Wife & I stayed 4 nights over the July 4 holiday at the Laurel Oak Inn, in the Cumberland room. Absolutely beautiful views from the room as well as the remaining property areas. The entire Bed & Breakfast area of Gainesville brings you back to an earlier age of welcoming elegance. Laurel Oak Inn right at the top of the list. So quiet and relaxing, we hated to go.
Unfortunately work on Monday!! Outstanding property, highly recommended.
The hosts let us check in early due to our room being available. Very appreciated after an overnight flight from Seattle! Beautiful home, very nice room, plentiful snacks and drinks, delicious breakfast, and very nice young lady who cooked breakfast. Can’t recommend this more highly!
The Laurel Oak is a great place to stay. They are the perfect example of a Bed and Breakfast. Exceeded our expectations. If I ever drive through Gainesville again it will definitely be the place I will stay!!
It was a beautiful house and very clean. We enjoyed meeting other people at the B&B. We also enjoyed the complimentary wine and crown royal.
The tv channel options were horrible. Everything on tv was very old. I thought the breakfast was just ok.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We had to leave our last place due to a power outage. We booked The Laurel Oak Inn B &B after 5:00 pm and arrived @ 7:30. Even though we were a very last minute booking, we were welcomed like old friends. The breakfast was delish. The next day we couldn't get into our lodging until 4 and the Inn let us stay there and relax and read on their beautiful porch. They saved the day for us. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of their hospitality.
It was very clean, but it was my first time I've stayed at a bed and breakfast, it was very noisy and I couldn't sleep well, but everything thing else was nice.
Amazing bathroom, the large jacuzzi tub and powerful shower were great. Host wasn't present for checking in but gave us all the necessary information to make it a breeze. Complimentary wine, drinks and snacks were nice. It was located in the Bed and breakfast district so felt very comfortable. Breakfast soufflé with fresh fruits and English muffins were plentiful. Felt at home in this cozy home.
Nan and Dave were so kind, friendly, and hospitable! They provided us everything we needed for a super comfortable stay! Everything was great! Absolutely would recommend.
