Quaint but inadequate
Nicely decorated, beautiful new shower but not conveniently located to a bedroom. The best bed in the house is a double with a tiny bathroom. The middle bed is awfully uncomfortable. No way 8 people could stay here. The patio is a joke the only coffee maker is a Keurig & there are no ice trays — no ice maker either. The new managers are very helpful and eager to please!

Dunnellon home
This looks like a DIY project. There are no dressers in the bedrooms and the closets were packed with “stuff” that made it hard to use them. The front and side doors are not square so there are large gaps. The location was good. Dunnellon has some good restaurants and great places to walk.

WEC Ocala Horse Show 2024
What a comfortable and inviting place to come home to after a day of horse showing at WEC Ocala. Only 20 minutes away, giving us the distance we needed to "get away" from "all things horses" but close enough for the early morning drive to get there. The people in town are beyond friendly. Shops are super cute. Rainbow Springs nearby was a great afternoon getaway for some refreshing swimming and beautiful walks among the little water falls. The home itself was cute, clean and comfortable. We will plan to stay again next year.

Family vacation to watch the Holiday Horse show at WEC and ride bikes.
We loved the location and proximity to shops, restaurants, the World Equestrian Center, and bike trails. Wish we were able to stay longer and walk around all the shops. The house is great and had been mostly updated but it does needs is more places to hang things. I would suggest bringing over the door hangers with you.

Girls Weekend
The house is adorable! It was bigger and more spacious than expected which was a nice surprise. All of the rooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. The fridge is smaller than a standard size and doesnt have an ice maker but it was big enough for us to put a bag of ice in. The lounges in the main living space were very cozy but a tight fit for a full house. The tv is guest friendly so we were easily able to log into streaming services. All of the light and fan remotes were labeled, which was very helpful. I would definitely recommend and would stay again! Thanks!

Cute place to stay!
The place was clean and decorated very cute. Well stocked. Good communication by management. Only downside was that one of the king beds, which actually seemed to be a trundle bed (2 twins together as a king) had a big dip in the bed, and was rather uncomfortable to sleep on. The other 2 beds were comfy though.
