Loved it, great place to just relax and have family time. Plenty of room and plenty of fun. The dogs loved the big backyard, the kids loved the pool and game room. I loved the screened in sun room with tv.
Just like the photos. VERY clean, beds were comfy. I loved sitting on the back porch watching football with the family. 7 of us stayed, 4 adults and 3 teen boys, having 2 kings and 3 twins was perfect. Rooms were big, could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you!
Thank you for a lovely house to stay at!! It made our week full of swim competition relaxed and enjoyable!!
We appreciated the super clean house!!!
We loved the house and the location. We will definitely stay there again if it is available.
Thank you 😎.
We booked before any hurricanes and stayed during Milton and power outage occurred for maybe six hours while sleeping. The stay was very pleasant and wonderful for my family. We enjoyed pool time swimming to pool time in the game room. Wonderful and nice flow through home setup. We would definitely stay again.
We loved the home! Very clean, exactly as advertised, maybe even better. Incredible back yard. Set up for pets although we didn’t bring ours. Everything provided that we needed. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
My daughter was getting married that weekend and we needed a bigger place for the siblings to stay during the wedding festivities. We could not have asked for a nice place. The home was very clean and appropriately appointed. The host was outstanding in providing all the information everyone needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Do not hesitate to stay at this property.
This property was exactly as described and as seen in the photos. The host couldn't have thought of anything else to make our stay more enjoyable. Our dog absolutely loved the huge fenced in backyard. Although, it was just me, my husband and our dog, this house is perfect for a large family. We will be back when in the area.
This was the most relaxing staycation I’ve had.My family and pups enjoyed every moment .As I was driving away on my last day I already was missing Henry’s Hideout .Mary was a great communicator and amazing host . We truly appreciate letting us stay in this lovely home .
Every single detail was taken into consideration even doggy bowls and doggy towels .
Thank you
We had another return visit to the area and of course we chose Henry’s. We love the central location in Ocala while visiting family and friends. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. The backyard is huge with the pool, the available grill to cook on, and the fire pit to enjoy a nice fire at night. Let’s not forget the playroom with the pool table. Great place, perfect location from town or the villages will return again soon. Perfect place if you have pets or kids or both.
Stayed with wife and friends and our doggies. Everything about the property is wonderful and as advertised. We will be booking here again for our next trip to Ocala, Fl for sure!!
We traveled with toddlers and they had the best time swimming in the pool, running in the backyard, and playing in the game room. The house was set up perfectly for a family getaway. We have listed the house as on of our favorites and we hope to be back in the future. We highly recommend Henry’s Hideaway!
Had such a great time!! Very nice and peaceful place to stay!! The Family enjoyed the pool and game room!! Very convenient location to everything we wanted to do and see. Mary was a great host!!
The accommodations were perfect for our family. This place had everything we needed
For our stay. If our grandson makes the playoffs again next year we will definitely be trying to rent this property again. Thank you Mary.
The only issues we had was staining on the bedding upon arrival and internet connection issues for duration of our stay. Aside from that it was a wonderful experience and we would stay again.
Property was unbelievably clean and we had such a fun stay! Quick drive to WEC and close to grocery store. Thank you so much! We would definitely stay again :)
