Awesome Stay
I had an excellent stay at this hotel! The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, making it feel like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with a smile. This was truly one of the most comfortable stays I’ve ever had. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and pleasant experience!

Are you kidding me
“Are you kidding me” were the first words out of my mouth when I entered my hotel room. This was after already being overwhelmed ably an incredible entrance and lobby decorated with high end couture furniture, decor, and equestrian artwork. This place is an equestrian dream. My hotel room overlooks a warm up ring and I could watch horses first thing in the am from my bed with a cup of coffee all the way into the late evening. I was only in town for one evening to try horses in Ocala and was planning to just book any old hotel since I wouldn’t be spending much time in it but I booked The Equestrian on a whim despite the price tag and I am so glad I did. What an experience and I’ll absolutely be back. As a solo traveler, I headed to the bar at the yellow pony to have a martini and a light dinner. It was lively and I’ve never sat at a bar and looked around to be surrounded by all fellow equestrians. It’s such a cool thing. The breakfast at patisserie was also delicious. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This is a wonderful hotel. We go every year at the holidays. It is decorated so beautifully. The staff makes an effort to call you by your name . The service is excellent. The food is good. And the attention to detail through out the hotel is amazing. The beds are perfect….. and they have down pillows! Bravo!!!! We can’t wait to return for Christmas. The restaurants are busy especially in the evening so make a reservation and you will have a great time.

Great experience! Beautiful hotel, beautiful grounds, and nice staff. I left my headphones in my hotel room and they found them and mailed them back to me - above and beyond! Only downside is the hotel can be hard to find the first time.

We evacuated to the resort for Hurricane Milton. It is a beautiful resort with fine dining, a nice bar and a terrific pastry shop for coffee and breakfast. The staff was amazingly helpful. i would definitely recommend the Equestrian to friends and would be happy to stay again.
