Super cute amd cozy historic house in amazing historic neighborhood. Everyone raves about the stay. Kitchen was furnished, plenty of sheets, soap, shampoo etc. towels and blankets. We were a family of 4 female relatives and it was the perfect size for a long weekend. It was very quiet and safe and bonus - we loved saying hello to the neighbors sweet kitty 🖤

We loved the location and the charm of the cottage. The neighborhood is quiet and this is something that we appreciated. In addition, the bedrooms have blackout drapes and that makes for a good nights sleep.Definitely would stay here again. The responsiveness of the owners was fantastic. When we arrived, the AC was not generating cold air. A quick text with Chris, and within an hour a tech was there fixing it while we were at dinner. We came back to a totally chill environment.

This cozy Ocala cottage was in the heart of the historic district and was full of charm. It was beautifully decorated, the amenities were exceptional, and immaculately clean! The host was so easy to work with, and made my stay extra great. An added benefit was the super comfy bed!

Nicely appointed, clean accommodations in quiet neighborhood. We appreciated the availability of plentiful towels and washcloths as we stayed for 11 nights and didn’t have time to frequently do laundry. We did need to purchase our own body wash as the existing container was nearly empty and no bar soap was stocked (only hand soap for sinks). Beds were comfortable and we also appreciated the blackout curtains to block neighbors’ bright flood lights. Would stay here again for future trips to Ocala.
