Welcome to the Dark Horse Suite, the perfect retreat in the charming Tuscawilla historic district of Downtown Ocala. Situated in a historic 1908 home that has been our labor of love, this private guest suite offers a delightful blend of comfort and style. Located only 15 minutes to WEC, and a short four-minute walk to downtown Ocala, the Dark Horse Suite is located exactly where you want to be when visiting Ocala.

The space
As you enter through your own private entrance, you'll be greeted by an open and inviting layout. The suite boasts a beautiful queen-size bed, a cozy bistro dining set, and a dedicated workspace, allowing you to unwind, dine, or catch up on work in comfort. The thoughtfully designed kitchenette is equipped with high-end SMEG appliances, including a large mini-refrigerator, a Breville oven, airfryer, and microwave combo, as well as a Nespresso machine for your morning espresso fix.

Your stay at the Dark Horse Suite includes a private bathroom and laundry facilities with a stackable washer and dryer, making it suitable for both quick weekend getaways or extended holidays. The space is adorned with carefully curated antiques and local artwork, reflecting our personal style and admiration for Ocala's vibrant culture.

While the suite has long been cherished by our family and friends, we're excited to share this hidden gem with adventurous travelers like yourself. You'll have the convenience of one off-street parking pad, ensuring a stress-free arrival. Plus, with the historic downtown square just a four-minute walk away, you'll find yourself in close proximity to an array of shopping, dining, and nightlife options.

Equestrian visitors will love the Dark Horse Suite's convenient location, as it is only 15 minutes from the new World Equestrian Center and 25 minutes from HITS. Whether you're here to explore the city's rich history, attend equestrian events, or simply indulge in a relaxing getaway, the Dark Horse Suite is the perfect base for your Ocala experience.

We always go the extra mile to make your stay with us exceptional! That's why we've partnered with KarinD Shops 4 Me to offer a personalized touch. We can have everything ready for you even before you arrive, whether it's groceries, beach supplies, or any anything in between.

The Dark Horse Suite is attached to our home, but features its own private entrance. There is a locked door on both sides between the main house and the guest suite for privacy. Please be respectful of our home and the other guests enjoying their visit in our guest cottage on our property.
