Experience luxury and elegance at the Camellia Rose Mansion, a stunning Queen Anne Victorian estate located in the heart of historic downtown Gainesville. This 4,000-square-foot historic mansion, registered on both the City and National Historic Registries, blends Southern charm with modern luxury, making it the ideal setting for family reunions, corporate retreats, wedding parties, or alumni gatherings.
Designed for the ultimate comfort of guests during its 20-year history as a popular Bed & Breakfast, the home offers a refined yet inviting atmosphere. The layout is perfectly suited for large groups, featuring 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. Each of the seven beautifully appointed bedrooms features a king-sized bed and its own private en-suite bathroom, ensuring total privacy for every guest. For added charm, four of the suites include their own cozy fireplaces. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, including an accessible suite with an ADA-compliant bathroom and ramp entry.
The interior boasts expansive common areas, including a grand living room with elegant furnishings and a cozy fireplace, and a formal dining area that seats 14 under antique chandeliers. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with granite countertops and double ovens, providing ample space to prepare celebratory feasts.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with four covered porches, including a massive 1,200 sq. ft. wraparound porch lined with classic rocking chairs overlooking the rose garden and fountain. The large, fenced backyard serves as a private oasis in the middle of the city, perfect for garden parties or peaceful relaxation.

Please note that the AirBNB extenuating circumstances cancellation policy does not cover hurricanes in Florida or COVID, but the insurance covers both 100%. We ask that you please purchase AirBNB cancellation insurance at check-out in order to cover any unforeseen changes that would cause a cancellation or early departure that is outside of the cancellation window (i.e. weather related, health related, flight issues, etc...). AirBNB offers insurance at check-out and if a circumstance arises that would cause a cancellation or early departure (outside of the cancellation range, or an early departure that arises during your stay), then the insurance policy will refund you 100% as long as it's within the terms. Thanks! And we hope that nothing would come up that would interfere with the trip, but we want to make sure you're covered just in case. If no insurance policy is purchased, that's OK, too- we are happy to open up the dates on the calendar and try to re-rent. If we can re-rent, then we can refund the amount recuperated, but we cannot issue a full refund unless we can re-rent from an early departure or cancellation.
Thanks so much- we are looking forward to welcoming you!
