About this property

Nestled between beautiful homes in Ocala’s Tuscawilla Historic District, our charming guest cottage is a three-block walk away from downtown Ocala, less than 9 miles away from the new Ocala Equestrian Center, and just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. You will find everything you should need for your stay.
We invite you to unpack, stay a while and see what Ocala has to offer!

The guest cottage is a detached, 300 sqft studio floor-plan structure on the side of our property. You’ll share a driveway with the main house, but the guest cottage & garden are entirely yours to enjoy. There is an outdoor bistro area and guests are encouraged to relax in the garden and utilize the grill that is supplied. The outdoor guest area is entirely fenced in for your privacy, and should you bring your furry friend along for your stay, the guest cottage landscaping has been intentionally designed with pet friendly plants & room for them to explore.

Our guest cottage is stocked with all the essentials: treats, wine, picnic & beach baskets, kitchen & bath supplies, as well as many things travelers often forget (ourselves included LOL). The queen size bed is tastefully appointed with linens from Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, & West Elm.

Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, an outdoorsy adventure, or work, our guest cottage has everything you’ll need while visiting Ocala. We continue to add additional amenities regularly and enjoy updating the décor, bedding, and landscaping with the seasons.

Mini retreat

The place was lovely and a touch of modern and quaint. Confused at directions at first. Walking in fenced yard to enter was called fro t but I thought it would be back. Figuring out his to enter code to enter took help from neighbor. Once entered we were very secure and safe and it was perfectly decorated and comfortable with great technology. I loved the small private fenced yard with table to sit in my pjs early morning. Slept great in bed. Very nice!!!

Best VRBO EVER

What a treat. Very deceiving until you go thru the gate and you find yourself in a very private backyard with a small cottage that lacks nothing. Very charming And whoever got it ready included everything you could want or need

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Grunther

My husband and I bought our home in 2019. We fell in love with the Historic Tuscawilla neighborhood in Ocala. It has been a dream of ours to have a detached guest cottage for friends, family, and visitors. We are happy to invite you to stay with us on your next trip to Ocala.

Why they chose this property

The guest cottage is a detached, 300 sqft studio floor-plan structure on the side of our property. You’ll share a driveway with the main house, but the guest cottage & garden are entirely yours to enjoy. There is an outdoor bistro area and guests are encouraged to relax in the garden and utilize the grill that is supplied. The outdoor guest area is entirely fenced in for your privacy, and should you bring your furry friend along for your stay, the guest cottage landscaping has been intentionally designed with pet friendly plants & room for them to explore.

Our guest cottage is stocked with all the essentials: treats, wine, picnic & beach baskets, kitchen & bath supplies, as well as many things travelers often forget (ourselves included LOL). The queen size bed is tastefully appointed with linens from Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, & West Elm.

Wether you’re here for a romantic weekend, an outdoorsy adventure, or work, our guest cottage has everything you’ll need while visiting Ocala. We continue to add additional amenities regularly and enjoy updating the décor, bedding, and landscaping with the seasons.
