About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to "Golden Ocala" the 'it" destination for equestrians & friends, thrill seekers who kayak, dive, or chase that perfect catch, & sand, sun, and fun chasers of all ages. Our beautiful area is exploding with new residents & possibilities for those who are looking to live or invest here. (And who wouldn't want to live here?! ) Our tropical climate allows us to enjoy all the recreational pleasures our hearts desire, while low cost of living, low taxes, low crime, & Conservative leadership keeps us free to work, learn, & play.
We're on the quiet side of Ocala where you will see why we have the title "Horse Capital of the World." The cottage is nestled in a farm land preservation area surrounded by acres of rolling hills and horse farms. If you are just looking for scenic place to relax, detach, and breathe... our comfy cottage offers that, too.
Heard of the World Equestrian Center? Even if you are not a "horse person" this spectacular venue is something to behold, and now welcomes international guests to our area for world class competitions. It's just 15 minutes away. Rainbow River is 25 minutes south and offers some of the most scenic kayaking and canoeing you've ever experienced. Gainesville is just a little north, with the youthful nightlife and vibe one would expect of a college town (GO Gators!) yet abundant with the arts. Ready to beach it? Orlando, St. Augustine, & Jacksonville offer beautiful white sands and incredible seafood choices. Or head south to the nightlife & Cuban Cuisine hotspot of Tampa, where you can also catch a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game with the GOAT-Tom Brady & Gronk as our newest Bucs.
Fishing? Oh my....take your pick of hundreds of stocked lakes with record setting trophy fish, or head out to sea for the once-in-a lifetime thrill of landing a saltwater behemoth with one of the areas fishing charters. Oct-March, you can charter with a local captain to swim with the manatees as they drift into the warm waters of Crystal River. Local favorites Kanapa Botanical Gardens, Devil's Den, the Blue Grotto, and miles of scenic trails for walking & birdwatching are all nearby.
Whatever your jam...you'll find it here. Welcome, and enjoy your stay!

Peaceful and full of nature

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was a quiet place for an evening dinner on the porch watching the owls play and the horses say hello.

Highly recommended!

Spacious, quiet, and very comfortable cottage. I stayed for 4 weeks while horse showing at HITS and it couldn’t have been more convenient or relaxing after a long day of showing and working. Also very close to WEC! AJ and Rafael were attentive hosts yet very unobtrusive. Waking up to their horses in the morning was an extra treat. I definitely plan to stay again next year!

AJ and Rafael were incredibly accommodating - providing the little touches to make you feel welcome. Having your own cottage set aside from the main house was wonderful and watching the horses in the morning was an additional treat!
