We stayed here 3 weeks ago on our way thru traveling to a job and came back on our way home. Much better than a hotel stay. Keep up with the at home feeling, cleanliness and pricing. It all matters.

Finally Rest
Such a beautiful property with cute apartments (they use to be artists galleries) The owners were wonderful and gave us all the information before we got there during our stressful drive from escaping the hurricane. Could not of asked for a better place to stay. We love you so much. We’re going back in two weeks for my husband’s birthday so we can take the glass bottom boat tour and explore the town of Ocala more. We were only a few blocks from downtown. We ate at bricks, which was exceptionally good. We’re going to try a couple more restaurants in the next few weeks when we return. If you want a great place to stay in Ocala, this is it and book early because I think they fill up pretty quickly.

Perfect getaway
I booked this for my wife and I while our son was at a nearby summer camp. The accommodations were perfect for us. The kitchen was clean and modern and the bathroom was very clean. The bed was comfortable and the apartment was very quiet. We will return to this location and stay with them again in the future as it's only about 1.5 hours from us. Also, it's walking distance to a quaint downtown square where there were a few good restaurants.

Good overall.
Convenient, attractive downtown location for walking. The bed was comfortable and the shower was fantastic. The floodlights were annoying. The rooms were broken up in an awkward manner. The furniture was totally wrong for us seniors: high table and chairs, a sofa that put us so far down that it was nearly impossible to get up. The "smart" television was too tricky to navigate. All we needed were the basic channels.

Perfection! My 13 and 14 year olds and myself stayed for 4 nights. Loved the neighborhood. The adorable cottage is immaculate, spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. Our lovely host Jill was so helpful and responded to my questions promptly. Perfect location for us to visit Ocala National Forest and swim in the beautiful springs. Definitely would love to stay again!
