Welcome to Rock Haven Farm with our granddaddy oak tree canopied driveway that will stun you. Enjoy the stunning views over our 60-acre horse farm. A quite and tranquil setting, yet just minutes from an I-75 interchange. Located halfway between Ocala and Gainesville, and 90 minutes north of Orlando.

Love animals? We have grandkids so we have animals! ;) Come visit and interact with all our adorable small animals. We have goats, mini donkeys, belted galloway (oreo) cows, and alpacas. And of course since we are a horse farm, we have horses who love carrots and apples. We do not offer horseback riding, but we can point you in the right direction if that is your interest.

Three night minimum stay.

***NON-SMOKING***
No smoking allowed inside the house, you are welcome to smoke outside, but no cigarette butts on ground. No beer bottle caps on ground either.

Pets are welcome, we love pets! ~~~Pets are allowed with a $15 per night pet fee per pet. Sorry, no rottweilers, pit bulls, Dobermans or aggressive dogs.~~~ ***ATTENTION***If you bring a pet, please bring your own food and water dish. DO NOT use the kitchen dishes for pet bowls. If you do not bring pet bowls, the Dollar Tree is 10-12 minutes away, please make a trip and spend $2.00. If you use the kitchen dishes or bowls, you will be charged $75.00 to replace the whole set. Also, bring your own pet furniture covering if you are going to let your pet on the furniture. If you let your pet on the furniture without protecting it with your own pet coverings, you will be charged an extra cleaning fee of $275.00. When you leave, if we find pet hair on the furniture, we will take pictures of the pet hair on the furniture and send them to you along with notice that we are charging to have a professional shampooing of the furniture. Also, if your pet sleeps with you, bring your own bedding. If you let your pet on our bedding (sheets, comforter, pillows), you will be charged $225.00 to cover the cost of new bedding. Our cleaning company refuses to pick pet hair out of the bedding as it takes hours, so our only choice is to dispose of it.

Just what we needed

My family and I stayed during Thanksgiving. The property was a perfect size to accommodate the 5 of us. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed to prepare a Thanksgiving meal. The property is very peaceful and beautiful. We really enjoyed walking the farm and feeding the animals. We hope to return again

Extremely kind, responsive and helpful

Hurricane Milton forced us to cancel our stay but the owners were extremely cooperative and helpful. We were so comforted by the immediate and constant communication from the owner during an incredibly stressful time. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent place to stay!

My husband, daughter and 2 1/2 yo grandson enjoyed staying here! A very large place, clean and Pam greeted us upon arriving to take us up to the apt. to explain a few things. We loved being able to walk around the property to see the horses, donkeys and goats. We would definitely stay here again if coming back to this area!

Great place for families

This was our second time staying on Pamala’s property but the first in the Observatory. What a treat! Spacious and open inside with full porches on the front and back. Wonderful kitchen with everything you could possibly need! My grandkids loved going out to pet and feed the many animals, especially when the owners were out to chat with them. Great communication with the host whenever we had any questions.

Making Memories

Making memories on a family gathering that was long over do. In previous years we were not able to all get together. This year a special couple on their wedding day brought us together. (Missing one person do to a close delivery date) The rental was in an excellent location from the venue to their house. We would have loved to stay longer to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. #beautifulplacebeautifulpeople

Really Nice Rental w/ a Terrific Host

Truly enjoyed our stay in this brand new rental. All beds, furniture, appliances, etc. were high-quality. Beds, couches, chairs and stools were all extremely comfortable. Completely open floor plan with lots of space and access to a large front and back deck, offering a great opportunity to sit out and enjoy the sunrise, sunset or just watch the many farm animals on the property (horses, goats, donkeys, alpacas and cows). Speaking of farm animals, we were pleasantly surprised to find that there was NO farm odor at all (we were somewhat concerned this might be an issue when we originally booked the rental). My wife's got a pretty sensitive nose, so, if that's you and you're concerned, it shouldn't be an issue. It's a bit of a stair climb to get up to the apartment, but, as long as you don't have any significant health or joint issues, it shouldn't be a problem. We certainly had no trouble with it. Pam was a TERRIFIC host, quickly addressing any issues we ran into (nearly all of which were simply the result of it being a brand new rental that was missing a few odds and ends things that Pam quickly picked up and delivered to us). She's a truly wonderful person who clearly wanted to do all she could to make sure we had a great stay. We took an enjoyable walk around the farm, feeding Frosted Mini-Wheats to the various animals (at Pam's suggestion). All of the animals were very friendly, even the alpacas (and Pam assured us they are not prone to "spitting" as some are). If you want to eat out very much, there's little available for dinner, unless you want to drive about 25 minutes each way. Five Star pizza in Citra was decent & open in the evening, but most other restaurants nearby seemed to only be open for breakfast and lunch. That being said, there were quite a few well reviewed restaurants in Ocala (We ate at Harry's, at Pam's suggestion - the food was excellent). If you've never been, try and make a trip out to the WEC (World Equestrian Center) where they apparently do quite a few horse competitions and such. It's quite impressive & free to attend. There is seating & concessions on-site. If you're into the live oak/spanish moss look, you've got to do some driving around the area (McIntosh is a gorgeous little old town). Also, a walk on the Orange Creek North Tract will be a real treat for you. Location was great: close to Sliver Springs (definitely do some kayaking there), Gainesville, Ocala, etc. Would certainly stay again. Great stay!
