Farmstay vacation rentals in Marion County

Loves staying at the ranch, the staff was fantastic, as a person who grew up with horses waking up to horse hoofs at feeding time (horse a clock!) felt so nice. I was also so impressed with the care and organization of the farm, you can tell that this ranch is the top of the top! Lot’s of care and nice people. Appreciated Frank’s patience in my eagerness to meet all horses and hear about the ranch’s history. Everyone was nice and attentive, easy to find, easy to access and check in and out. The surrounding farms are fantastic and the springs of course!

Griffin Ranch is delightful. Everything is vintage so don't expect the Hilton. The vintage feel makes the ranch peaceful and easy to claim as your home while you're on the road. Hosts Carl and Terry are simply wonderful folks and offer their assistance to ensure your stay is pleasurable. The grounds include vintage cabins and friendly horses and cats to greet you! I will surely return as a guest when I visit the Ocala area again! Thank you!!

We had such a wonderful 5 day stay at this lovely cabin! From the moment we arrived we could tell Nancy put so much care into making this a special getaway. The cabin itself was cozy clean and with everything we could possibly need. One of the highlights was the peaceful lake, perfect for fishing and just soaking in the serenity of nature. Our kids absolutely loved feeding the squirrels, birds, and fish with the food she thoughtfully left for them. It was such a sweet touch and made their experience even more magical.she went above and beyond by leaving a basket of snacks for us which she didn’t have to do but it was so appreciated! Nancy left us s’mores which the kids really appreciated. She even provided toothbrushes and other essentials, making sure we had everything we could possibly need. It was so nice to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and just enjoy the quiet, peaceful surroundings. We also loved exploring the nearby springs, which were absolutely breathtaking

We had an amazing time for our company annual celebration! It was the perfect venue to get all of our staff and "plus ones" together for fun and a mix of activities and relaxation. I'd recommend the property to anyone looking for a great space to enjoy your group's company. And Brantley was very helpful and friendly! Thank you!!

This was my second time staying with James on the ranch while diving the local springs both times have been nice, quiet, peaceful, Easy check in, and private. it is definitely on my list of places to stay whenever I'm traveling in and around the Ocala area

Thank you so much for letting us stay unfortunately because of the storm we couldn’t be in the pool like we wanted but that wasn’t your fault! Everything else was awesome she’s a great host and will most definitely stay here again!

Absolutely love the place. The host are the best. Love the fresh eggs and watching the chickens back to nature, but only 20 minutes to the city. If I needed something, I was only a couple of miles from this town of Fort McCoy a couple of stores and a good pizza place. Downtown Ocala was only 25 minutes away. Would definitely stay there again!!

Always very helpful the accommodations are tremendous very quiet and peaceful Always enjoy my stay Highly recommend

We loved staying at Blue Sky Farms! The space was cozy and relaxing. The kitchen was stocked with just about everything you could need! We all enjoyed relaxing and eating by the pool. The beds were all very comfortable and there were plenty of towels for everyone to use. The fenced in yard was great for kids and felt very safe. We would definitely stay again!

We had the best experience! We arrived after dark the first day and was immediately greeted by the sweet dog Athena who met us at the gate and showed us back to the house. After settling in we went outside and were greeted by a pony and a large horse. Super magical setting! Dawn was really responsive and the house was clean and beautiful. We would book over and over again!

First of all I would like to thank Cortney for having such a nice, clean and perfect location to travel between WEC and her house. We were in town for a horse show for my daughter for 10 days and it gave us that home away from home without having the chores of back home. We were able to take day trips between shows and go experience the gulf coast and air boat rides all within about an hour of the location. You can also be at the grocery store or other shopping within 15 minutes. The house was perfect for the 4 of us, each kid had there own room and shared a bathroom and the master was perfect for us. Thank you again Cortney and if we come back next year we will definitely be in touch!!!!

Fantastic Farm stay. Sandra was able to accommodate us with short notice. Beautiful place in the country. She even allowed us to feed carrots to the animals. Will definitely be back.

