The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. The property and properties around are beautiful horse farms. The cottage was very cute and unique. The giant live oak next to cottage is breathtaking. We had a lovely time outside by the pool and taking a walk along the horse farms. Horses were gorgeous and follows us along on their side of fence. They were so interested in our little dog. She wasn't too sure about those big things. It was a nice mini adventure !

Best vacation ever! Everything was outstanding! Our hosts were so welcoming, felt like being home. The environment is so relaxing. Our home away from home had everything you needed and then some…just in case you forget something, it is probably there. Loved visiting with the horses and other critters. There is plenty to do and see in the surrounding area, plus lots of restaurants. Would not hesitate to come back…and hope to see you again!!

I have had the pleasure of staying at this cottage whenever I've visited Ocala for years now. It and the lovely hosts is my go-to. My mini-Aussie, Ruby loves it here too and is always intrigued by the horses. Why stay anywhere else?

We had an enjoyable stay over the last eight days. The weather was colder than expected, with nighttime temperatures dropping into the 20s, and the loft area was the warmest space in the house. Because of the cold weather, we weren’t able to use the pool, but the property itself was in very good shape.I especially loved the animals on the property. There were six horses and one miniature horse, all very friendly. We were able to pet them and feed them carrots and apples, which I really enjoyed. I also enjoyed watching how the horses are harnessed for a show — it was fascinating to see.There were also two dogs, Captain and Lady, who were very friendly and even looked for me through the fence one day, which was really sweet. In addition, there was a barn cat, a rooster, a hen, and several peacocks.Overall, the stay was peaceful and relaxing. We truly enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and hospitality and would definitely return again.

This is our second stay and each time has been amazing. Surrounded by beautiful pastures and friendly horses, grilling in the evenings and mimosas by the pool in the morning, we had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Can’t wait to come back.

Horse lovers place

This property was exactly as it was listed. The pool was awesome and the sounds of the animals on the property were fun to listen to the rooster, the peacocks and of course the snorting of the horses. The hosts Max and Ann were awesome and super nice people totally enjoyed our stay if we visit Ocala again we will surely stay here again.
