Somethings out of a story book. Roosters, horses, Birds, private pool and more. We loved the little quiet oasis away from the city. The owner Max was very kind and let us feed the horses and gave us a few local recommendations. We loved their pups captain and Lady too.

Horse lovers place

This property was exactly as it was listed. The pool was awesome and the sounds of the animals on the property were fun to listen to the rooster, the peacocks and of course the snorting of the horses. The hosts Max and Ann were awesome and super nice people totally enjoyed our stay if we visit Ocala again we will surely stay here again.

Peaceful Paradise

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.

Quiet, Clean, Friendly

It was a nice, quiet stay (I've never heard any sirens, so what a relief). The owners were very friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of safe roads to walk by: horse farms/ranches for a nice long walk. Neighbors are also very friendly. The pool is private, and the temperature is tolerable in March and likely perfect in April. It's about 40 minutes from Catus Joe's horse riding and worth the trip.... Hiking trails are nearby at the State parks.... as well as canoeing and kayaking. I'm coming back!!!

Nice relaxing Stay in Ocala

The property is a pool-side home with just room for two people. The bedroom was upstairs via a spiral staircase and downstairs was a bathroom and a large living area including kitchen space. All walls were door walls so great views on all sides (and curtains for privacy). Was dog friendly and our dog enjoyed herself ;) Property manager was very helpful (e.g. offered us an additional heater when weather became unusually cold for the area). They were very nice people and respected our privacy.

Cute cottage with a pool

I wish I had been able to use the pool but it was just a little too chilly in December. The cottage is oozing with personality. Lots of color and light. Great spot off the back for my pup. Great communication when unneeded anything. We had a wonderful stay.
