Rich was excellent at helping us navigate me putting in the wrong email during booking! He also replied in a timely manner even while he was on vacation and left us with a number to call if we had a problem while he was gone! Home was lovely, clean, and very cozy! Definitely would stay again!

Safe and fun travels always!
My fiancée and I were yearning some seclusion from the busy holiday season and this place did the trick. The home was lovely and we enjoyed making s’mores by the fire outside. We are adding this location to our list of little getaways and look forward to returning.

Thanks again for staying with us Erin. And thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come back to stay over and over again!
We booked this house so that we could be close to the variety of natural springs that are in the area. The house was icing on the cake. Tons of room, fully stocked with everything you need, and a great location. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely rent again.

The property and Rich (the Host) are amazing.
This is my 2nd trip to Majestic Meadows and my son and I fully enjoyed everything about this property and its close proximity to Goethe Forest (15mins). I plan on taking a weekend getaway trip to the property in the upcoming months with my fiance. Everything about the property and location is perfect for a relaxing weekend.
Our stay at Majestic Meadows was enjoyed by our entire group! The property is beautiful with all the comforts needed for a relaxing time with family and friends. The owner/operator is super helpful and responsive of any need we had during our stay. This would be a perfect place for parents of UF students...Graduation, Parents Weekend, or football games. We will definitely be back!
Enjoyed everything about this property. Beautiful home in close proximity to Goethe Forest (15mins). Rich is an amazing host and was in direct communication throughout our entire stay. Plan on revisiting this home again for our next visit to Goethe forest. This visit was just my son and I but plan on bringing entire family for next visit.

Thanks Shawna. I'm very excited when people are coming to our area for the first time! I'm so glad you chose to spend it with us and I hope that you come back in the future. There is so much more to see! Thanks again for being such great guests!
Hi, I'm Rich, the owner and host of Majestic Meadows. I share this special place with my son, Mattie (20), who has Down syndrome. Mattie has an incredible gift for hospitality and genuinely enjoys helping make our guests feel welcome.
Majestic Meadows has become much more than a vacation rental for us—it's a place where families and friends can slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories together.
When someone stays with us, we have three simple goals:
1. We want you to have an incredible experience.
2. We hope you love Majestic Meadows so much that you come back.
3. We hope you enjoy your stay enough to tell your family and friends about us.
Thank you for considering Majestic Meadows. We look forward to welcoming you to our little corner of Florida horse country.
Why they chose this property
I didn't really choose this neighborhood—it kind of chose me.
Majestic Meadows was originally my dad's property. After he passed away, I realized what a truly special place it is and wanted to share it with others.
One of the first things you'll notice as you arrive is the beautiful canopy of majestic live oak trees lining the country road. They create a peaceful entrance and set the tone for everything that follows.
Located in the heart of Ocala horse country, we're close to the World Equestrian Center, HITS, Rainbow River, Devil's Den, Crystal River, and the University of Florida—yet when you arrive, you'll feel like you've escaped the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
It's the perfect place to slow down, enjoy nature, and experience the peace that makes this area so special.
What makes this property unique
There are plenty of beautiful vacation homes, but I believe what makes Majestic Meadows different is how it makes people feel.
This isn't a subdivision or a crowded resort. It's 58 peaceful acres in the heart of Ocala horse country where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the people who matter most.
One of the first things you'll notice is the beautiful canopy of majestic live oak trees as you drive in. Then the property opens up to wide-open pastures, grazing cattle, towering oaks, and big Florida skies. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee on the screened porch, watching a colorful sunset from an Adirondack chair, gathering around the firepit, or simply listening to the breeze through the trees, there's a peacefulness here that's hard to describe until you experience it yourself.
We're also uniquely located—close enough to enjoy everything the area has to offer, yet far enough away to truly relax. The World Equestrian Center, HITS, Rainbow River, Devil's Den, Crystal River, Silver Springs, and the University of Florida are all an easy drive, making Majestic Meadows an ideal home base for your stay.
As a hands-on owner and host, I take great pride in sharing this special property with our guests. My son, Mattie, and I want every guest to feel welcomed from the moment they arrive. Our hope is simple: that you'll leave feeling refreshed, make wonderful memories with the people you love, and look forward to coming back again.
Many guests tell us that what they remember most isn't just the house—it's the peace, the sunsets, the star-filled skies, and the feeling of being completely at ease.
Welcome to Majestic Meadows. We hope you'll experience it for yourself.
