The grounds are beautiful and the location good. We were within walking distance of nice restaurants. The rooms are ok but there's a musty smell throughout. It was quite enough as we stayed on a weekday.

Overall, this is a place to consider toward the top of the short list in Gainesville, but we returned from an event at 9:30 p.m. on a Saturday night to turn in and were kept up until past Midnight by a live guitarist playing cover songs with sound/speaker amplifiers. He was performing at a wedding reception on an outdoor patio... More

I love this place! I recently stayed in the Cornelia room. It was beautiful! The staff is very warm and friendly and happy to accomodate you with anything you need.

Set in gorgeous old Victorian houses and right near everything, it is hard to imagine why one would stay in a hotel when you could stay at the Sweetwater Branch Inn. Our room (Luisa) was beautiful and quiet, and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed one evening at the Inn while visiting family in Gainesville. Our room was clean, well furnished and the bed was super comfortable. We met other guests at the wine and cheese social and walked a few blocks to dinner after perusing their lovely gardens. The owner greeted is the following morning with a 5 star breakfast of homemade... More

My daughter and I stayed in Lilli's cottage and loved it! Breakfast was great, friendly staff and nicely restored place! If you are staying in the peripheral cottages, just make sure to lock your car etc. Breakfast was very tasty, we felt very welcome, and the jacuzzi was a great addition. The garden was pretty.

My son got married here in mid March. The staff here is the best. Sarah, Lauren and everyone else that I came in contact with were most helpful. The rooms were great and the breakfast was delicious. I would highly recommend Sweetwater for any type of function or just to enjoy for a stay in Gainesville.
