10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Second time staying! Enjoyed it as much as the first!! Host was extremely helpful.Got in late in the evening, asked if he could turn on porch light for our arrival. With no hesitation he took care of it. During the rain it was enjoyed while sitting on the front porch. We don’t get much rain in California so it was a treat watching it come down. The house is just what we needed, basically “home away from home”. The house is centrally located to Ocala and Gainesville. I would recommend this home to anyone asking! If I was asked, “is there anything we can do to make your next stay or that of another guest”. The only thing I would say (and this is being very picky) is maybe upgrade the toilet to not be so low to the ground. Again, thank you for such a lovely place!!!WE WILL BE BACK!

We have stayed here twice. Once during Christmas and 2 weeks ago for our Florida Springs vacation. This is such a gorgeous neighborhood. The cottage itself is a charming old house refurbished yet maintains the Old Florida vibe. Orange Lake is at the end of the road. Irises and Sand Hill cranes freely walk through the yards with lush vegetation, heritage oaks and Spanish Moss and turn of he Century homes and churches. Central to everywhere we planned to visit...My sisters horse farm in Williston, UF Museum of Natural History in Gainesville, Rainbow Springs, Silver Springs and much more. Best vacation I've had in a long time. Will be returning again and again. Owners are great too!
