What a wonderful place to escape to! Carl and Terri were super-welcoming and made us feel at home and relaxed. Beautiful grounds to walk on and I fed a couple of horses some apples, which made me feel happy! I sat and read on the porch and my husband went fishing nearby in Eureka. The cottage has everything you need, and we got a great gift basket for a birthday treat. Nice little market nearby was helpful.

Loved the space. I went for a quiet relaxing weekend to shut off from the world and that’s exactly what I did. The property was great, enjoyed quit walks along the lake with my dog and just sitting in rocking chair on front porch. Highly recommend.

I took a weekend at Griffin Ranch, just me and my dog. Beautiful farm. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Stayed in Carlie's Cabin right by a wetland with Sand Hill Cranes. Pine woods and pastures, dark skies at night, and a comfortable well-equipped cabin. Full kitchen, living room, comfortable bed and nice porch and deck. Good farmhouse feel and private. There is some occasional gunfire from a nearby private backyard range, but it is only here and there and not a safety concern.. If you feel like watching TV, I recommend bringing some DVD's or your laptop and an HDMI cable. They do have wifi in case you need it. If your looking for a nice stay in the country, this is a good spot.

We had an amazing time at Griffin Ranch! Gorgeous property with peacocks, horses, and beautiful moss-covered live oaks with quaint, wooden cabins and acres of nature to explore. Carl was a gracious host and we will definitely be back!

Swamp adventure! This stay was super exciting, not only was it clean, beautiful, and secluded, but it is in the heart of spring country, which is this Floridians favorite pastime in the dog days of Summer, everyday we drove through a different part of Ocala National Forrest, nature lovers dream!

We stayed in the 1 room cottage on the property. For being 100+ years old, it was done up very comfortable. window shaker. Clawfoot tub, sink and toilet. Everything that wasn't new in there seemed to be very period appropriate. We stayed to visit some historical sites in the area, like the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings house. Turns out she visited the Griffin Ranch as well. We look forward to visiting again in a cooler month and camping to we can really explore the property. Thank you for the gift basket and being great host. Hope to see meow meow next time we visit.

We loved how quite it was and the clean air. We weren't able to do much but we enjoyed petting the horses and looking at the fire at night.

Me and my bf and our dog loved staying at the Griffin Ranch. We loved exploring the nearby trails and seeing the horses. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We ended up upgrading to Dads place. The birdwatching is awesome.

Just what we needed! Sad we couldnt stay longer, also sad we forgot our home-made peanut butter pie! It was so good! Great hosts made us feel special & right at home. It was quiet and peaceful, and a beautiful property! Especially around the pond. :) It rained quite a bit during our stay and the cabin was very cozy and comfortable for those times. Honestly no complaints and definitely will stay again.

The entire place was a blast!!! Each cabin looked cool. Was very easy to find off the main road. The friendly cats had to be the best part. Tiger was great!!! The showers were awesome too. Hot water was perfect. Would definitely come again, and 100% recommend this place for couples or families!

Griffin Ranch was amazing! Such a beautiful place super close to Ocala National. Carl was amazing to say the least. Amazing hospitality all around! There’s a fire pit outback, a grill, everything to cook with and prepare a home cooked meal. The cats were super friendly as well as the horses on-site. There’s also a small grocer very close by that has local grass fed steaks that are amazing!! I throughly enjoyed my stay at The Griffin Ranch and will most certainly be returning!

Carl was an absolutely lovely host. He was so accommodating — even letting us plug in our electric vehicle! He gave us great recommendations for local places to check out and was so welcoming. The ranch is located a convenient drive from the National Forest and from multiple natural springs, perfect for day trips.

Our vacation at the Griffin Ranch was very relaxing. We told Carl and Terry were kind and attentive hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed through the whole stay. We told them that we were coming out for my birthday weekend and to get a break away from the kids. When we arrived they had two full wine glasses, the bottle of wine, birthday ballons, and a box of chocolates for my birthday. They had the cabin ready and waiting for us. We had the historic cottage, its 150 years old, and it was very comfortable for two people. They allowed us to roam their property to go fishing and/or hiking. Their ranch worker told us about a few places in the area where we could go to do different things. We had a wonderful time at their ranch and definitely got the relaxation we needed to recharge. I would recommend the Griffin Ranch to anyone who is in need of a vacation.
