    The Camellia Rose Inn has spacious uncluttered rooms with large windows offering grand views of historic Gainesville. Each room is beautifully decorated with period antiques and modern conveniences like FREE wireless internet access, yet maintains the feel of an era bygone. As guests of the Camellia Rose Inn you are treated like family, and we are a family who loves to eat! We offer a full, three course breakfast that can be served in our dining room or on our beautiful wrap-around porch. After a day of sightseeing, antique shopping, or cheering on our 2006 National Championship Gators to victory, you'll come home to fresh-baked goodies available throughout the day! Early evenings feature a happy hour with wine and snacks, too. Enjoy a glass of wine on our wrap-around porch and watch the sun set on a perfect day in Gainesville!

    Perfect Retreat!

    April 26, 2013

    Pat and Tom did it again! My husband and I just finished our third stay at their B&B and it did not disappoint. We stayed in The Anticipation Room and left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The breakfast, afternoon Happy Hour and the brownies all hit the spot perfectly each day. We highly recommend this B&B and definitely will be back again!

    What a nice place to stay! Very pleased!

    December 23, 2011

    We stayed for one night at the Camellia Rose Inn in the Anticipation Suite. We were staying in Gainesville for a Bachelorette Party, and needed somewhere relaxing to stay that was near downtown. The owner Pat was very accomodating to our schedule and made our stay very welcoming. We loved the Camellia Rose Inn and would happily stay there again!

    The Camellia Rose Inn is a lovely escape from the modern world. The innkeepers take such care with everything, and it shows. The linens are magical - hand-pressed sheets in 2011! Porches and rockers. So quiet. I slept better than I have in months.

    What a great area to stay in. Pat and her husband made us feel like we were family. If you travel to Gainesville and do not stay at the Camellia Rose Inn you are missing out

    This was a Christmas gift from our daughter and son-in-law. We stayed 2 nights in June, and it was wonderful. Every B&B has it's own character but the Camellia Rose Inn is the best of everything. Decor, comfort, hospitality, food, Pat and Tom are 5 stars all the way.

    My wife and I originally spent our honeymoon at the Camellia Rose Inn on 05/22/2010. This year we found ourselves as guests there again! Tom and Pat are outstanding hosts and keep their guests foremost. Their home is beautiful and the accommodations are more than you need. The Inn sits within the historic district of Gainesville. The Anticipation Room, where we have stayed both times, is a corner room on the second floor that offers a panoramic view of the well-maintained landscaping, easy access to the porch so that you can relax on the rocking chairs right outside your room. It has a bubble-jet tub that massages away the stress. When you awaken and walk down to the dining room, Pat will have breakfast ready. I suggest the homemade blueberry pancakes! If you are looking for the best experience checkout The Camellia Rose Inn for your stay!

    Happy 50th to my hubby what a way to celebrate!

    April 25, 2011

    My husband and I had a wonderful night in Spat's Hideaway! We had never stayed in a B&B before so we really didn't know what to expect and the Camellia Rose far exceeded our expectations. The jacuzzi tub was awesome! Tom and Pat were wonderful hosts, hopefully we will get to go back soon for a longer stay!
