Clean, Fantastic Stay!!

Just like the photos. VERY clean, beds were comfy. I loved sitting on the back porch watching football with the family. 7 of us stayed, 4 adults and 3 teen boys, having 2 kings and 3 twins was perfect. Rooms were big, could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you!

Great location and great property

My daughter was getting married that weekend and we needed a bigger place for the siblings to stay during the wedding festivities. We could not have asked for a nice place. The home was very clean and appropriately appointed. The host was outstanding in providing all the information everyone needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Do not hesitate to stay at this property.

Perfect In Every Way

This property was exactly as described and as seen in the photos. The host couldn't have thought of anything else to make our stay more enjoyable. Our dog absolutely loved the huge fenced in backyard. Although, it was just me, my husband and our dog, this house is perfect for a large family. We will be back when in the area.

We had another return visit to the area and of course we chose Henry’s. We love the central location in Ocala while visiting family and friends. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. The backyard is huge with the pool, the available grill to cook on, and the fire pit to enjoy a nice fire at night. Let’s not forget the playroom with the pool table. Great place, perfect location from town or the villages will return again soon. Perfect place if you have pets or kids or both.
