I was traveling to Florida for a long weekend of classes in Ocala, and am so glad I found this stay. I’d been to Ocala twice before for class and had some run ins with sketchy hotels and false advertising. In contrast, this stay was just as advertised - a quiet stay in a nice neighborhood. So many personal touches made this stay feel cozy. Their decor was so cute - just made me feel like I was staying at a friend’s house rather than some impersonal or generic flipped property. Everything was neat, clean, and easy to find. Hosts responded quickly to questions, and were respectful of my privacy while also very friendly. If I return to Ocala I’ll definitely be looking to stay here again if it’s available!

We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We lived in the pool. Lol. The pool is right outside your door. It was fabulous. The ranch was gorgeous. The horses beautiful. Max told us about The Yearling. We went there for dinner on my husband’s birthday. It was like visiting old Florida. The food was fabulous. The whole trip was very relaxing and stress free. I’d give it 100 stars if I could!!

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.

Silver Springs

We wanted to check out Silver Springs and that’s what led us to this cute place. It’s Guest house with a pool behind the main house, but it’s a very quiet and beautiful neighborhood. House is well kept and has everything you need for a nice weekend. We enjoyed walking our dogs around and Silver Springs definitely lived up to the hype.

A quiet, comfortable place.

This was a delightful residence for our six-day stay in Ocala. As described, the kitchen facilities were fine for breakfasts and take-out dinners, but not for serious cooking. The neighborhood is safe, pleasant, and very quiet. We'll be back in Ocala, and will be delighted to stay here again.

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.

Mother and daughter get-away

The cottage stay was exactly as we'd hoped. It was delightfully relaxing to say the least. My daughter and I enjoyed slow country mornings drinking our coffees and watching the horses as they grazed nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed the private pool for lounging and reading after kayaking The Canyons and Silver Springs and after horseback riding with Cactus Jack's. I highly recommend this property for a stress-free vacation. Would love to come 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.

A Month of Fun! Will stay again.

Unique cottage perfect for two. Close to everything but secluded and totally safe. Perfect for getting away from it all. Our dogs had freedom they never experienced before and enjoyed our many long walks. The owners are delightful, live close by, and are responsive to anything you would want. Will recommend to our friends and stay again. We left snow and frigid weather behind for a month. ONLY ONE PROBLEM…….we couldn’t stay longer!