Either I or my brother have rented homes in the Ocala area to quietly celebrate my father’s birthday, since he turned 90, seven years ago. He lives in Ocala and we always look for a place with enough room for our yearly family birthday dinner. In our 8 years here, Cheri’s house was the nicest, best appointed and most comfortable that we have ever rented. The pictures don’t even do it justice! First of all, the kitchen is amazing. She has everything you need to make family dinners and breakfasts. There is two of everything, dishwasher, refrigerator, ovens, microwaves. For the first time ever we were able to sit around one dining room table to eat. The two islands in the kitchen allowed all to sit around and talk while my sister and I cooked. There was even a sitting area off the kitchen. The house was so clean, the beds and furniture ample and comfortable. We loved sitting on the front porch where there was ample seating. Hoping her house is available to rent next year.

I absolutely love staying in Karen’s rental units. They’re always so clean and inviting, even with pets being allowed (my pup also loves it)! I’ve already booked another trip with her and am looking forward to returning!

I was in town to ride the Santos MTB trails, Nelson’s loft was a short and easy ride to the trail head and close to the bike shop where I rented a great bike. Nelson went above and beyond, explaining the layout of the trails and the best way to ride them. Super helpful

Beautiful, super clean, including kitchen, bathrooms, bedding & linens. Plenty of wood/lighter fluid for fire pit. Treats in kitchen, keurig machine & plenty of pods & and a bag of ice in freezer. Rich was helpful whenever we had a question. Heat & air conditioner work really fast. Good Tefal egg pan & slow cooker in kitchen. Lots of dishes.

The "Cottage" was a great place stay. The owners are very nice & personable. This place is set up very nicely for your pets. We will definitely stay here again on future trips.

As a horse person - I figured I would really enjoy staying at a horse farm. Some may think a horse farm cottage would be too rustic or smell like horses… not this place! Absolutely gorgeous interior design with everything that I would need for my stay. Very clean & comfy! The kitchen is nicer than the one I have in my house and I was really sad that I had to leave. The views of the horses in their paddocks really added to my love for this property. I whole heartedly recommend this cottage for horse & non-horse lovers 😊😊😊

I had an incredible stay at Kate’s Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcome. Kate is super sweet and incredibly responsive—always replying within five minutes and offering great restaurant recommendations. The farm setting was absolutely magical, and we loved meeting and petting all the farm animals! The Airbnb itself was cozy, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of storage for clothes and food. Kate even left us snacks when we arrived. We enjoyed breakfast every morning on the screened-in porch with breathtaking views. The decor was charming and made the space feel so homey. Kate truly went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. I highly recommend this place—five stars all the way!

Great stay and the camper was easy to get in and out of so we could do the things we wanted

I was thrilled to find Louise's listing available for a return visit. Her offering is top notch, a home away from home with extras (chickens and goats to love on!). She and Michelle are excellent hosts - friendly, generous, respectful of privacy. Misty Morning Acres was the perfect place for me to gather with local relatives and it served very well as a home base while visiting other family in the Panhandle. In every category, 5 stars just isn't enough of a positive rating! This is an excellent value and a prime location for all Central Florida has to offer.

Steve was a wonderful host and his place is just amazing! The area is so picturesque - gorgeous, peaceful horse farms everywhere. The apartment was immaculate and so well-appointed. Very spacious with room to unpack and truly feel right at home. I loved the double closets in the bedroom which allowed more than enough room to unpack everything and lovely spacious bathroom (double vanities) also with great closet and storage space. The kitchen was perfect, finished with everything you might need, and the living room area was comfortable, homey and nicely decorated. I really appreciated all the special touches, lighting, amenities that made it so easy to settle in. My dog and I loved walking the property and surrounding area every day. Steve was so helpful and accommodating as I extended my stay twice and he went out of his way to be helpful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - it's a dream spot!

Perfect location from 1-75, local horse farms and back roads to SR200. Clean place. Even thou Sherri was there you never heard her, very peaceful, a good night sleep.

Carrie’s place was in a great location between HITS and WEC horse show facilities. Easy communication and responsive to questions. Peaceful setting for the winter months.
