The Harley Hideaway, a Tiny House on the Water

This tiny house has been fully renovated and furnished with a queen bed, full bath & complete kitchen and is situated on a deep-water canal right off the St. John’s River. We are surrounded by Florida's Ocala National Forest and our many beautiful springs. It's a fun retreat with plenty of activities available! Perfect for a single person or a couple. Fishing is awesome! You can fish off the dock in the backyard, on Lake George, Lake Dexter, the St. Johns River or in our many creeks and springs. A photographer’s delight! You will find miles of hiking, and off -road vehicle and horse trails throughout the forest. Bring your boat, kayaks, canoes and golf cart. We have room for your vehicles and trailers on the property. A public boat ramp is only 5 minutes away by road, 10-15 minutes by river. Hunt for deer and wild turkey in season. And in the off season, check out the pistol, rifle and skeet/trap shooting range in the forest. By the way, we are a golf cart community. Bikers, fishers and boaters are welcome!
This tiny home is also within an hour to many of Central Florida’s attractions including Disney, Universal and the beaches on both coasts. And, within a few miles, you can dine at Drifters Bar & Grill (formerly Blackwater Inn), order pizza delivered from Pizza-Over-Yonder and have breakfast or lunch at the Rose Garden or Sparky’s. If you want to eat in, groceries are available from the Triple Z market or the Dollar General Market just a mile away.
Spend a long weekend, week, or the season with us. Weekly and Monthly discounts available. Whatever your indulgence, your comfort and privacy is our main concern.
