Sweetwater Branch Inn - Victorian Style and Elegance
The glimpse from University Avenue of lights adorning two stately Victorian homes unfolds to reveal “a small village,” a labor of love built up over 30 years. Countless memories have been made at Sweetwater Branch Inn since Cornelia Holbrook opened the Cushman-Colson House as a bed and breakfast in 1993.
Gainesville’s beloved event venue and boutique lodging now spans almost two acres of walking trails and colorful gardens with statues and fountains, featuring 29 rooms, large and small event spaces, a saltwater pool, lily pond, and chef-made breakfast every morning. A perfect spot for your out of town guests, and be sure to check out their local events!
Firefly Cottages - Old Florida Cottage Style
A gentleman couple fled rainy Seattle in 2017 on a “Breeze”—an old Airstream trailer—with their dog, a bucket list, and a deep craving for life away from high rises, traffic jams, and 300 days of drizzle. With no idea what or where Cedar Key was, they found it, and in it a style of life they’d not imagined. Firefly Cottages now stands on the bones of an Old Florida Fishing Camp. It is where Ian, Darrin (and Indah) now welcome visitors from anywhere to their vision of a more perfect world.
