Spotted Dance Ranch is a small guest ranch and horse breeding facility that has been hosting guests since 2014. Come stay in our cozy Cowboy Cottage located on the beautiful ranch grounds, and enjoy the peace and quiet of the ranch located adjacent to the Croom Tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest! Depending on the time of your stay, you may get to see this year's foal, or campers and their horses will also be staying on ranch grounds near the cottage. Bring your horse if you have one (note that we do not offer trail riding on our horses); otherwise, many other outdoor activities and attractions are available nearby, or just relax! We are conveniently located outside Brooksville, Florida near I-75.

I have severe allergies to dogs, so dogs, including service animals, can't stay in the cottage.
Because we are a working horse ranch, we require that you stay in the immediate cottage area and away from the horses and barns.
We occasionally allow children (depends on how full the camping area is), so please ask.

What a peaceful location! A quaint/older cottage - but cute for our one-night stay. Communication was excellent. John welcomed us and introduced us to the horses (which was a treat!).
We absolutely loved Kym’s horse farm cottage. What a slice of heaven to escape to such a quiet, peaceful retreat. Kym was extremely nice and accommodating. The cottage was super cute, clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, plenty of towels, etc. we loved every minute and wish we had a longer stay. Will be back, thank you!
I wanted to find a quiet place to stay over the Christmas
holiday. This was just the ticket. Such a beautiful well kept horse farm. Even the horses were friendly. I would definitely stay there again when I am in the area.
Was very happy to decompress from the city by relaxing in the Cozy Cowboy Cottage. Nice seeing the horses & enjoying the open spaces. Hosts John & Kym were wonderful.
We came to Florida to look at homes and Kym and John were very welcoming and gave us a lot of information on the areas. The farm is beautiful and it’s so much nicer than a hotel. Our 2 night stay was great! Getting to wake up, make coffee and sit outside and watch the horses was so relaxing. We will definitely stay again
We definitely enjoyed the super relaxing vibes of the ranch. We were looking for a place to just chill for the night, and we absolutely loved the quaint cottage! Thank you so much!
I was greeted with such friendliness, I felt like I was coming home! Unfortunately I only was able to stay one night! It was so relaxing and quiet and I look forward to staying there again in the future!
Thank you so very much for making me feel comfortable!!
Love the rural location and being close to the national park trails, etc. The WiFi is not great if you need to do a lot of heavy working online, everything else is great.
I was unfortunately just passing through and could not stay long, but my stay was great. The owners are incredibly friendly and happy to help you with any questions. The surrounding area was lovely as well.
Everything was just perfect in this cute cottage on a horse ranch. I loved stepping on the back porch & seeing a couple of the horses. The place had everything I needed & the bed slept comfortably. Would stay there again- hopefully longer!
My husband and I had to come down for a funeral. We were looking at hotels when we came across this listing. It was above our expectations and we had a great time. Waking up to a phenomenal view was the best part and the owners were so friendly. We hope to stay again!
My wife and I just returned from this cabin since we needed a little get away from work, the city, and the hustle bustle. We were just going to get a hotel but stumbled on this listing in the area we wanted to do some hiking and biking at. All we can say is "WOW". The quaint cabin was so relaxing and the property was immaculate. The hosts Kym and John were amazing and made us feel like we were part of the family. The best part of all was spending time with Vivian their newest 3 1/2 month old foal. All of the horses were so sweet and gentle. What a precious weekend that we will never forget and I can assure you we will be back.
I felt totally at home in this perfect guest house with beautiful view of the horses. Great location for access to forest and close to all amenities. Only 5 minutes from everything and still felt like I was in the woods. Never ever heard any of the neighbors or the animals. Will definitely be back.
