Magnolia Plantation Bed and Breakfast Inn 309 Southeast 7th Street, Gainesville, FL 32601

"Such a perfect and peaceful place to stay to visit my son at UF. It felt as if we were on a mini vacation. I highly recommend staying here."

"We cannot say enough good things about this place. If six stars could be awarded, then this place would get it. Cindy and Joe were away on vacation and Amber was in charge -- she is a gem, and no matter what she is paid by the owners, it should be more. We had a different and wonderful breakfast cooked for us as we arrived at the cafe each morning, including eggs, coffee, OJ and fruit. Anything we asked for was provided instantly with a smile. We will definitely be back."

"The best place to stay in Gainesville. Family run. Great breakfast included and different every day. Have stayed 4 or 5 times. Very clean. Roomy. Private cottages available. Pet friendly. Lush landscaping. Highly recommended."

"My girlfriend and I spent the night in the Secret Garden cabin. What a wonderful experience from start to finish. Cindy greeted us when we arrived, answered and even anticipated questions, showed us around and left us to enjoy the room. Breakfast was served fresh in the morning and Joe came by to introduce himself and add some commentary about the local music scene and history. The room had everything we needed right down to wine glasses and candles near the giant jacuzzi tub! Check out was a breeze. Make sure you say hi to Turtle (cat) and Annie (dog) while you’re there."

"The place is beautiful and comfortable and Cindy is very nice and helpful. The bed was a little firm for my liking and the bathroom pedestal sink had separate faucets for the hot and cold, so i had to put water in the sink to get it even. The breakfast was tasty. There is road noise to the front but ended at a decent hour. We enjoyed our short stay. Thanks for the hospitality Cindy."
