Alachua House | Romantic Tiny Barn - Near Springs & UF

2 Bedroom House in Alachua

Escape to The Barn at Whispering Grove, a charming tiny barn tucked away on 7 private wooded acres near Gainesville and North Florida’s beautiful natural springs. Designed for couples, solo travelers, and small families, it’s a peaceful, one-of-a-kind retreat surrounded by nature.
Start your morning with coffee on the porch, spend the day exploring nearby springs and trails, then come home to relax around the fire pit beneath the stars. Enjoy a private garden patio, BBQ grill, outdoor seating, fast Wi-Fi, Smart TV, free parking, and easy self check-in.
Inside, you’ll find a cozy, thoughtfully designed space with a queen bed in one loft and two twin beds in the second loft. Please note that the sleeping lofts have approximately 40-inch ceilings and are cozy sleeping areas rather than standing-height bedrooms.
You’ll be conveniently located near Poe Springs, Blue Springs, High Springs, Alachua, the ISKCON Temple, and the University of Florida—giving you the privacy of a wooded escape while keeping adventures, dining, and attractions within easy reach.
Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a springs adventure, or simply need somewhere peaceful to recharge, The Barn offers a memorable North Florida getaway.

Summary: A Beautiful, Elegant Cabin That Made Our Family Reunion Unforgettable. Our stay at The Whispering Grove Retreats was absolutely wonderful. The cabin is beautiful, filled with thoughtful details, elegant touches, and a warm, cozy feeling that makes you feel at home right away. You can truly feel the love and care that went into creating this space. This trip was very special for our family, as it was the first time in 9 years that the four of us could spend time together again, and this cabin became the perfect place for us to reconnect and create beautiful memories. The cabin truly had everything we needed. There was a large double-door refrigerator with water, a washer, and a fully equipped kitchen with everything needed to prepare meals, including pots, pans, and all the essentials. There was also a coffee maker with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate capsules, soft towels for the shower, deliciously comfortable pillows, and everything needed to serve meals, including full dinnerware and utensils. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared to make guests feel comfortable and cared for. Peter and Diana were kind, thoughtful hosts who stayed in constant communication and checked in to make sure we were doing well. Everything was well organized and welcoming. We would happily return and highly recommend this peaceful retreat to anyone looking for a special and relaxing getaway.
