Lovely Retreat

Denise the host of the downtown retreats is awesome and easy to communicate with. The place we stayed in was beautifully decorated with all the ammenties one would have at home. Everything was spotless, clean and new. The beds and bedding are amazing!!! We will definitely stay here again when visiting Ocala. It is close to everything you need including food, dining and stores including The Ocala Market which we loved and silver springs where we saw Mannittee. Excellent place to stay if you are visiting Ocala. Definitely better than any hotel. I cant say enough about how comfortable we were and how lovely it was for our stay over the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend. Again Denise, your host is incredible!

Cute and cozy

Overall a great stay! Had everything we needed. Decorated very nice, comfortable couch and very spacious. Extra thought was put into things like labeling the light switches VERY USEFUL. I wish we had a bit more room in bathroom drawers/cabinet for our use but we made it work. In this particular unit you are in the back which is facing the back of a business. A few early mornings(5:40) we woke up to the garbage truck picking up the dumpster. Not something that is anyones fault, but seems too early for trash pickup. Not a deal breaker for us, we would definitely stay again next time we are in the area! (Will be bringing a few chairs to sit on the deck next time)
