This is our fourth time staying on this farm but the first time in this house. The setup is perfect, the bed is very comfortable and it’s very clean. Very nice washer/ dryer to do your laundry as well. Pam was a great host, as usual! So much fun to see how the farm and animals change from year to year.

Beautiful Property, Relaxing Stay!

The pictures do not do this property justice! If you enjoy being in a quiet, remote (but not too remote) place, and being near horses and other farm animals (cows, goats, donkeys, and bunnies), then you will enjoy your stay here. The rental had everything we needed, and Pam was very pleasant to deal with. We hope to stay again soon!

Pamela and her husband are the best. It was such a great experience. My teenage kids loved the place. I have family in Ocala and Pam welcomed everyone to the farm to spend time with the animals. Definitely recommend her place.

Most beautiful relaxing place with wonderful hosts

The nicest owners ever, most pleasant, helpful and conscious!!!! Kids had a blast, and we cannot wait to go back. There were so many animals, scottish cows my favorite. The property grounds are immaculate. Be advised, there are two very nice sized bathrooms, but one is tub only, no hand held etc, I meant to suggest it and will. By far one of my nicest stays. There is more than one property, this one is downstairs apartment so if you want more quiet, you can also consider one of those. It's better to stock up before arriving, To me, better shopping turn left at gate.. You will not regret this stay..definitely going back for my daughter's birthday.

central florida gateway

The ranch is beautiful and alive with many different animals. we were fortunate to be on site for many baby goats and a baby llama, a cria. The hosts were very generous allowing to interact and feed the adult animals. the property is conveniently located in the greater Ocala Gainsville area. Providing for a wide variety of sights and services. Citra where the ranch is located has its own special charm and history. The Orange Lake area is unique and special. Be curious to explore Mid florida's swampy mangrove history. So much water. The housing is spacious and modern . The hosts are wonderfully warm and friendly.

Wonderful Rural Vacation

Horse farm that exceeds -- not only horses, but cows, donkeys, alpacas, goats and rabbits. We have a young golden retriever that never experienced other animals -- she was shy at first but warmed up to these beautiful animals. This location was very close to Gainesville and Ocala - offered many State Parks to hike and golf courses to play. Accommodations were wonderful - walks around the farm morning and evening with play time during the day. Unit was clean with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, laundry room, and full kitchen and Livingroom. Anyone that is traveling with a dog, this is an excellent choice to rent - there is an awesome fenced in area in front of the unit for the dog to be left out by itself. Bottom line -- it was a great place to vacation and I highly recommend it.

My son and I were looking for a place near Ft. McCoy, for a weekend hunting trip and came accross this property. Very nice. Pamala was very nice and anwered my questions within minutes before booking and during my stay. When you arrive you will immediately see that this is in a very nice and tranquil horse community. After entering through the gate you see donkeys grazing and they are friendly. Just watching them was quite peaceful. This property is the downstair portion of this home and it is spacious. Four adults staying her would be very comfortable with no problem.The rooms are very spacious, as well, and neatly kept. My son and I really enjoyed it. I Highly recommend.

Very comfortable stay. Property hosts were very friendly and allowed us to freely roam the property to enjoy the animals. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows at the fire pit at night. Visited nearby Silver Springs and Cross Creek in the day. Will definitely revisit in the future.

Our dream farm

We absolutely loved staying here! And we’re sorry to leave. We woke up to beautiful sunny views of peaceful farm animals grazing, and every night after dinner we’d take a walk around the farm and say hi and goodnight to all the animals. Pam even let the kids feed and lead the animals to their stalls, and brought down baby bunnies for the kids to play with. The hosts were both so friendly and let us pet all the animals. (This is not always the case on farms like this.) Pam was fabulous…very attentive and responsive and cheerful, and over the week she became a friend. We even had some special needs that she went the extra mile to accommodate. I would recommend this place to anyone, and especially animal lovers!

Great time in the country!

Stay was great. Everything we needed was there. The rooms (including the bathrooms) are large and roomy with a new recliner couch and flat screen TV. The oversized jacuzzi tub was a delight and the hot water never ran out. Would gladly stay there again. The host, Pat, was very helpful and even brought our Amazon packages to us. Our dog really enjoyed meeting and rubbing noses with the donkeys.

Quiet country stay

The apartment was very clean, and well furnished. We found the main bedroom mattress to be very firm, so we purchased a topper for the week. The owner indicated no one previous to us had mentioned it so maybe we are just picky. :) Most of the floors are tile, which made it feel hard and echo-ey. It was difficult to let the toddlers play on the tile, it's just not a very user friendly surface, rugs would have been very much appreciated. The unit does have a washer, dryer and a dishwasher, which was wonderful. However, there is only 1 shower, and no regular sized tubs, just a giant 90's jacuzzi lol. The kitchen was stocked pretty well, and the owner was responsive when I needed anything. Having the animals so close to us was a bonus, our children loved being able to go chat with the donkeys, goats, cows and horses. Overall a good stay for the week.
