Jonah was a wonderful attentive host-can’t think of a single thing that would make this property betterOnly about 10 miles from Mount Dora and very convenient
Jonah was amazing we loved the area. Every night he would make a bon fire for us. Fresh eggs in the fridge when we arrived. We loved hisgentle kind spirit very helpful in directing us where to eat. The springs and tubing were amazing 10 star. We loved the animals a little slice of heaven. Thanks Jonah Michelle gentle kind spirit
I really enjoyed my stay. So much better than a hotel. Jonah was a really sweet man. I really enjoyed the goats!!! He wanted to know if there was anything he could do to make the stay better for next guests. Seemed to appreciate any suggestions. Overall I really enjoyed this place and would stay again
Wonderful property, location and Jonah was a great host. Very knowledgeable of restaurants and access to the springs. Couldn't have been a better trip. Thank you Jonah
Everything about this place was amazing! The goats and chickens and horses where the highlight of the trip! We were able to explore many locations in the area since everything was so close! We would definitely come back again, just with more carrots (:
We had a very relaxing anniversary weekend. We loved watching all of the animals by the firepit. Jonah was the friendliest host and was helpful with things to do and places to eat. We have already booked another stay!!!
We were in town for our daughter's wedding. Jonah's house was the perfect spot for pre-wedding festivities with the bridesmaids. Jonah was very accommodating.
Jonah was a Great host very hospitable owner and very helpful on nearby attractions, very welcoming an overall great experience I would definitely recommend anyone to vist the Paradise Ranch to friends and family..
This property is in the heart of Apopka but yet is a rural farm retreat. Owner is on property in main house and is a fantastic host. Our Dog loved running with the goats and chickens and we enjoyed the retreat from the city commotion. Owner prepared bonfires for us each night and property was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this property if visiting the area.
We had a wonderful two night stay. Beautiful property very clean and comfy beds. House was well equipped. We even got fresh eggs for breakfast. Jonah was very kind and accommodating. We will be coming back!
Stayed the weekend with my family and friends and was more than pleased, jonah made sure or stay was going to be remembered for the rest of our lives.
He will be seeing a lot of us again, this will be our primary rental for central fl.
We had a wonderful time. Jonah will treat you like family. It is so peaceful and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the outdoor firepit prepared and lit by the host. The goats and horses are friendly, and love apples and carrots. Jonah will also provide you with farm eggs. Cannot say enough good things about this stay. If you are visiting the theme parks you are only 30-45 minutes away. We will definitely return.
We absolutely loved staying at this property. My two kids (4 and 7 years old) had a blast feeding the goats and horses. The host was very helpful and he even had fresh eggs waiting for us from his chickens. The fire pit was spacious, and the grilling area was outstanding. This small farm is a hidden gem, if you are looking for a quiet outdoor retreat. It’s is just minutes away from Kelly Park, which makes it easier to beat the crowds!
Great stay. I have worked in the hotel industry for 37+ years and our host needs to come out of retirement and come work for me. He could teach some of or younger associates a thing or two about hospitality. Great stay, the pictures don't do it justice. Close to everthing but far enough away as well. Go enjoy this Slice Of Paradise.
What a wonderful place to relax! Jonah was an amazing host and couldn't do enough for us. It was just what the doctor ordered, a well needed rest for all. It was so fun seeing the goats and horses and the bon fire at night was beautiful. We had some delicious smores! It was pretty neat how you were in the country but stores were nearby as well as places to kayak and tubing. I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Jonah!
Jonah was a terrific host. He went above and beyond. The property was beautifully surrounded by large oak trees. The goats and horses are friendly. The house itself is very clean, cozy, and had everything you may need. I can't wait to return. 😍
A slice of paradise is an under statement, this place was heaven. Jonah was the perfect host. He had farm fresh eggs in the fridge when we arrived and had more for us when we ran out. The property has the perfect amound of shade and sun. It was so quiet at night that we slept the best we slept in a long time. I could go on and on but i will definitely be sharing this place with coworkers and recommending it to everyone.

We stayed 3 nights and it really felt like home! Jonah was the best host. Always willing to lend a hand if we needed anything. He was kind enough to share his property with our family. My 9yr old loved to tend to the goats daily and visit the chickens. Our dogs were welcomed and encouraged to run free and have fun as well. I will most definitely stay here again in the future.
We loved this rental! It was extremely clean and had everything we needed. We used the kitchen to make breakfast. The owner, Jonas even left farm fresh eggs in the refrigerator. The host was great with communication, he met us at check in and showed us everything in the rental. The best part was the pasture with the animals and the fire pit. We interacted with goats, horses, and a pig. If you need a place to stay in this area, don’t hesitate to book this one. The fire pit was super nice in the evenings - sitting out there and making s’mores was great.
This trip exceeded our expectations. We captured some fantastic lifetime memories. Arriving at the house, John gave us a tour of his property and let us know all the hot spots around the neighborhood. The kids fed the goats, saw the chickens, and petted the horses. The best of all, this place is between 2 beautiful natural springs!! I recommend it to all my friends and family, and we will return as soon as possible.
Thank you so much
I'll start off by saying Jonah is the absolute best host I've ever had in a VRBO or any other rental property. He is very welcoming, shows you around and gives you eggs from his chickens. He makes sure you have a great stay.
The property is also amazing. Kids played with the goats and horses. The fire pit area is also great. The location is perfect for those that are visiting the Springs. You're 10 min away from Wekiwa and Rock springs. If you're thinking of booking this property, stop thinking about it and do it. You'll thank me later.
Outstanding!!!Could not have found any better lodging for our granddaughters wedding weekend. Quaint little house tucked away amongst gorgeous oak trees, with large area for parking, and huge yard for just about any yard games. Spotlessly clean, with independent Heat/AC units in each BR and living area. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with utensils, spices and just about everything for everyday needs. I was able to bake my homemade pastries for the wedding as if it were my own kitchen. The entire cottage is stocked with much needed everyday items. WIFI worked perfectly. Jonah the host, is absolutely fantastic!!!! He even provided us with a dozen of his Jumbo size fresh eggs. What a wonderful and kind gentleman. There is a bonfire pit that Jonah will set-up for you if you wish. We originally wanted to have a fire with the bridal party present and Jonah had it ready and waiting. Although, as happens with weddings and weather situations, plans changed and we were unable to partake. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a quiet, peaceful location just a few minutes outside the Apopka area. The Club Lake Wedding Venue is about 5 minutes away and Kelly Park is about 10 minutes down the road. You absolutely can not beat the personable service and kindness of this host. I would give a 20 star review if I could.
