Majestic Meadows was the perfect place for my family to stay for my daughter’s wedding at Andalusian Oaks. Everyone loved the quiet beauty it offers. Rich was an amazing host and added some unexpected details like supplies for s’mores at the fire pit and various other personal touches. The screened in porch was awesome! We spent a lot of time out there enjoying the weather and family time. I highly recommend this beautiful property!
This property is amazing. The home is spacious and comfortable. It is pet friendly and we enjoyed sitting out on the back deck enjoying the beautiful view of open farmland, watching the cows, and listening to the sounds of nature. The owner is friendly and very hospitable. This is definetly a special and one of a kind place to stay.

About the host
Hosted by Rich Mistkowski
My name is Rich Mistkowski. I am the owner & host of Majestic Meadows, along w/ my son Mattie (20). Mattie was born w/ down syndrome, but he has incredible hospitality skills, so he helps me. We both love sharing this beautiful property w/ our guests.
We have 3 goals for our guests 1) We want you to have an incredible experience 2) We want you to love it so much you come back 3) We want you to love it so much you tall all your friends.
Why they chose this property
I didn't choose the neighborhood. It "kind of" chose me. I live in NJ. Majestic Meadows was my dad's property. After he passed, I realized how beautiful the Ocala area is and I wanted to share it with guests. One of things you'll notice on the way into Majestic Meadows is the canopy from the incredible Live Oak trees along the road. The trees are huge and are absolutely beautiful. It provides the perfect setting for your arrival to a very special property.
What makes this property unique
There are so many reasons why I love this property. But if I had to sum it up, I would say the peacefulness. Once you're on the property, just stop and take it all in. Notice the gentle continuous breeze, the quietness, the cattle might be in the pastures. You might be awake for some incredible sunrises. Or you might be there for a thunderstorm. Or you might be there for a full moon and sky filled with stars. There is no shortage of reasons as to why this is a special property. Whatever it is, please close your eyes, take a deep breath and just take it all in. You'll find the calm that many of our guests experience!
