Beautiful setting

We are so glad that we stayed in such a beautiful area it was peaceful with amazing sunsets,however we did have a couple of issues. The cooking facilities are not ideal for a longer stay. The microwave oven is too high to use safely and the sink is set back too far to wash up comfortably. The bed is not the comfiest and the spiral staircase is noisy waking the other up if you have to go downstairs to the bathroom in the night. Max and Anne are gracious hosts and all in all we had a wonderful stay.

Fantastic, very tranquil.

Pelican cottage was fantastic. Very tranquil and great to see the horses, chickens and of course the adorable dogs. Everything was as described with comfortable indoor seating and efficient A/C. Pool was a very pleasant escape from the summer heat. Plenty shade areas beside the pool and the gas grill was great. Kitchen was simple but perfectly adequate and well equipped. Excellent communications with owners in advance to allow a very late arrival (11.30pm). Instructions given, doors open and lights on. Max and Anne were very friendly but gave us plenty privacy. Easy access to interstate 75 (10 minutes). Grocery stores nearby. We visited several state parks and saw lots of wildlife: Silver Springs, Rainbow Springs, De Leon and a local historic site (author). Worth a detour to the historic town of Micanopy. Absolutely no negatives and would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Paradise

This property was absolutely magnificent! It is absolutely perfect for two people. My husband and I stayed here with our two golden doodles. The dogs were also in heaven there are so many walking trails throughout the property and in the area. Every morning we would wake up and the dogs would be so excited to go outside. They have a beautiful fenced in area in the front of the cottage where the pool is located and also in the back of the cottage. The pool was definitely my favorite part. It's literally right when you walk out your door. We spent a lot of time just relaxing at the cottage they have a gas grill for you to cook out on which was definitely another favorite. The area this is located in is spectacular it's located in an area with a ton of gorgeous horse farms. This Cottage is located further back on the property and completely private. The owners were so kind and helpful but also did not invade our space at all. There are lots of things to do close by Silver Springs I think was only about 20 minutes away downtown Ocala only about 15 minutes away. This was an absolute perfect area to stay in away from the hustle and bustle. Don't hesitate to book this lovely place we will definitely be back again we really enjoyed our stay immensely I can't say enough good things about it
