About this property

Warhorse Ranch

Elegant cabin in the woods. 3 story log cabin nestled at the end of a 500 yard driveway through the woods on a hill over looking a beautiful spring fed fishing pond. Enjoy the ambiance of an abundance of wild life from both the front and two raised large back decks. Take advantage of 60 acres of land with 3 ponds. Hike through the woods and open fields. Relish in the tranquility of feeling like you are away from all civilization, but less than a mile from local restaurants, stores, and medical centers.

You are in the country so expect so. You are in the country bugs should be expected. We do have pest control. But it is on acreage. Wasp and spiders do come and go.

We loved the house and grounds. The location was so peaceful and we all found it restful. It was a great location for attending a wedding in Collinsville. The accommodations were well stocked- plenty of towels, kitchen supplies and shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Tranquil Hideaway

The house was very nice and clean. It had everything and more. You can sit by the water and enjoy the nature sounds or snuggle up on the recliner sofa and watch a movie on the giant television with surround sound. My only advise is, if stairs are a problem, this is not your house. Will definitely stay again in the future.

House is very comfortable and kitchen was great for preparing meals. The only challenge was the code not working on the front door. It would take several times to get it to open or lock.

This beautiful house was just perfect! We came to Gainesville to visit Oak Meadow Ranch which was amazing! We loved staying at the house because it was located in the perfect spot, Private and perfect for my family! We loved the pond and the kayaks. Everything about the house was wonderful. The only suggestion would be maybe a Keurig. We would definitely stay at this house again in the future! Thank you!

Refrigerator not working at all. We had lots of perishable foods . When we call to let them know, we were told to pull the refrigerator out of the wall, unplug it then plug it back in. It did work a couple of hours later. Meanwhile, we were afraid it would happen again. Wish it did and we went to Walmart to get a couple of big coolers with ice lucky for us. We did because the refrigerator stopped working on the second day again we put our food in the coolers so we could have unspoiled food

Family Resting Place

From the ease of check-in to sad goodbye, we loved this place! I was looking for a quiet place for my grown children and grandchildren to stay, away from all the excitement of a wedding. Warhorse Ranch was the perfect setting. Quiet mornings for sipping coffee on the porch, and lots of space for everyone to be comfortable. My grandchildren said they would “ love to come back” and that was all this grandma heart needed to hear! Hope to make this a regular family meeting place!

Wedding

We used the location to stage for our son's wedding. We hosted the rehearsal dinner there and the bridesmaids stayed with us Thursday night. The only issue we experienced was the A/C unit downstairs would not turn off. temperatures dropped to low 60's overnight downstairs. Loved the stay and location.
