Tranquil outdoor paradise in the Ocala National Forest

I loved being out in the Ocala National Forest area yet being within a neighborhood. The location was nice. What was a bad experience was the roads getting to the house. One road is 100% unusable and the other is very bad. You almost need a truck or higher vehicle to access the house. While this is in no way the owners fault, it needs to be known that it is a risk for low level vehicles.

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give because this place and its host deserve it! This was truly the best vacation our family has had. The cabin was warm and inviting so it immediately felt like home. The location was perfect for the “get away from it all” feeling and close to all of the outdoor activities and trails that our family enjoys. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors are friendly. The host was more than accommodating, always quick to respond and provided a clean, well stocked and beautiful home for us to stay in. The only negative thing about our trip is that it came to an end. I highly recommend booking this stay!

Very pretty area, neighborhood was quiet and relaxing, cabin was comfortable and well-equipped

We absolutely loved the screen-in porch—spent almost all of our time out there. Some new chair pads would be good, but there are lots of chairs and a table and we watched the wild turkeys stroll by.

Nice cabin but can use some updates.

Awesome, the cabin, deck and nature at its finest.

The cabin is roomy and cozy. It has all the amenities you would need to be comfortable in your stay. A perfect getaway from the city hustle. Our family had a great time. We played outdoors with the kids in shaded areas under the trees, went on small trails, enjoyed the board games, cooked and simply chilled in the covered porch watching turkeys run by and simply listening to the sounds of nature. The host is very responsive and replied to all our questions within a minute. She even arranged for a plumber within an hour to fix a small leak in the kitchen. Internet was excellent and TV is a smartTV so you could watch Netflix, etc. Closest gas station, grocery store and restaurants are 20 mins away. Salt springs, silver springs, farm visits, ATV rentals, nature trails and fishing are some outdoor options. Some constructive feedback - House is slightly off the main road (which is good) but access road to the house is country. So a SUV or truck is better suited for a small rough patch. Read and follow the host’s instructions to get there very carefully else you will get lost like us the first time. The cushions on the porch furniture and sofa needs replacement.

It was a good week at the cabin. Everything was clean and the place is beautiful. If you want to be off the beaten path, this is the place for you. But plan on some extra driving if you plan to go anywhere as this property is quite remote and the access road to the cabin is a fairly rough and hilly sand road but our minivan made it ok. But if you want a secluded, beautiful place, this is a good one!

Had an awesome time at the cabin.It was clean,quiet and very comfortable. The only was amazing and understanding when talking to her.Will be back hopefully in the spring. Dave Brown

We had a fun time at the cabin. The air conditioning and wifi worked great.The only complaint was the furniture was in bad shape and needs replacing.

Location was awesome. Very peaceful and love watching the turkeys in the morning. Only issue was driveway as we always bring our boat and it was a bit of a trick getting in and out.
