About this property
"COWBOY COTTAGE" 4-bedroom Home on Gated Horse Farm
Welcome to Rock Haven Farm with our granddaddy oak tree canopied driveway that will stun you. Enjoy the stunning views all around 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 mini donkeys, belted galloway (oreo) cows, chickens and alpacas. And of course since we are a horse farm, we have horses who love carrots and apples and all the animals love frosted mini wheats. We do not offer horseback riding, but we can point you in the right direction if that is your interest.
Four night minimum stay.

The most peaceful Vrbo we have ever stayed! Lovely setting with the horses and other animals….definitely therapeutic and restful. Being inside the farm gave a great sense of safety, which helps contribute to the ambiance mentioned above!
We picked "Cowboy Cottage" in Citra because the location was right in between our two daughters and their families whom we were visiting. What a beautiful and serene farm setting with large trees and lots of friendly animals. The host, Pam, was exceptional particularly since we had to reschedule the dates of our original stay due to hurricane activity impacting central Florida. The cottage was clean, nicely decorated, well-stocked and spacious. Beautiful place!
My daughter in law and I stayed in this awesome house for a week. Perfect location, great host, adorable surroundings with animals, scenery and peaceful atmosphere. We felt so safe, and we absolutely loved the week.
Thank you Pam for allowing us to stay!!!

This property was on a working horse farm and the owners were so nice and friendly and the it was great to sit on the porch and watch all the animals- GREAT PLACE AND WEEK
We rented this property while visiting family in Ocala and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We felt safe and welcomed the entire time. The kids loved feeding and visiting with all of the animals!
We had a very relaxing stay. The Grandkids enjoyed feeding all the animals. They couldn’t wait to get out of school and get back to the farm. We will be returning, highly recommended.
Our peaceful & tranquil place. This is our number one VRBO that we have ever stayed in. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you Pam for making us feel so welcome.
My sister and I stayed for a long weekend at this property and we absolutely loved it. We LOVE animals and we had the best time feeding them and visiting them. The most relaxing vacation ever! Pamala was an awesome host and we enjoyed talking with her.
Thank you Pamala!
Pam and her family go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
The cottage is in the middle of their property so you are surrounded by fields and paddocks. There are horses, goats, alpacas, miniature donkeys, and cows on the farm. We walked around to the different enclosures and most of the animals were excited to see visitors and get petted.
It’s an easy drive to the world equestrian center and the layout of the cottage gives you room to relax at the end of the day.
I can not say enough good things about this VRBO, it is located in the middle of a working ranch so if you like horses and goats and Lama's this place is perfect. For me there was no down side, I saved a ton of money housing my family of 6 for 5 nights, we loved the quite seclusion, and waking up to play with goats is an amazing start to any day. The owner Pam was wonderful and responded to all our needs right away. This is my new #1 spot to stay in this area. The house is exactly as advertised and the Air conditioner works amazingly.
This has to be the best place we ever stayed. We were here for a dog show but never wanted to leave the property. It is quiet, comfortable, beautiful, safe, and just amazing. The property owners are the nicest, kindest people you could meet. I am so glad we had the opportunity to stay here.
Pamela is very responsive and helpful. This is our second stay and the kids love interacting with the animals. We as parents love that they can go outside and play and have independence. This property is great to get away and really enjoy as a family
