Can bring your dog, or ATV and do all the trails in the forest. Approximately 400,000 acres of forest.Activities: /The 'Ranch' is located just feet away from Ocala National Forest, nearly 400,000 acres to explore. Trails for hiking, horses & ATV all within steps from our home. St.Johns River only one mile away.

This is the oldest national forest east of the Mississippi with the largest stand of sand pine in the world. Swamps and flatwoods where you will find old cypress.

This habitat is home to so many endangered species. Bring your camera.... hiking, hunting, fishing, horse backriding & ATV trails go on forever. Canoeing is extremely popular, snorkeling in our many famous natural springs - all make this an extremely unique part of Florida.

Boat Weekend in Astor

Right in the heart of Astor, clean on the inside. Well stocked home (it’s a trailer). Close to the boat ramp and plenty of parking. A/C is awesome after long days on the boat and everyone wanting to be cool. 4 bedrooms is a plus with a group.

Springs getaway

The inside of the home was clean and well stocked. Comfortable beds, cold AC, and plenty of hot water for showers. It's a very nice piece of property but unfortunately it hasn't had any attention for a long time. Overall we had a good stay. Denise was available for any questions or concerns I had before, during, and after my stay.

Aged property

The property is a trailer that has been added on to several times. It was clean, but it is a very aged building in need of structural, plumbing and electrical repairs as well as decor updates. Would not recommend or stay there again. 0 stars out of 5.
