The house was just as we expected. Beautiful and clean! The host responded in a timely manner. It was the perfect distance from Ocala & Rainbow River. The bed being King size is excellent and then the bunk room is perfect for the kids. There is an office with a pull out couch as well but the bed on it is awful so if you plan on having adults sleep on it maybe bring a mattress pad because it is very uncomfortable. The pull out couch in the living is very comfortable though! All together we had a great stay and will definitely keep this house on our list!

The house was fresh and clean, with ample linens. It was a very remote, quiet, lovely location with limited signal so be prepared to have your route planned prior to arrival (the wi-fi however was exceptional in the house). Note that you will need to supply all kitchen basics (e.g. salt, pepper, napkins, foil/saran), but there are plenty of cooking tools for your stay. Most houses I have stayed in this price point do include these items. The owner was very responsive to any issues that arose.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, found the home fresh and clean, and appreciated our responsiveness throughout your stay. We also appreciate your feedback regarding pantry essentials. We intentionally do not leave food or pantry items in the home to ensure every guest arrives to a clean, fresh, and consistently maintained environment, and we'll certainly keep your suggestion in mind as we continue enhancing the guest experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Igor

Host profile image
Hi! I’m based in South Florida and love spending time with my family, traveling, and discovering beautiful places. Hosting started as a passion project and quickly became something I truly love. I enjoy creating spaces where guests can relax, recharge, and feel at home—whether they’re here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood for its peaceful, spacious setting and unbeatable proximity to Ocala’s top equestrian venues, including the World Equestrian Center. It offers the perfect balance between quiet country living and convenience, with easy access to shopping, dining, and everyday essentials. Guests love the calm atmosphere, open skies, and the ability to truly unwind after a full day of events or exploring the area.

What makes this property unique

What makes Whispering Hooves unique is the combination of thoughtful design, space, and location. The home is styled with a modern equestrian-inspired aesthetic, offering a calm, elevated atmosphere that feels both comfortable and refined. Guests especially appreciate the spacious layout, spa-like primary bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and the large driveway with ample room for trailers and multiple vehicles—something not easily found in the area. All of this, just minutes from the World Equestrian Center, makes it an ideal stay for both relaxation and convenience.
