About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Siegers Run - Kellie Yagel
A camping trip to Disney Worlds Fort Wilderness was eye opening. While watching our dogs and seeing how relaxing it was to have space, led to our property. Ocala is the Horse Capital of the World, and I'm a past and present equestrian rider... so it became our target area. We started with 10 wooded acres and grew to 30. We have cleared, designed our barn and it's 1300 square foot spectacular barndominium loft, added out buildings, hiking trails, pastures and our home. Adding horses and miniature cows, our love for animals and the environment have created the perfect setting. My husband and I welcome visitors to our Ranch, equestrians for the months long HITS and WEC events, as well as families looking to experience waking up on a farm... away from the city. We don't offer horseback riding but can head you in the right direction just minutes from our property.
Why they chose this property
We are located on a paved road on private property. You'll find peace and quiet, yet conveniences such as shopping and parks just 15 minutes away. Our barndominium offers all the comforts of home... and then some. Our outdoor lodge makes for the perfect bug free environment for watching the horses and cows. Enjoy morning coffee while the sun rises, a glass of wine in the evenings, or even a marshmallow roast with an open fire. Our property is so relaxing, you'll want to visit again! You may visit us as a guest... but everyone leaves as a friend.
What makes this property unique
We are a working Mini Moo Ranch, raising miniature cows for horse companions and people pets. They also serve as really cute pasture ornaments. We will be happy to introduce you to our herd, and super little ones if it's baby season when you are here. They are quite therapeutic to just sit and watch.
We introduce everyone to the world of miniature cows and share tidbits of fun facts. We invite you to come along any morning or afternoon to feed them treats with us, pet them and take pictures. We are home to the smallest Hereford bull on record, standing full grown at just 35".
And if you are a bird watcher, we've had guests tell us of sightings of our hawks, owls, wild turkeys and eagles.
We're not just a great place to stay, but a place you'll want to come home to and enjoy.
