Diamond Oaks Farm FL Dude Ranches Best Ocala Stays

I serendipitously stumbled upon Diamond Oaks Farm when looking for a birthday trip for my soon to be 13 year old. Jamie was responsive and accommodating from the very start. The house we rented was extremely reasonable for the cost, beautiful original flooring, great kitchen for cooking, covered porch to enjoy the rain & play games. The idea of being able to enjoy the ranch life first hand & ride during the stay is genius, we really unplugged and reset ! Equestrian Jen gave us an immersive experience connecting with the horses & it was according to my daughter the best birthday gift of her life. Jens equestrian knowledge is obvious yet she remains down to earth and is an skilled teacher. She taught us an impressive amount in the time frame but always held the horses best interest as highest priority,revealing her genuine love for this magnificent animal. Overall, to see my daughter smile the way she did at the end of her 3 day experience was something Ill never forget. Tears where shed when we left but I told her dont worry we will be back ! Thank you to all the amazing people & beautiful horses at Diamond Oaks Farm for giving us a vacation with memories that will last a life time. We will most certainly be back as soon as possible. My smaller children loved watching the horses from the windows in the house and running in the lush yard covered by gorgeous trees. Really Jen & Jamie are doing Amazing work spreading the healing power of getting in touch with a slower pace of life. If you have a teen that loves horses or you do yourself, do not miss this place. Cant recommend enough ! Also nice that the springs are a 30 min drive and make for a killer afternoon getaway in the Florida National Forest

Such a lovely place. My daughters had a blast running around the property & spending time with all the sweet horses & feeding them carrots. Amazing to look out the kitchen window & see the horses every day. I love how close the house is to the horses. Elizabeth did an amazing job filling in & gave all five of us lessons. Elizabeth was extremely kind and patient with my daughters and they learned so much. We cant wait to come back very soon. Naples,FL
