We loved this place. The attention to detail meant to welcome you was outstanding. Little things...amazingly scented body products, a snack basket, mini binoculars, many books about the region like "Haunted Ocala Forest". Not just thinking about coming back, but moving in.And there is a lot to do in the area. We only had a couple of days but could easily spend a week here exploring the forest and waterways.

This place was absolutely delightful! The beds were comfortable, the game room was fun, and the Spanish moss and string lights made the back yard magical. Everything seems new and the home was very clean. It felt private even though there are houses nearby. The extra touches (snacks, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, supplies in the kitchen/laundry room) were noticed. I highly recommend!

Everything about this property exceeded our expectations. Our stay was short this time but we will certainly stay here again when we are in the area visiting family.There is much to explore in the Ocala National Forest area and this is a perfect home base. The host provided many informative books and brochures about the area. Don't hesitate to book this lovely home for your own nature adventures.

The property was very comfortably furnished. I loved the local color, photos, memoribilia and local books. There were plenty of games and puzzles for when it was too hot to be outside and a beautiful porch and back yard when it was pleasant. The yard was fenced in with the back yard partitioned from the front. The dogs could explore and move around without being near the street— very dog friendly! I enjoyed the back yard hammocks while the dogs played. The kitchen was well appointed and everything was very clean. There were charging ports in the bedrooms and living spaces and good internet. We were very pleased and hope to return.
