The Ultimate Remote Getaway
Everything about this property was perfect for us. Access to the ONF trails run alongside the property made for a stress-free departure of ATV's. The property is so peaceful and quiet that it was hard to get up in the morning. The beds were amazing, and the cabin was set up just right. The kitchen was stocked perfectly, not a lot of everything as was in our last stay at another property the weekend prior. We will definitely be booking there again. Thank you, Diana and Harvey.

Perfect rental in Ocala National Forest
My husband and I stayed two nights celebrating our 20th Anniversary and enjoyed this great rental. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. It’s remote so we brought food to cook and had no trouble finding pots, pans, skillets and utensils we needed. The kitchen is well stocked and the fridge kept my beer good and cold. The shower had good water pressure and hot water. There was more than enough towels for bathroom and kitchen. We rode our side by side to several fishing spots and caught bait and a few good bass. The owner is very friendly and quick to respond to all my questions. The porch is a great place to hang out, play ping pong and darts. It’s a great place and we plan to go back.

We enjoyed staying here. Everything we needed was there. For us trail riding is something we enjoy so this location was perfect. Would stay here again. And being able to bring my little side kick , my 12lb dashhound, was a plus. The owners were always available. Thank you!

Tucked Away in the Forest
Secluded and very well equipped. Diane and Harvey have thought of everything. The kitchen is well supplied with everything except food and a chef. The beds were very comfortable with soft linens and comfortable pillows. Cleanliness was stellar. You could eat off the floor anywhere under the roof including the screened porch. Saw both gopher tortoises that have made this property their home. Was a wonderful getaway with no disappointments. The family loved it.
