In der Nähe der Dörfer / Ocala / Doe Lake - 7 Suiten * POOL * RIESIGE KÜCHE * Gruppen LIEBEN UNS

Thank you for your visit. Applauding that you all made the time to journey from your home states to visit with relatives in The Villages close by - special memories made! We appreciated your excellent communication from the start, and that attention to detail was evident throughout your stay. Thank you for following our house guidelines, washing the pool towels, stripping the beds, and leaving the property in excellent condition. Your efforts made a real difference and were truly appreciated. The thoughtful treats you left in the refrigerator were such a lovely surprise. We would be delighted to host Julie and her family again and highly recommend them to any future host. Best wishes to you all! Anne & Brantley

Thank you so very much - delighted you all had the best time. The big birthday celebration and watching your Wolverines win March Madness on a HUGE outdoor jumbo (very creative) was spectacular. The best memories for you and yours.

Thank you so very much for your visit - and, the clean-up efforts. Thank you also for the goodies left behind. The younger guests have taken advantage of the pool toys - much appreciated!

Thank you very much, Kalen. We truly appreciate your business.

So much fun seeing your activity photos on and off the property. There is so much to do and see in our area - glad you took advantage. Thank you to all in the 'Best Friends Club'. Many thanks for the excellent clean up and the many extras left for us. :0) Please come visit again. Anne & Brantley.

Thank you very much. Delighted your father's 90th was a big success. Thank you for all of your clean-up efforts. All is very much appreciated. Safe travels, Anne.

Thank you so very much for your visit. Glad that all worked out well - memories made.

Wonderful to visit with your youth group and volunteers. Thank you so much for your stellar clean-up efforts. Safe travels.

Exceptional guests - great communication - easy going - very clean. Thank you Leslee for your stellar clean-up on exit - this was truly appreciated on a same day check-in! What a relief to not have to fix, replace or put any items back in-place - even the hot tub cover was put back on - no heat escaping! Many thanks for helping wash pool towels, etc., that saved us a ton of time on the turn around. Applause and thank you very much!

Thank you very much for visiting, Anita. Hope to see your sweet faces again sometime. Merry Christmas.

Thank you very much, Susan. Glad you all made wonderful memories.

Glad to host Mr. Jones and his Class of ’62 classmates. We take seriously all guest suggestions on how we can improve our property. We have reprioritized some projects to address concerns mentioned by Mr. Jones. Among these are…touching up some fascia at the back of the house and cottage, repainting the ramp to the front porch to address some chipped paint, addressing some small gaps below a few porch spindles, touching up a few spots on the front porch ceiling that need recaulking, and adjusting a couple of fence posts to get everything into alignment. We try to be proactive, but often times more pressing repair items take priority over the items mentioned above. We’re hoping to have these items taken care of in the next 60 days (or sooner). I am perplexed however at the statement that the house was very dark inside. We have overhead lighting in every guest room, hallway, and common area & use almost exclusively 800+ lumen LED bulbs. There are multiple other light sources (lamps, wall sconces, canned lights) for every room. A few areas have dimmers which can make a big difference if they are turned down. We did find one overhead light (two bulb fixture) in a room off the kitchen where one bulb was putting out very little light. We’ve also added a 1600 lumen bulb to a two light fixture in the back hallway, and same to one overhead bathroom light. I will see if these areas are too bright as this is the first time anyone has ever mentioned lighting being a problem. One gentleman in Mr. Jones’ group did call us one evening to find out how to turn off lights in the library and other common areas (we like to keep lights on in common areas for safety). The lights over the piano were disconnected, one lamp on a timer was turned off and with the overhead lights off, yes it most definitely will be dark. In addition every room/area has at least one other source for outside light (windows, French doors) and most have two or more. Regarding a gathering place for more than 8 persons, the dining room can hold up to 14. There are actually two dining areas which can accommodate collectively 20 when dining. We have hosted over 150 groups in the last 7 ½ years in addition to our normal operation as a Bed & Breakfast, & with few exceptions the groups have found our covered porches and large pool area more than meets the need for group gatherings. Our large kitchen also provides a regular place to gather & the room right off the kitchen accommodates 8 comfortably.
