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.

The cottage was comfortable & quiet. The kitchen had all the accessories that we needed & everything was in great shape. The bedding was beautiful & comfortable. The location was minutes from the adorable downtown with great restaurants. It was within good distance from the Equestrian Center. I would stay again if in the area.

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.

Loved the uniqueness of the property. The bathroom could use some kind of shelf, since there was no place for even a toothbrush - but we managed. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to access.
