About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
The "Observatory". A spacious apartment on a gated horse farm.
This luxury 1600 sq. ft. 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment sits above the Show barn. Totally renovated with brand new full kitchen, granite countertops and large island. New stainless steel appliances (stove, refrigerator, microwave, diswasher), Kuerig coffee maker, toaster, blender, dishes and pots and pans for cooking. 2 large bedrooms with full baths and king size beds, tv's in both bedrooms. Washer/dryer, hair dryers, electric fireplace & central heat and air that you control. Enjoy free Wi-Fi and SmartTV with YouTube Plus Live TV Streaming. Windows all across the front and back to give you a spectacular view of the farm and animals. Full length front and back porch to relax, sit and sip your coffee while you watch our beautiful sunrise or sunsets.
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.
A LEASE AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY FORM IS REQUIRED.
We have facilities for horse owners to bring their horses on vacation with them. We have 43 stalls in 2 concrete barns and plenty of pasture turnout available (proof of negative coggins required). Contact us for rates. We welcome guests with or without horses. You will find our tranquil ranch setting a wonderful place to relax and enjoy God's surrounding beauty.
We are a family owned and operated farm located in beautiful northeast Ocala, just 21 miles from HITS, 23 miles from the Florida Horse Park, 12 miles from the Jockey Club and 21 miles from the new World Equestrian Center. Contact us for seasonal rates available for Equine Eventers.
Rock Haven Farm is centrally located with ease to all major attractions and activities such as 20 minutes to the Ocala National Forest with great camping and horse trails and 10 minutes to zip lining and horseback riding. It is approx. 80 miles to Daytona and Ormond Beaches, 70 miles to St Augustine Beach. On the gulf side; about 50 miles to Crystal River and Kings Bay. (Great areas to watch the manatees and dolphins play). Rock Haven Farm is 14 miles from the famous Silver Springs National Park with the world famous glass bottom boats. It is approximately 1-2 hrs from most major attractions including Disney World, Bush Gardens, Epcot, Universal Studios and Kennedy Space Center.
