My family and I spent this past weekend in Gainesville for some tubing and family fun. Wow. What a great time. We walked to, what has to be, the best steakhouse in Florida and enjoyed a great dinner. My wife and kids went tubing; indicating it was the most beautiful river they had been on. I relaxed on the front porch and read 3 books before retiring to a Jacuzzi tub and bed. Wildlife galore is within minutes away, we saw buffalo, alligators and butterflies (at the butterfly garden, of course). Great stay, what are you waiting for?

We stayed here to celebrate my husband's graduation. We stayed in the Anticipation room and absolutely LOVED everything about it! The breakfast was delicious and Pat and Tom were wonderful hosts! We felt comfortable the minute we stepped in the door. (I even saw Pat in town a few weeks later and she gave me a hug!)

The Camellia Rose Inn – What a wonderful find! My husband and I are avid football fans. We go to Gainesville in the fall for every home game and hated all of the chain hotels in Gainesville. When we luckily stumbled across a new bed and breakfast opening on a quaint little street several blocks from downtown, we thought, “How wonderful!” It gets even better. The owners Pat and Tom McCants are the most hospitable and friendly couple anyone could hope to meet. It feels like we are visiting favorite family members when we stay at the Inn. Pat handles the Inn with ease and grace. The breakfasts that she prepares daily are delicious. Tom is always there to lend a helping hand founded upon a great knowledge of the town. He is always ready with recommendations for outings and restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend spending time at the Camellia Rose Inn when in Gainesville.

We were surprised and happy to find an inn that with a "pet friendly" accommodation, and Spat's Hideaway was perfect for our one-day stop-over on the way up North at the end of the winter season. The room was spacious, the Inn is within a short walk of very good restaurants and the hospitality was outstanding.

My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary here this past April. After searching for somewhere to stay by looking on line, we contacted Pat. The moment we spoke with her she went out of her way to work out the most wonderful experience we could ask for. Peaceful surroundings awaited us upon arrival along with the the warmest, friendly welcome anyone could ask for. Pat & Tom have done such a fantastic job in maintaining one of the quainest, charming B&B in the area. We would highly recommend staying here if ever in the area...don't give up the chance to have a wonderful getaway by going someplace else!!! We'll be keeping this on our top list of places to return.

We couldn't be more pleased! aside from the spotlessly clean and charming turn of the century home, our hosts, Pat and Tom, were exceptional. Although it was April in FL, when we felt a chill, they turned on the gas in our fireplace- cozy! The roll-in handicap shower was state of the art. What a pleasure!

Pat and Tom are fantastic hosts - we were personally greeted on arrival for our 4 night stay for the Gatornationals. The accomodation is simply stunning and in particular we enjoyed the wine and cheese after a long day at the racing. We thoroughly recommend this Inn as it is so charming and beautifully maintained. Such attention was paid to every detail which was a sheer joy. Totally Gatornational friendly - we were catered for with breakfast packs for our early starts!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Camellia Rose Inn. Pat and Tom were so friendly and welcoming and made our stay an absolute pleasure. Their pet-friendly cottage (Spat's Hidaway) allowed for us to bring the whole family and made our trip that much more relaxing. The inn is close to all that is going on in Gainesville and North Central FL. We were able to enjoy much of Gainesville and the wonderful areas parks while being coddled by our bed and breakfast accomodations. We will definitely be returning for a future visit.

The Camellia Rose Inn was our first B & B stay. That being said, we have a hard time imagining how any other B & B in Gainesville can top this one. Pat and Tom were gracious hosts. They were very accessible, yet at the same time, gave us our space. The food was fantastic, the room was cozy, and the house itself was spotless! The breakfast was not what you would typically expect - instead of traditional scrambled eggs, you get a gourmet quiche or instead of run-of-the-mill french toast, Pat would offer a twist to the recipe, making it delicious! And the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies melted in our mouths! The rocking chairs on the porch was the perfect place to relax. It was a nice getaway from the usual busy city schedule. We hope every other B & B we stay at can be as great an experience as this was! And if we find ourselves in Gainesville once again, we'll be sure to stay at the Camellia Rose Inn!

We had never stayed at a bed and breakfast, and this was better than what we expected. Pat and Tom are both very friendly, and hardworking people. They make you welcome and give you space at the same time. Breakfast was a little light, I thought. But everything else from hot cookies to wine in the evening, it was a perfect gateaway.

I have stayed at the Camellia Rose Inn several times, the most recent being this past Christmas. The Inn has been beautifully restored and is beyond compare to most B&Bs. Camellia Rose Inn provides a family friendly, extremely peaceful respite; great for business or pleasure.

Things that will make me come back: sitting on the beautiful front porch watching the horse and carriage go by, the most comfortable bed, Victorian style yet not 'cluttered,' bathrooms are state of the art, innkeepers are attentive and friendly yet also respect your privacy, and a most delicious breakfast to start your wonderful day!

My stay at Camilla Rose was like visiting old time Florida. It is centrally located and you can walk to the historic downtown. Pat and Tom will make you feel right at home. Every room is splendidly decorated. The warmth and charm of the Inn is magical. The Breakfast was a gourmet delight. The Inn was immaculate and i can not wait to return. S. V. Munoz

From the moment Pat opens the door and welcomes you into their bed and breakfast - you will feel like you've known Pat and Tom forever. This is the most comfortable, relaxed and charming B&B experience we've had. A yummy breakfast is the cherry on this 'perfect' sundae. Can't wait to return!
