Discover a private ranch in Florida set on over 10 acres of natural surroundings, reserved exclusively for your group. The property offers open green areas, walking trails, and multiple outdoor gathering spaces designed for relaxing and connecting together. With several cabins and shared outdoor areas, the ranch is ideal for group getaways, family reunions, and private celebrations, offering privacy, flexibility, and a peaceful countryside setting.
The space
The ranch is designed for private group stays and is rented exclusively to one group at a time. It is ideal for family gatherings, group getaways, and private celebrations in a relaxed countryside setting.
When booking, your group has exclusive access to the entire property, including 7 rustic cabins with a total capacity of up to 28 overnight guests, spread across more than 10 acres of natural land.
The property includes private parking, large garden areas, walking trails, picnic spaces, and a designated bonfire area for group gatherings. Indoor and covered spaces include a multi-purpose event room, a game room, and a fully equipped food truck available for on-site cooking.
Recreational areas such as open fields suitable for casual sports and ATVs available on the property may be used in accordance with the property rules and current conditions.
The entire ranch must be rented as a single booking, ensuring full privacy and exclusive use for your group.
Guest access
Optional amenities may be available at an additional cost to enhance your stay, subject to time during the year. These options must be requested in advance and are subject to availability and property rules.
The ranch includes a food truck equipped as a cooking area, along with a gas grill, which guests enjoy using for barbecues or group meals.
Because both the food truck kitchen and grill require extensive cleaning after use, their use is optional and require an additional use fee.
If your group plans to cook during your stay, please let us know in advance so we can prepare the area accordingly.
The ranch is located in a natural countryside setting and is home to local ranch animals, which are part of the surrounding environment only. Animals are not included as organized activities, and occasional newborn animals may be present depending on the season.
The property is rented exclusively to one group at a time, offering a private and secluded atmosphere throughout your stay.
Other things to note
The main entrance to the ranch is located on the south side of the Ocala National Forest. Guests must contact us prior to arrival to receive access instructions and the exact gate location for all vehicles, including RVs.
The nightly rate applies to the exclusive use of the entire ranch and is not charged per cabin. The property is always rented as a single booking for one group only.
Some amenities and optional services not specified on this listing may involve an additional cost and must be requested and arranged in advance, subject to availability and property rules.
