A peaceful retreat
My friend and I stayed for a week - exactly what we needed. The evening sunset capped off a day poolside. Ann and Max are great hosts. I highly recommend a stay here for rest, relaxation, and peace. I will definitely stay again.

Quiet, Clean, Friendly
It was a nice, quiet stay (I've never heard any sirens, so what a relief). The owners were very friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of safe roads to walk by: horse farms/ranches for a nice long walk. Neighbors are also very friendly. The pool is private, and the temperature is tolerable in March and likely perfect in April. It's about 40 minutes from Catus Joe's horse riding and worth the trip.... Hiking trails are nearby at the State parks.... as well as canoeing and kayaking. I'm coming back!!!

Nice relaxing Stay in Ocala
The property is a pool-side home with just room for two people. The bedroom was upstairs via a spiral staircase and downstairs was a bathroom and a large living area including kitchen space. All walls were door walls so great views on all sides (and curtains for privacy). Was dog friendly and our dog enjoyed herself ;) Property manager was very helpful (e.g. offered us an additional heater when weather became unusually cold for the area). They were very nice people and respected our privacy.

Cute cottage with a pool
I wish I had been able to use the pool but it was just a little too chilly in December. The cottage is oozing with personality. Lots of color and light. Great spot off the back for my pup. Great communication when unneeded anything. We had a wonderful stay.

Silver Springs
We wanted to check out Silver Springs and that’s what led us to this cute place. It’s Guest house with a pool behind the main house, but it’s a very quiet and beautiful neighborhood. House is well kept and has everything you need for a nice weekend.
We enjoyed walking our dogs around and Silver Springs definitely lived up to the hype.

Mother and daughter get-away
The cottage stay was exactly as we'd hoped. It was delightfully relaxing to say the least. My daughter and I enjoyed slow country mornings drinking our coffees and watching the horses as they grazed nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed the private pool for lounging and reading after kayaking The Canyons and Silver Springs and after horseback riding with Cactus Jack's. I highly recommend this property for a stress-free vacation. Would love to come back!

Paradise
This property was absolutely magnificent! It is absolutely perfect for two people. My husband and I stayed here with our two golden doodles. The dogs were also in heaven there are so many walking trails throughout the property and in the area. Every morning we would wake up and the dogs would be so excited to go outside. They have a beautiful fenced in area in the front of the cottage where the pool is located and also in the back of the cottage. The pool was definitely my favorite part. It's literally right when you walk out your door. We spent a lot of time just relaxing at the cottage they have a gas grill for you to cook out on which was definitely another favorite. The area this is located in is spectacular it's located in an area with a ton of gorgeous horse farms. This Cottage is located further back on the property and completely private. The owners were so kind and helpful but also did not invade our space at all. There are lots of things to do close by Silver Springs I think was only about 20 minutes away downtown Ocala only about 15 minutes away. This was an absolute perfect area to stay in away from the hustle and bustle. Don't hesitate to book this lovely place we will definitely be back again we really enjoyed our stay immensely I can't say enough good things about it
