About the host

Hosted by Patty and Dennis Shannon

Host profile image
We are Patty and Dennis. We are transplants from Fort Lauderdale and we purchased Little Ridge Ranch in January of 2019, totally renovated the entire property, and hosted our first guest in August of that year. We live in Ocala and we are happy to share any information about the local area, attractions, restaurants, etc. with our guests. We are accessible by phone, text of through the VRBO portal anytime. We really enjoy hosting, proud to be Premier Partners with VRBO and also Superhosts on other platform and we have had many happy guests since 2019.

Why they chose this property

There is a lot to do in North Central Florida, Kayaking Rainbow River, Snorkeling at Devil’s Den, Scuba Diving at Blue Grotto, tubing the many springs and rivers, Zip line at The Canyons, Horseback riding, etc. The University of Florida at Gainesville. The major cities of Gainesville and Ocala are close as are the World Equestrian Center, HITS, and much more. (When they say that Marion County is The Horse Capital of the World, they aren’t kidding, most people have no idea how true that is). We have created a custom interactive Google Map with many of the nearby attractions pinpointed so you can click on them for the website, descriptions and contact info. Just ask us and we will be glad to provide.

What makes this property unique

Our guests come from all over and one of the things they say when visiting North Central Florida for the first time is something along the lines of “It’s a whole different world here” and they never knew existed.
