Charming, affordable place to stay

I stayed for one night while at an equestrian event in Ocala. Affordable accommodations are increasingly rare since World Equestrian Center opened. This is a really charming place. Yes, it's small, but the owner has taken great care to make it cozy and welcoming. I am booking this week for another stay in March.

A Fabulous Spot!

The property is beautiful and well maintained. Having a dedicated parking spot out front of the cabin enhanced the idea you had your own space. The cabinn was clean and very well outfitted (all you needed to have a comfortable stay) with a decor that was inviting and fit the area. Our focus was to be at WEC and being only minutes away was perfect! We look forward to booking this property again! Thank you to our fabulous hosts!

Ovedale Lodge / Adorable place to stay

This is an adorable property to call home for a few days while staying in the Ocala area. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed here while we were horse showing in the area. Affordable, clean and a wonderful host. Thanks for a great place that is quiet and tucked away, yet close enough to everything that we needed.

Great location for WEC

Perfect location if you have an event to attend at the World Equestrian Center. Cabin was clean and exactly as described. Host was quick to respond to texts/messages and was quick to accommodate us when we had an issue with the hot water.

A piece of heaven.

My standard poodle and I spent one night here. The pond with a water feature and the grounds are beautifully landscaped. I had my coffee in the morning enjoying the roosters crowing.

Cute bungalow close to WEC

The Ovedale lodge was super cute and affordable while we were showing at WEC! It had all we needed for sleeping and even some light cooking! It accommodated all 5 of us pretty comfortably as well as our pug. The space was small, but quite comfy. We will stay there again.

Good Value for Money

So I needed a quick overnight stay close to where I was boarding my new horse. Ovedale was good; when I drove over I was a little worried about the "dirt roads" and passed a few questionable homesteads (just a little downscale). But when I reached Mr. Kind's place I immediately recognized the quality and attention to detail. It was perfect for what I needed. If you are looking have a quick stay in Ocala near WEC this is a good place. (And I'm a VRBO Premier Host)!

Family Vacation!!

What an awesome stay! Kids are 5 and 3 and they absolutely loved staying up in the lofted beds. The space is small but very functional and looks great. Beds are comfy. We enjoyed the fire pit and eating dinner on the patio. Host was very responsive and accommodating and gave some great recommendations. A really cool experience and we would definitely stay again. Thanks!!

Fantastic Stay!

The location was a little hard for me and a friend to find but once we figured out where it was there was no issues with anything! The compost toilet fills up after about 4 days so if you’re planning to spend some time in the cabin just be aware of that. Kevin was amazing and was very easy to get in contact with and the property is amazing! I would recommend no more than 3-4 adults plus baggage just because it is a smaller space but for me and 1 person it was perfection!!

Darling tiny house

This property was perfect for what I needed. I was there for 8 nights. It was close to the venue where I was attending a conference. The house was clean and comfortable. Kevin was there to greet me and answer any questions I had. Since I’m a “senior “ I chose to sleep on the daybed which was very comfortable. There are 3 beds in the loft but the ladder up and down was a bit formidable to me. All in all this was exactly what I expected.

AMAZING!!! Love, love, loved it!!

Our family stayed at Ovedale for a weekend while we were in Ocala for a wedding. Kevin was such a great host. We were so comfortable and had everything we needed... and more. The beds were comfy, the property was beautiful. This tiny house was so cute and so homey. This was our first tiny house experience. We loved it!! Now we want to build our own tiny house!! Thank you, Kevin!! You're a wonderful host!

Very Comfy

The cabin was very cozy and comfortable for my partner and I. The only issue was the toilet which was a self-contained composting toilet. It would’ve been liked to know beforehand.
