About the host
Hosted by Cindy Tkaczuk
I’m Cindy! My husband and I are commercial horse transporters and we travel the entire country delivering horses, and other four legged pets, to their new homes. We love exploring this beautiful country and meeting new people.
Why they chose this property
We spend quite a bit of time in Florida for work and absolutely love the Ocala area. We decided to purchase a house there so we would have a landing zone for our down time. When we aren’t in town we love sharing it with others. We put quite a bit of love and effort into preparing it for our guests. We hope you will enjoy your stay!
What makes this property unique
We tried to think of everything! The house is very well equipped with just about anything you may need! Everything in the house is high quality and brand new. We want to you to relax during your vacation and not have to worry. Stay and enjoy!!!!
