear left when U.S. 301 splits and goes towards Starke. You'll go through McIntosh and Micanopy (historic little towns with great antiques!) and cross Paines Prairie as you approach Gainesville. Turn right when you intersect Fl. 331 and turn left on Fl. 329 or South Main Street. Then follow directions above*.


From Jacksonville:
Take I-295 South to I-10 west. It' s a short ride to U.S. 301 (Exit 343). Keep your eyes open, as it's easy to pass by!  Take U.S. 301 south through the bustling metropolises of greater Lawtey, Stark and Waldo. Please observe the speed limits. These towns are notorious for their enforcement! Anyhow, bear right onto Fl. 24 in Waldo (35 mph!) and continue to Gainesville (23 miles). You'll see the Gainesville airport as you approach town. Continue until you come to East University Avenue (Fl. 26). Turn right onto Fl. 26 and you'll come to SE Seventh Street (four blocks, second traffic signal). Turn left onto SE Seventh Street and proceed through the intersection at SE Second Avenue (flashing red traffic signal). We're 200 feet south on the left.

Call us at 352.373.4535 for a more relaxing alternative.

 

From the West and North:
Take I-75 south until you come to exit #399. Exit to US 441 south and follow until you come into Gainesville. Pass University Avenue (Holiday Inn) until you come to SW Second Avenue. Turn left (east) and proceed over Main Street to SE Seventh Street. Head to SE Seventh Street (flashing red traffic signal) and turn right (south). We're 200 feet south on the left.
