Rural Experience
Erika and Nick are very accommodating hosts. Rental is nice. This is a very rural experience so make sure that is what you are looking for. Road in is dirt and very rough. Which was fine for us. Note: there is no pool as stated.

Deep in the Florida woods
The husband & I do not care for the big cities & towns. So Jaunita’s Cabin was just right. It’s cozy. It’s comfortable. It’s delightful.It’s right close to the Ocklawaha River which is awesome.Salt Springs just down the road. Fabulous.If you want city-like conveniences and attractions, choose elsewhere. But if you want the peace & quiet of the Florida woods this is a lovely spot. We stayed for the month of November 2024. Loved it.Oh and the pet chickens were a sweet surprise.Nick & Erika were excellent hosts.For us, it was thoroughly delightful.
Fue una experiencia hermosa me sentí en familia y los anfitriones espectaculares regresare

Pretty cozy cabin
I couldn’t have found better place in Ocala to stay than this pretty, comfortable and cozy cabin. The place in pretty near to downtown and the Springs which is very convenient, it literally took us around 15-30 minutes to each place to visit, it depends. What I suggest is if you go to restaurant or dinner make plans early, since places close kind of early. My boyfriend end I had an excellent time, we even enjoyed the campfire that the owner made for us at night, it was awesome to have sometime enjoying the sky at night, we really enjoyed it. The place also has a nice jacuzzi that we could use for free, and they provided a lot of information about the city, in addition they provide boat tours at very reasonable prices. I would love to go back very soon. Thanks Erika and Nick for providing such great service,‘helpful info and advice to us.

Peaceful and pretty
The property was very nice and peacful. If you are looking to get away from the everyday rush in this world, this would be the right spot. My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. There was an incident that was out of everyones control, but the property owners handled it well. Nick and Erika were wonderful hosts. They even brought us some bread pudding from a restaurant they had visited (they did invite us to come along but my hubby and I were pooped). It was a vacation we will not forget. Thank you, Nick and Erika! 🙂

Perfect to reconnect with nature
The property is quaint and off the beaten track.
The property owners treated us like family; we could not have asked for a more enjoyable trip.
If you’re looking for shopping and spas, etc. The property is about a half hour from town, so this is might not be the place for you.
It’s exactly what we were looking for though.

We didn't enjoy the location, too remote for what we expected via photos. The pool was not in condition for entering, the rooms smelled old and musky. The vinyl flooring was mismatched as was the interior design. The host was extremely nice and cooperative with offering a partial refund

Cozy Remote Getaway Near Ocala Natl Forest
My woman and I had a wonderful time here. The host was very accommodating and the interior was thoroughly clean and inviting. The road to get to the property itself is in dire need of maintenance, but that’s nothing to do with the property itself. The one critique is the pool; it was dirty (had to clean it myself) and there were electrical outlets & wires running by the steps into the pool. That aside, we had no complaints and only praise.

Cozy stay
We enjoyed our stay here, it was clean, cozy, and matched all the photos. I will say that I wish I had known the last 0.3 miles of the drive is very rough dirt roads. I would have driven the Jeep instead of the brand new Camry. Other than that, it was a pleasant visit.

Excellent hosts
Nick and Ericka were extremely attentive and gracious hosts! The place looks exactly like the pics, and the hosts went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable! Nick lit the bonfire for us each night, they had all the things you don't think of- charcoal for the grill, big spray, etc. Definitely recommend this place for some peace and relaxation!!
