Amazing local brewery just 7 blocks from our guest house. Use our tandem bike, walk, or drive. This brewery was an old ice house in the early 1900's and they used the existing groundwater well that made the ice to now make their beer. Excellent outdoor space for families and all to enjoy when the weather is nice.

An amazing nature park with some of the best birding in the region. Lots of alligators and several miles of trails along the berms. It is a constructed wetland that treats the City's stormwater and also polishes Gainesville's wastewater before it flows towards Alachua Sink.
