About the host
Hosted by Viv
What I want guests to know about me:
I come from a large, close-knit family with deep roots in the countryside. My grandparents and parents believed in making everything from scratch — from food to furniture to linens — and took great pride in creating a warm, welcoming home for everyone who visited. That spirit of hospitality shaped who I am today.
I began hosting my own home in 2008, long before platforms like Airbnb or Vrbo existed. I called it a “Turn-Key Home” because guests could simply arrive, settle in, and feel completely at ease — just like home. Over the years, it’s been especially popular with guests attending the Ocala HITS events.
Hospitality runs in my blood. I’ve been learning how to make people feel comfortable and cared for since I was young, simply by watching my family go out of their way to treat everyone like one of their own. It’s a joy for me to continue that tradition with my guests today.

Why they chose this property
I was drawn to this neighborhood because of its peaceful, natural beauty. Tucked among tall, lush trees in a quiet golf course community, the area offers wide open green spaces and walking paths perfect for peaceful strolls and children riding scooters.
What I love most is how easy it is to slow down here. Whether it's enjoying a morning coffee on the front porch or back porch while watching the birds; or bundling up in a blanket on a cool night to gaze at the star-filled sky, this neighborhood invites you to unwind and reconnect with nature.
The nearby hiking trails, manicured greens, and serene views make it ideal for families, couples, and anyone looking for a restorative escape. Indoors, the cozy stone fireplace creates the perfect atmosphere for relaxed evenings after a day exploring nearby springs and farms.
