We stayed here previously a few years ago so we knew what to expect. We like the fact that there's no neighbors near us and a very quiet neighborhood. One thing we would suggest is provide more cooking pans and microwavable bowls, etc. Other than that, we have no complaints.

great location, love the property

Stayed at this property on a tubing trip with a few friends for my husbands birthday. The place was perfect, accommodations were clean, convenient to tubing and about 25 minutes to downtown ocala. The firepit and grill were convenient to have also. Great getaway from the city. Would stay here again.

There was a noticeable smell of stale cigarette smoke inside the trailer, thankfully it wasn't too overwhelming. We noticed some old lunch meat in the fridge, making us wonder how well they had cleaned the place. Very oddly there weren't sheets on the beds, but there was an entire dresser full of sheets that we put on the beds ourselves. Also we arrived around 1:30am after driving in and the sprinklers were blasting directly onto the lock box and the front porch, not exactly the welcome we were looking for. But, it was pet friendly and affordable, so all in all it was Ok for us.

A Peaceful, Nostalgic Country Escape

If you’re looking for a place that takes you back to simpler times, this is it! Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of city life, we could hear the bugs chirping at night and see every star in the sky—just like a visit to Grandma's house. This country girl felt right at home, surrounded by all the rustic charm I remember from childhood. The peace and quiet were exactly what we needed, offering a perfect escape to recharge. While the house has that lived-in, homey feel, it’s the privacy and serenity that truly steal the show. If you’re after a tucked-away retreat, this place is for you.

Exactly as advertised

We had a group scuba diving rainbow river and devils den. This was a very affordable and close option. The futon was honestly the only downside. Both beds were memory foam and comfortable. We decided to sleep on the couch instead of the futon and it was fine. The Keurig worked so i was happy. You can tell they are trying to fix up the place and make improvements. The owner was very prompt to communicate and it's exactly like the pictures. We enjoyed our stay and loved the diving. Would recommend.

Great place...quiet and clean

Great place...just as advertised.. Would definitely stay there again. It was in the middle of everything which was nice. there are a few items that would make it even better.. I would suggest that you invest in a TV antenna (from Walmart or Amazon) so your guests can at least watch local channels. We're not movie people and if someone that's staying there doesn't have a netflix or hulu account, it doesn't do much good. Also, you might want to get some new cookware (the teflon coverage is flaking off when you use it) and maybe a small pyrex casserole dish for the microwave. Other than that, having the washer/dryer there was awesome and you had plenty of towels and bedding.. Thank you for a great vacation!

Dad's 80th

We loved it! So AFFORDABLE...AND ... It had the 3 "C"s....Clean, Comfortable, Convenient! We were in the area visiting for our fathers 80th birthday. It was perfect. Spacious enough for 6 adults to sleep and eat comfortably. We had family from the area over and entertained outside around the fire pit and on the deck. This place is furnished with almost everything....including privacy. It's also just a few miles away from shopping, dining, and more. It will be our new home away from home whenever we come back to the area. We have stayed at several places in the area and this tops them all. Beats a hotel everytime! Thanks for sharing it with us. We will be back!
