Welcome to Rock Haven Farm with our granddaddy oak tree canopied driveway that will stun you. Enjoy the stunning views over our 60-acre horse farm. A quite and tranquil setting, yet just minutes from an I-75 interchange. Located halfway between Ocala and Gainesville, and 90 minutes north of Orlando.

Love animals? We have grandkids so we have animals! ;) Come visit and interact with all our adorable small animals. We have goats, mini donkeys, belted galloway (oreo) cows, and alpacas. And of course since we are a horse farm, we have horses who love carrots and apples. We do not offer horseback riding, but we can point you in the right direction if that is your interest.

Three night minimum stay.

***NON-SMOKING***
No smoking allowed inside the house, you are welcome to smoke outside, but no cigarette butts on ground. No beer bottle caps on ground either.

Pets are welcome, we love pets! ~~~Pets are allowed with a $15 per night pet fee per pet. Sorry, no rottweilers, pit bulls, Dobermans or aggressive dogs.~~~ ***ATTENTION***If you bring a pet, please bring your own food and water dish. DO NOT use the kitchen dishes for pet bowls. If you do not bring pet bowls, the Dollar Tree is 10-12 minutes away, please make a trip and spend $2.00. If you use the kitchen dishes or bowls, you will be charged $75.00 to replace the whole set. Also, bring your own pet furniture covering if you are going to let your pet on the furniture. If you let your pet on the furniture without protecting it with your own pet coverings, you will be charged an extra cleaning fee of $275.00. When you leave, if we find pet hair on the furniture, we will take pictures of the pet hair on the furniture and send them to you along with notice that we are charging to have a professional shampooing of the furniture. Also, if your pet sleeps with you, bring your own bedding. If you let your pet on our bedding (sheets, comforter, pillows), you will be charged $225.00 to cover the cost of new bedding. Our cleaning company refuses to pick pet hair out of the bedding as it takes hours, so our only choice is to dispose of it.

A LEASE AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY FORM IS REQUIRED.
