Pet Friendly Vacation Rental at Mini Moo Ranch - only 6 miles to WEC Ocala, Fl

Beautiful stay away from home. Our lovely 1/1 "barndominium" king bed loft is located above a concrete horse barn on 30 acres. Once you enter our gaited drive, there is a peacefulness that comes along with the fresh air and open space of our property. A casual walk through the center breezeway of the horse barn will lead to the upstairs loft accommodations. You will find beautiful hardwood ceilings and floors throughout, including the large bedroom with 2 walk in closets and King bed. A separate set of bunks can accommodate kids up to 110 pounds maximum. Our loft also offers a beautiful kitchen with views of the pastures, all stainless steel appliances and granite eat in counter. Bathroom shows off a perfect touch of country with a clawfoot soaking tub and shower. New GE washer and dryer. Open floor plan for kitchen/living/dining. A/C, Internet and TV included. Enjoy our outdoor lodge for cool night fires, marshmallow roasting or afternoons relaxing, overlooking the horses and cows grazing. Makes for a perfect relaxing point for the days end.

We do not offer horseback riding but we will gladly introduce you to our farm animals.
They are fun and relaxing to watch! And if you happen to see us out playing with or feeding the Mini Moos... if you'd like to join in and pet them and hand feed them a treat, just ask. They love to meet new friends. We raise miniature Hereford and Belted Galloways here at Mini Moo Ranch. They will spend their life as an equine companion or as pets. We do not raise for consumption. Our Mini Moos are full grown at under 39" tall, with some as small as 34". We do include a complimentary educational encounter to our Loft Guests.


Owner has home on property and available most anytime.

Peace and Quiet

Perfect place to stay if you're looking to unwind. Spacious areas, indoors and outdoors, offer up relaxation. In addition to enjoyable conversations with the wonderful owner and visits to see the horses and cows, there is plenty of welcoming solitude among green pastures. Within 20 minutes there are plenty of restaurants, and Ocala's best kept secret (if you didn't know), the World Equestrian Center.

Mini Moo in February

My son and I took a trip to Florida to do a little scuba diving. When considering where to stay, I wanted to find something different, and Mini Moo Ranch was great! The hosts were kind and friendly, the listing was spot-on and very clean, I felt safe, and the animals made it so fun and relaxing. Thank you Kellie, you made our time memorable and fun!

Fabulous Barn and Hosts

We stayed here whilst in town for our son's swim conference at the nearby FAST facility. Kellie was our host and she was fabulous - the world needs more people like her! She has such a great outlook on life and she loves her animals, that's for sure. She always had a smile on her face and she was happy to chat and show us around. We did enjoy coming back to the barn each night and saying goodnight to the horses and of course, a special shout out to Peanut (who never gets fed!)The barn itself is simply furnished, clean and had a wonderful collection of teas and coffee. The views from the windows of the green pastures were very refreshing for us city based people. We visited WEC numerous times with our dog and we enjoyed grabbing a pastry and coffee and sitting watching the early morning horse riding competitions, before heading to the pool to watch our son.We enjoyed lunch and dinner at the local airport restaurant Elevation 89.Thanks, Kellie.

Mini Moo Ranch is Exactly What You Need!

The owners are wonderfully friendly, and so are the cows & horses. The apartment is very spacious, and well appointed. Fully stocked kitchen has everything you could possibly need to make meals, bed was very comfortable. Kellie & Russ have created a peaceful paradise in Ocala horse country. Highly recommended!

Peace and Relaxation

Kellie was wonderful to work with and very accommodating especially allowing us to check in extra early. The property is quiet and the dogs enjoyed running in the fenced area. My wife enjoyed the hi sea and cows and we both enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Close to WEC and other areas of Ocala. If you want a peaceful getaway on a farm this is it.

We had a wonderful stay at Mimi Moo Ranch. The loft apartment was spacious, clean and well outfitted. Bed was very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Kellie was readily available and answered all our questions. We loved the tour of the ranch and meeting her beautiful cows and horses.

Go meet Tinkerbell and Peanut!

Mini Moo Ranch in Ocala is a magical and relaxing place. Kellie is an amazing host with lots of knowledge about Hereford and Belted cows. The apartment above the 6 stall barn was spacious and inviting, the perfect home away from home. It was so wonderful to spend time there and with all the wonderful happy animals. They all made my birthday very special indeed.

Mini Moo must do

The property and stay were spectacular. The pictures do not do it justice. This was the escape we needed and Kellie was the most gracious host ever! What a breath of fresh air, literally. Words cannot describe. If you are questioning staying here don't hesitate. Combined with the WEC and the surrounding parks 2 nights here is perfect!!
