About this property
The Harley Hideaway, a Tiny House on the Water
This tiny house has been 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!
The Harley Hideaway is 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 Sparkys. If you want to eat in, groceries are available from the Triple Z market or the Dollar General Market.

The Harley Hideaway was cute and cozy! It had a well stocked kitchen with a full size range and a view of the water from the kitchen window. It was great to be on the water and enjoy the outdoor patio and grill. The owners were highly responsive and the property was very clean and well kept. We will definitely stay here again.
The room was very clean and beautifully curated for Harley fans! My husband and I were very comfortable on the queen bed for four nights. The kitchen was nicely equipped.We cooked breakfasts and some meals. We ate on the patio overlooking the water. Our host Jody was available for questions.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Harley Hideaway! Extremely clean and our hosts were very hospitable. The location was awesome and we intend to stay again! Thanks again!
It was very enjoyable stay. Very clean and quiet stay what we were looking for. We loved the outside area with a great view and using the firepit. Everything we needed was there. Jody was an excellent host answering all questions we had. Would highly recommend this quiet getaway and will be going back again!!!!
Had a terrific stay over Christmas. Everything was as-advertised, and I can see why all the reviews are so positive. The clincher for us was the boat house. We wanted a boating getaway and this was perfect. If you can, go see the manatees in the Glen.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL STAY! THE HARLEY HOUSE WAS PERFECT AND YOU PROVIDED SO MANY AMENITIES!! SO THOUGHTFUL! WE SPENT MANY HOURS ON OUR BOAT CRUISING THE RIVER AND VISITING ALL OF THE SPRINGS!LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING SOME TIME!THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY!

Our stay at Harley Hideaway was just what we needed. We enjoyed the local restaurants and how quiet it was. The
kitchen was equipped with everything you would need. The homemade cookies, snacks and bottle of wine was extra special after a long drive.
Thank you Bob and Jody for a wonderful time, We will recommend to our family and friends. Susie and Randy
Jody and Bob are the best hosts we have come across in our Vrbo stays. They are above the rest. Such an aptly named accommodation, this Harley Hideaway is everything and more. We are a wife and husband with kids off to college, so adventure is our new passion. We so enjoyed the accommodations, and Jody and Bob were so helpful in helping us navigate. They even helped us find places around the area to explore and eat at. This little home is so clean and cute, relaxing and invigorating at the same time. The community is filled with great neighbors and so kind and hospitable. We can't wait to go back. The decor made the stay enjoyable and truly provided a relaxing and fun environment. Jody's homemade chocolate chip cookies during check-in, her tour of the place, and the snacks and wine go above and beyond what one can ever expect. Little extra tip, the place they have next door is larger and great for families and fishermen. We personally loved the little Harley Hideaway for us. Thank you Jody and Bob. See you next year.
It was a great stay! It has everything you need, and felt so cozy my boyfriend and I will definitely be back! It was nice we were able to bring our Jet ski as well!
Such a great place. It’s a tiny house, but it feels quite roomy. Extremely clean and well equipped and organized. Ideal for a single person or a couple. Located in a secure, quiet neighborhood, just short ride to all the areas attractions. The host checked in a couple times making sure all was good. In need of a place to stay, I highly recommend the Harley House!
Cutest little stay for a get away to the beautiful springs! This house was just as pictured so cute and beautiful!! Perfect location in town! Jody was so sweet and responsive and also made us some delicious cookies!
