Pet-friendly home w/ game room & fire pit

Welcome to Henry’s Hideaway - your peaceful Ocala retreat for families, friends & pups alike! Relax, play & reconnect across 1.5 fenced acres of comfort and fun:

- Sleeps 9 | 3 bedrooms | 5 beds | 2 baths
- Private pool (open year-round)
- Detached game room w/ pool table & arcade
- Screened lanai w/ dining for 8 & outdoor seating
- Fully equipped kitchen & laundry
- Pet-friendly & family-ready w/ baby gear on request


Sunlight filters through the trees as you sip coffee on the screened lanai, watching the morning shimmer across the private pool. The scent of fresh grass drifts in from the fully fenced yard where kids and pups can play freely. Evenings invite slow moments by the fire pit or friendly games under the soft glow of the gazebo lights. Henry’s Hideaway feels like a place made for togetherness - relaxed, open, and surrounded by Ocala’s natural beauty.

Sleeping arrangements
This single-level home accommodates up to nine guests with three comfortable bedrooms and five total beds. Two king beds and three twin beds provide ample space for restful nights, while a queen pull-out sofa in the detached game room offers additional sleeping room. Each space is designed for ease and comfort, complete with bed linens, extra pillows, and room-darkening blinds.

Indoor living
Inside, the open concept living area welcomes you with high-beamed ceilings, a large sectional, and a recliner set before a 65-inch Smart TV. Stream your favorite shows, gather for a movie night, or simply unwind after a day exploring Ocala’s horse country. The home includes central air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, and thoughtful touches like board games and a children’s playroom to keep everyone entertained.

Kitchen & dining
The kitchen is fully equipped for home cooking, featuring stainless steel Samsung appliances, a refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and electric stove. A drip coffee maker and Keurig coffee machine make mornings easy, while the dining table for eight on the lanai invites shared meals overlooking the yard and pool. You’ll find essentials like cookware, dishes, and utensils ready for use, along with a washer and dryer in the garage for convenience during longer stays.

Outdoor living
Step outside to enjoy 1.5 acres of fenced space surrounded by greenery. The 4-foot-deep above-ground pool is open year-round but not heated, perfect for cooling off beneath the Florida sun. The detached, climate-controlled game room is just steps away, offering an 8-foot pool table, 60-game arcade, 55-inch Smart TV, and beverage fridge. Outdoors, you’ll also find a fire pit, gas grill, outdoor dining area, and plenty of seating to relax and enjoy the view.

Family & pet-friendly touches
Henry’s Hideaway is fully pet-friendly, so your four-legged family members can join in the fun. Baby gear is available upon request, including a crib, pack ’n play, and high chair. Safety features include smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a first aid kit, and exterior security cameras for peace of mind.

Neighborhood
Located just minutes from downtown Ocala, Silver Springs State Park, and the World Equestrian Center, this home offers easy access to dining, nature trails, and local attractions. Whether your days are spent hiking, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the pool, you’ll find the comfort and connection you came for right here.

Smart-lock entry, ample parking with a 2-car garage and RV hookup, and reliable Wi-Fi make your stay seamless from start to finish. Henry’s Hideaway invites you to settle in, stretch out, and experience the quiet charm of Ocala at your own pace.

Silver Springs Visit

We traveled with toddlers and they had the best time swimming in the pool, running in the backyard, and playing in the game room. The house was set up perfectly for a family getaway. We have listed the house as on of our favorites and we hope to be back in the future. We highly recommend Henry’s Hideaway!

Perfect In Every Way

This property was exactly as described and as seen in the photos. The host couldn't have thought of anything else to make our stay more enjoyable. Our dog absolutely loved the huge fenced in backyard. Although, it was just me, my husband and our dog, this house is perfect for a large family. We will be back when in the area.

Great location and great property

My daughter was getting married that weekend and we needed a bigger place for the siblings to stay during the wedding festivities. We could not have asked for a nice place. The home was very clean and appropriately appointed. The host was outstanding in providing all the information everyone needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Do not hesitate to stay at this property.
