An outstanding experience. One of the best!

This was one of the best Air B&B type accommodations I have ever stayed at. I stayed here with my husband and our dogs. The place was beautiful. The beds were soft and comfortable. They provided water bottles and farm fresh eggs (!) from their chickens in the fridge. The common areas are spacious. There's a gym, an office, a piano room. Everything is clean and labeled. It was even decorated for the holidays! The hosts really thought about what we would need and how to make us comfortable. Check in was easy and check out procedures were minimal. The area around the hotel is nice. There are places to walk and many of the buildings are cute looking. You're not far from stores & restaurants downtown. Something important to know before staying is that the home is at the top of a steep flight of steps. Being that it's a historic building, there's no elevator. You'll have to get your luggage up the steps so keep that in mind. The stairs would be a challenging climb for anyone with mobility issues. It's also not ideal for young kids. None of those were a factor for us, so we had a fantastic stay. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Great Stay!

We loved the charming historic feel. Great location. Host was most accommodating with lots of special personal touches. Definitely worth the money. Please note it does have steep steps but we all did fine

About the host

Hosted by Jill

In 2019 I purchased the Historic Kemp house in downtown Ocala. After months of renovation, I opened it up for guests to enjoy. I have been in the rental industry for years, and always look to have happy guests. Thank you for considering the property.

Why they chose this property

The historic district is full of charm and character. I love to walk a few minutes downtown to eat at the wonderful restaurants, shop in the boutiques and listen to live music. The architecture of each home is completely different than the next making for an interesting eclectic collection of homes.

What makes this property unique

The suite is a great value located in a great downtown historic neighborhood. Guests have private parking, beautiful kitchen, two bedrooms, a private gym, office/music room, bathroom, and a large living room.
