Family 3BR retreat w/ pool & game room
Welcome to Henry's Hideaway - a wiener dog-themed Ocala retreat on 1.5 fenced acres where families, friends & pups all belong!
- Sleeps 9 | 3 bedrooms | 5 beds | 2 baths - Private pool (open year-round, not heated) & screened lanai w/ dining for 8 - Detached game room w/ pool table, 60-game arcade & 55" Smart TV - Fire pit, gas grill & outdoor dining in a fully fenced backyard - Pet-friendly - $99/pet - Mins to Silver Springs, World Equestrian Center & downtown Ocala
Three bedrooms, five beds, two baths, a detached game room, and a pool sitting on 1.5 fully fenced acres - Henry's Hideaway is the kind of place where schedules loosen and togetherness takes over. Families, friend groups, and well-loved dogs are all welcome here.
Somewhere between the live oaks and the open sky of Florida's horse country, Henry's Hideaway sits on 1.5 fully fenced acres with a backyard built for making memories - afternoons that drift from the pool to the game room, evenings that end around a fire pit, and mornings with nowhere to be. The wiener dog theme runs through every corner of this Ocala retreat, setting the tone for a stay that's easy, fun, and genuinely welcoming - to families, friend groups, and four-legged guests alike.
Indoor living Inside, the open-concept layout feels immediately at home. High beamed ceilings stretch above a generous sectional and recliner, all arranged around a 65-inch HDTV that handles movie nights and lazy Florida evenings with equal ease. Central air conditioning, central heating, and ceiling fans keep every room comfortable whatever the weather brings. An indoor fireplace adds a warm focal point on cooler nights, and a fully dedicated workspace - complete with ergonomic chair, laptop stand, and surge protector - means remote workers can stay productive without giving up the holiday feel. Board games, outlet covers, and a baby safety gate make the space just as practical for families as it is for everyone else.
Sleeping arrangements Three bedrooms and five beds sleep up to nine guests. Two king beds and three twin beds keep the group well-rested, with room-darkening blinds, extra pillows and blankets, and cotton bed linens throughout. A queen pull-out sofa in the detached game room adds useful flexibility for larger groups.
Kitchen & dining The fully equipped kitchen is set up for anything from quick breakfasts to full group dinners. Samsung stainless steel appliances - refrigerator, oven, and electric stove - are paired with a dishwasher, microwave, hot water kettle, blender, toaster, and a mini fridge. A drip coffee maker and Keurig coffee machine have mornings covered, and wine glasses, a baking sheet, and barbecue utensils take care of everything else. When the weather cooperates - and in Ocala it usually does - move it all outside to the screened lanai, where a dining table seats eight with pool views and room to linger long after the meal.
Outdoor living The backyard is where Henry's Hideaway really comes to life. The private above-ground pool is open year-round and available around the clock - four feet deep and perfect for a warm-weather cool-down. Please note the pool is not heated. Steps away, the detached climate-controlled game room is a destination in its own right: an 8-foot pool table, a 60-game arcade, a 55-inch Smart TV, life-size games, and a mini fridge mean the fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. Come evening, the fire pit and gas grill come into their own - settle into the outdoor furniture, cook something over the flame, and let the Florida night do the rest.
Family & pets Henry's Hideaway is built for the whole crew. A crib, pack 'n play, and standalone high chair are all available on request, and children's dinnerware, outlet covers, and a baby safety gate are already in place. Your dogs are more than welcome - pet fees are $99 per pet. The fully fenced 1.5-acre backyard gives them room to roam, and the washer and dryer keep longer stays practical. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, and exterior Ring security cameras at the front door and driveway provide peace of mind from the moment you arrive.
Location Henry's Hideaway sits just minutes from downtown Ocala, Silver Springs State Park, and the World Equestrian Center - putting nature trails, kayaking, dining, and local attractions well within reach. Smart lock self-check-in, free two-car garage parking, free street parking, and reliable Wi-Fi take care of the logistics, leaving you free to focus on what actually matters.

Loved it, great place to just relax and have family time. Plenty of room and plenty of fun. The dogs loved the big backyard, the kids loved the pool and game room. I loved the screened in sun room with tv.
Just like the photos. VERY clean, beds were comfy. I loved sitting on the back porch watching football with the family. 7 of us stayed, 4 adults and 3 teen boys, having 2 kings and 3 twins was perfect. Rooms were big, could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you!
Thank you for a lovely house to stay at!! It made our week full of swim competition relaxed and enjoyable!!
We appreciated the super clean house!!!
We loved the house and the location. We will definitely stay there again if it is available.
Thank you 😎.
We loved the home! Very clean, exactly as advertised, maybe even better. Incredible back yard. Set up for pets although we didn’t bring ours. Everything provided that we needed. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
We booked before any hurricanes and stayed during Milton and power outage occurred for maybe six hours while sleeping. The stay was very pleasant and wonderful for my family. We enjoyed pool time swimming to pool time in the game room. Wonderful and nice flow through home setup. We would definitely stay again.
My daughter was getting married that weekend and we needed a bigger place for the siblings to stay during the wedding festivities. We could not have asked for a nice place. The home was very clean and appropriately appointed. The host was outstanding in providing all the information everyone needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Do not hesitate to stay at this property.
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.
This was the most relaxing staycation I’ve had.My family and pups enjoyed every moment .As I was driving away on my last day I already was missing Henry’s Hideout .Mary was a great communicator and amazing host . We truly appreciate letting us stay in this lovely home .
Every single detail was taken into consideration even doggy bowls and doggy towels .
Thank you
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!
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.
Henry’s hideaway was very welcoming. The kitchen was stocked with all tools to cook our family meals. Nicely decorated with plenty of seating. Easy to get in and out of. We enjoyed the yard, the pool and had a campfire our last night.
Stayed with wife and friends and our doggies. Everything about the property is wonderful and as advertised. We will be booking here again for our next trip to Ocala, Fl for sure!!
Had such a great time!! Very nice and peaceful place to stay!! The Family enjoyed the pool and game room!! Very convenient location to everything we wanted to do and see. Mary was a great host!!
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.
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!
