Top Ocala National Forest Hotel Reviews

Unique A-Frame wloft, pool, & RV electric 17 min from Silver Springs State Park

10/10 Excellent

"The place is great! Centrally located between numerous springs and close enough to town without being in town. We were visiting family in Ocala and and took advantage of kayaking trips at Silver Springs and Kings Landing. Sarah was very responsive and welcoming and even had a little welcome gift for us on arrival. The pool, stone grill and the wildlife made an evening at the cabin very relaxing. It was a wonderful experience and are already planning our next trip."

Walk to Lake George: Quiet Nature Escape w/ Deck

10/10 Excellent

Best lake view cottage #21 at Salt Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Krista was an excellent host! Highly communicative and very responsive! As for the cottage, we have stayed at elite resort Salt Springs many times and this is the first time that we got a Vrbo. This was a fantastic cottage and definitely an upgrade from the standard cottages that we’ve stayed in in years past. Super comfy couch, excellent location and view. I would highly recommend this cottage if you are staying at Salt Springs."

"Brian was a great host with a great home. We will be back."

The Silver Springs Lakefront Cottage - with Canoe

8/10 Good

"Great lake house. We really enjoyed staying there. The house needs some special attention to many stains on curtains and pillows were gross on couch. It seems that the comforter in 2nd bedroom were used with strange white stains & lots of hairs on it so my son slept in the 3rd room. Other than listed above, the house was clean. The beds are really high and was hard for me to get into and I'm 5' 8" but everyone else in my party are 6' plus. Kitchen was great & well equipped. We had everything we needed to grill and cook in the house. The back deck was wonderful to hang out on with our small dogs. Once the sun goes down there was spiders galore everywhere. The paddle boat was broken so we had to fix it to take out. The sun cover on it is no longer there. We were hoping for some great fishing but it was just ok. People were swimming in it but we didn't. The bottom was mucky. This house was centrally located. Great jeep trails(mins away), silver spring kayaking(10 mins away), salt springs for tubing(20 mins). Great restaurant Mojo is 10 mins away but all other spots were closed early or not open when we were trying to find places to eat. All in all, it was a great mini great away."

Beautiful Get-away - Ocala National Forest @ Salt Springs Resort- Loaner kayaks!

10/10 Excellent

"Host was great in communicating with us through VRBO. We should have shared cell numbers and handled everything through texting after the initial communication. We had a pet with us that had to be accomodated at the last second (and was fine). We were offered use of kayaks, but we couldn't take advantage due to weather. (Our problem not theirs). Had everything we needed for a great weekend."
