We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The beautiful cottage, the hosts,the horses, the pool!! I have absolutely nothing negative to say. Everything was perfection! I hope to go back one day.
The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. The property and properties around are beautiful horse farms. The cottage was very cute and unique. The giant live oak next to cottage is breathtaking. We had a lovely time outside by the pool and taking a walk along the horse farms. Horses were gorgeous and follows us along on their side of fence. They were so interested in our little dog. She wasn't too sure about those big things. It was a nice mini adventure !
Best vacation ever! Everything was outstanding! Our hosts were so welcoming, felt like being home. The environment is so relaxing. Our home away from home had everything you needed and then some…just in case you forget something, it is probably there. Loved visiting with the horses and other critters. There is plenty to do and see in the surrounding area, plus lots of restaurants. Would not hesitate to come back…and hope to see you again!!
Absolutely beautiful also a great place to stay if you are traveling with your pet. I would definitely recommend this cottage just to sit and relax after a busy day of sightseeing.
I have had the pleasure of staying at this cottage whenever I've visited Ocala for years now. It and the lovely hosts is my go-to. My mini-Aussie, Ruby loves it here too and is always intrigued by the horses. Why stay anywhere else?
This was the perfect spot for my weekend getaway! The farm is beautiful and sitting outside by the pool was so enjoyable! The owners were very helpful and even showed my around at check-in. Thank you for a great stay!
This is our second stay and each time has been amazing. Surrounded by beautiful pastures and friendly horses, grilling in the evenings and mimosas by the pool in the morning, we had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Can’t wait to come back.
We had an enjoyable stay over the last eight days. The weather was colder than expected, with nighttime temperatures dropping into the 20s, and the loft area was the warmest space in the house. Because of the cold weather, we weren’t able to use the pool, but the property itself was in very good shape.I especially loved the animals on the property. There were six horses and one miniature horse, all very friendly. We were able to pet them and feed them carrots and apples, which I really enjoyed. I also enjoyed watching how the horses are harnessed for a show — it was fascinating to see.There were also two dogs, Captain and Lady, who were very friendly and even looked for me through the fence one day, which was really sweet. In addition, there was a barn cat, a rooster, a hen, and several peacocks.Overall, the stay was peaceful and relaxing. We truly enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and hospitality and would definitely return again.
My friend and I stayed for a week - exactly what we needed. The evening sunset capped off a day poolside. Ann and Max are great hosts. I highly recommend a stay here for rest, relaxation, and peace. I will definitely stay again.
Wonderful stay, Max and Anne were very attentive, checked on us but were very respectful of our privacy. Would definitely stay again.
