Betsy's place was very convenient to where we wanted to be in Gainesville. There's plenty of room for any size RV and she recently made improvements to the parking pad and hookups. We had a great stay!

Betsy is an above and beyond host. She provides an RV site with full hook ups. The site is in a large fenced in field. The Gainesville Hawthorne multi purpose trail access is only a block away. Drivers at most road crossings are very attentive and slow down when they see people at the crossings, getting ready to cross.

3 nights at The Olde salt Springs Camp
We loved the cabin. Very cute, very simple. The host was responsive and helpful. We used the fire pit, the space heaters, and all the cooking supplies. It was quiet and restful at night. The mattresses can be a bit tough if you have back issues, that’s really the only drawback.

Betsy's property is fantastic! This is our third stay here and we love it. So close to all the places we want to go. City Parks, Paynes Prairie, and breweries! It's a great place to spend a weekend or a week! The property is a beautiful little slice of nature on the edge of the city. 30amp service, good water pressure, and sewer are easy to locate and connect to. Oh, and Betsy is an absolute treat, so nice and pleasant! You won't regret booking here, I am already planning our fourth trip!

What a pleasant surprise! We loved everything about our stay. Betsy was such a kind and wonderful host. The setting couldn’t be more beautiful. The deer that visited were an added bonus. The location was also perfect, right around the the corner from a fabulous coffee shop (Afternoon Coffee), wood fired pizza, a brewery and more! Couldn’t recommend Betsy’s place enough. We will be back!

Private, quiet oasis on dead-end road adjacent to the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail and within walking distance to Depot Park, Cade Museum, and downtown Gainesville. Shared the site with deer frolicking and birds singing each day. Excellent communication with host before arrival. Host is available on site, if necessary, Greeted with six-pack of beer from First Magnitude Brewing Company. Host also offered electric scooters for transportation. Stayed at Downtown Nature Retreat twice in the past month....and would say again whenever in Gainesville! Highly recommend! Check out Paynes Prairie Preserve. Visit Humble Pie, Grand Scheme Brewing, Lynx Bookstore, 4th Street Food Court, and Karma Cream.

We had a great time at the cabin and our dogs did too! We decided to come out for some star gazing and it was fantastic! We worried about canopy coverage being in the forest but there is enough of a clearing around the house from trees for a wonderful view of the sky and caught a bit of the orionids shower. The light pollution is minimal compared to most the rest of the state unless you go into Kissimmee Prairie National Park, but we really appreciated having the private fenced in space for our 2 dogs. The beds are comfortable, the ac works well and the fans in the bedrooms were very appreciated. Having to walk outside to get to the bathroom helps you feel like your still camping but the bathroom was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed using the firepit to make dinner and loved to disconnect for a while. The DVD collection was great and we would love to camp here again in the future. Thanks Hope!

This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay. The grounds are stunning, dogs loves the fenced in yard, and Elizabeth is a wonderful host. The location is great, walked the dogs as long as they would walk, there are several parks along the path. There are great restaurants close by, and close to everything in Gainesville we needed to be at. Looking forward to our next stay!

Our stay at the Olde Salt Spring Cabin was everything we were looking for, and we’re so grateful we found it. The cabin was spotless and welcoming, with fresh sheets on the beds and a cozy, homey feel. We loved being able to cook our own meals, and the thoughtful touches — like the collection of DVDs — made it even more enjoyable.
Our daughter had the best time exploring the outdoors, and our dogs loved having the freedom to run around the big open space. It was peaceful and family-friendly, but also convenient with a Dollar General just 7 minutes away. We even had perfect cell service, so we felt tucked away in nature without being completely disconnected.
Thank you immensely for providing the cabin with everything we could possibly need. It truly felt like the perfect glamping experience, and we’d love to come back again!

Without an internet connection and without a cell phone, it's a perfect opportunity to detox from social media and enjoy nature. Never heard any neighbor, super quiet, very nice town, everybody was super nice and respectful definitely going to be renting again
