- Detached game room w/ pool table, arcade games, & 55" Smart TV

Sprawled across 1.5 fully fenced acres just outside downtown Ocala, Henry's Hideaway is a dog-themed family retreat built for groups who want room to actually spread out. Whether you're spending the day poolside, competing in the game room, or simply unwinding around the fire pit with a cold drink, there's always somewhere to land.
 
Living Space:
High-beamed ceilings and an open floor plan give the main living area a relaxed, easy feel. The living room is anchored by a 65-inch HDTV and an indoor fireplace - plenty to keep everyone comfortable on cooler evenings. Central air conditioning, central heating, ceiling fans, and portable fans mean the temperature is always on your terms. Remote workers will appreciate the dedicated workspace, set up with an ergonomic chair, laptop stand, and surge protector.
 
Sleeping Arrangements:
Three bedrooms sleep up to 9 guests across 2 king beds and 3 twin beds. The detached game room also has a queen pull-out sofa for overflow. Room-darkening blinds, extra pillows and blankets, and generous clothing storage - including a walk-in closet, closet, and dresser - make longer stays feel genuinely settled.
 
Kitchen & Dining:
The full kitchen is stocked and ready for real cooking. You'll find a Samsung refrigerator, Samsung stainless steel electric stove, Samsung stainless steel oven, microwave, dishwasher, and all the cooking basics already in place. A drip coffee maker and Keurig machine take care of mornings, and a blender, toaster, hot water kettle, baking sheet, and wine glasses round out the rest. Barbecue utensils are ready for outdoor meals, and an in-unit washer and dryer handle the laundry.
 
Outdoor Living:
The backyard is where Henry's Hideaway earns its name. The private outdoor pool is open year-round, 24 hours a day, and unheated - a genuine plus in the Florida heat. The screened lanai extends your living space outside with an outdoor dining area and outdoor furniture, while the gas BBQ grill and fire pit make evenings outdoors an easy habit. The fully fenced backyard gives everyone - guests and dogs alike - space to roam without a second thought.
 
Game Room:
The detached game room is its own destination. Climate-controlled and fully loaded, it features a pool table, arcade games, game console, life size games, a theme room, 55-inch Smart TV, and a mini fridge. Whether it's a rainy afternoon or a late night after the kids are down, this space keeps the fun going.
 
Families with little ones:
Henry's Hideaway is genuinely family-ready. Baby safety gates and outlet covers give parents peace of mind, while a crib, Pack 'n play/Travel crib, standalone high chair, and children's dinnerware are all available upon request. Board games add another easy option for time inside together. Baby supplies available upon request.
 
Pet-friendly:
Henry's Hideaway is built around the love of dogs - wiener dogs in particular - and your four-legged companions are fully welcome here. The expansive fenced yard gives them space to roam freely alongside you. While 2 dogs are typically noted, additional dogs may be welcome depending on breed and training. A pet fee of $99 per pet applies.
 
Neighborhood:
Minutes from downtown Ocala, Silver Springs State Park, and the World Equestrian Center, the property puts hiking trails, kayaking, local dining, and a wide range of attractions within easy reach - while staying quiet and tucked away when you're ready to come home.
 
Home safety & access:
Self check-in via smart lock keeps arrival simple. Exterior security cameras are in place at the front door and driveway for guest safety and comfort. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit are all present throughout the home. Free residential garage parking for 2 vehicles is available on-site, with free street parking also available. Long-term stays are welcome.

Note: A pet fee of $99 per pet applies.

We arrived to a clean home that was in good shape and well maintained. My family enjoyed the pool and the location was central to many of the theme parks and activities we had planned for the week. The back porch is great for relaxing. I’ve stayed at many VRBOs and this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Definitely recommend if you’re visiting Ocala.

The house was incredibly clean and comfortable! The property and outside area was beautiful! We didn’t bring our dogs but it is nice to know we can and you can’t even tell dogs have stayed there they’ve taken such good care of the place! I highly recommend this VRBO to anyone staying in Ocala!

The house is nice and well stocked. Seems to be in the middle of remodeling the kitchen or replacing the floors in the kitchen while we were there. House is very clean and yard is huge for your dog. Would stay again. If your checking in late make sure to verify the door code is what they say it is before you arrive. We ended up having to spend our first night in a hotel after not being able to check in from the door code being wrong. VRBO refunded us a bit of the cost and the host refunded the night we ended up not being able to stay in the house. Again the house is great just making sure no one runs into the check in issue we did. Its a great rental.

We had another return visit to the area and of course we chose Henry’s. We love the central location in Ocala while visiting family and friends. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. The backyard is huge with the pool, the available grill to cook on, and the fire pit to enjoy a nice fire at night. Let’s not forget the playroom with the pool table. Great place, perfect location from town or the villages will return again soon. Perfect place if you have pets or kids or both.

this was a wonderful place to stay, and I would definitely stay again. Henry’s Hideaway was clean had plenty, had plenty of room, and things to do. Our host was very responsive. We were in town for a funeral, unfortunately. There was a lot of running around to prepare for it and then of course the funeral itself, so unfortunately we didn’t get to stay at the home to enjoy it a lot. We will probably be coming back to work with settling the state, and visiting family., If so, I would definitely try to book it again.

Our stay was perfect! Everything we needed/wanted was right there all in one. The kids had the best time swimming and using the game room. My husband and I enjoyed the screened in patio area to watch football. We dined as a family out on the patio as well. I fell in love with the comfort of the couch and master bed! Couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay for our family weekend get a way! Thank you for sharing your lovely comfy home!!

Silver Springs Visit

We traveled with toddlers and they had the best time swimming in the pool, running in the backyard, and playing in the game room. The house was set up perfectly for a family getaway. We have listed the house as on of our favorites and we hope to be back in the future. We highly recommend Henry’s Hideaway!

Perfect In Every Way

This property was exactly as described and as seen in the photos. The host couldn't have thought of anything else to make our stay more enjoyable. Our dog absolutely loved the huge fenced in backyard. Although, it was just me, my husband and our dog, this house is perfect for a large family. We will be back when in the area.

Amazing Pet Friendly Property

The house is exactly as pictured but the pictures don't really do it justice! It is a beautiful property with so much to do, you don't really need to go anywhere else. But if you do, things are close by! Grocery store - 8 min, The Canyons Zip Lining - 25 min, Silver Springs - 20 min. It was also so nice to be able to bring it pups along. I think they had a much fun as we did!!
