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.

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!

Unkept

Property was over grown and house was dirty. Pots and pans were peeling and rusted. Owner acted as if we were some spoiled children when I told her we had to clean and found a dirty wash rag hanging on the shower Rod. The stairs were unsafe and sinking into the ground. I DO NOT RECOMMEND

You get what you pay for.

Over all this property was a good stay for the price we paid. It was located right by rainbow river and KP Hole Park. Walmart was just a few minutes down the road. The outdoor shower is a super cute idea. They’ve got lots of board games and movies. The place has the potential to be GREAT! It for sure needs some upkeep though. Hardly anything was actually clean. None of the pots and pans were clean, bathroom was still dirty with hair in it. Fridge and freezer could have been wiped out. And the coffee pot had old moldy Coffee in it. It was pretty bad. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and the bed frames (other than the bunk bed) felt like they would fall apart if we moved to much lol. We killed about 10 roaches as well but for the price we paid we really weren't upset about it. They have Wi-Fi but don’t count on using it, it won’t work. I didn’t mind too much about the Wi-Fi but we had no service in our phones either so it was hard to use GPS. Overall, I think they just need a new house keeper. I’d stay here again.

Ridiculous.

Check in was ridiculous, the property was not ready at 3 and the host gave us an attitude about it. She was supposedly 15 minutes late because she was cleaning. The place Smelled like a kennel when we walked in. There were dead bugs on the floor. All of the smoke detectors were popped open to stop them from beeping for batteries. There was no handsoap and only a tiny bit of watered down dish soap. All of the rooms are small and the closets and drawers were packed full so there was hardly a spot for your luggage. Only one of the three tvs in the house worked. There were no top sheets on any of the beds. The yard was full of dog poop. And finally, on the first morning there, a roach ran across the counter while I was brewing coffee.
