Wonderful property, location and Jonah was a great host. Very knowledgeable of restaurants and access to the springs. Couldn't have been a better trip. Thank you Jonah

The highlight of our stay at the Little Slice of Paradise Ranch was the outdoor space. Honestly, my family could have just visited this house as the main attraction, although visiting the nearby Springs was a bonus. Jonah was such a gracious host as was his wife. My girls absolutely loved spending every minute available with the goats, feeding the horses, and doing whatever they were doing in the chicken coop. Jonah provided us with fresh eggs, which was a much appreciated welcome gift. We enjoyed outdoor cooking and hanging out around the fire at night. It’s always a bonus when The kids would rather wake up and feed the goats, than jump on their electronics. We are already planning next visit, and have many friends requesting information- everyone is obsessed with our pictures of the goats! Another bonus is that although this house feels secluded, quiet and private, every store you can think of is within a 15 minute drive.

Jonah and his ranch were incredible. Jonah was a tremendous host. As kind as they come and willing to go above and beyond with hesitation. His property is beautiful and a special experience. With horses, goats, scenery, and some of the biggest oak trees Iv ever seen. It was an absolute pleasure sitting outside early in the morning or late in the evening while reading my book, enjoying my coffee, and just enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. My wife and kids loved petting the horses and watching the baby goats run around and play.
Location was perfect for the vacation we were looking for. It was right down the street from crystal clear Florida springs where the whole family had an amazing time swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling. It was also a short 40 min drive from the parks in Orlando ( we took the kids to sea world one of the days). However Apopka and the area surrounding Jonah’s ranch is beautiful enough that you can stay here the whole time and enjoy yourself. We saw wild deer, wild turkey, and gopher tortoises a few blocks away from the house.
A truly incredible and memorable family vacation where we created memories that’ll last a lifetime

It felt like we were visiting family, warm, inviting, convenient and the generosity of our host Jonah was the icing on the cake. A very pleasant experience and one of our best VRBO rentals of the many we have had and highly recommend.

Everything about this place was amazing! The goats and chickens and horses where the highlight of the trip! We were able to explore many locations in the area since everything was so close! We would definitely come back again, just with more carrots (:

We had a very relaxing anniversary weekend. We loved watching all of the animals by the firepit. Jonah was the friendliest host and was helpful with things to do and places to eat. We have already booked another stay!!!

We had a wonderful time. Jonah will treat you like family. It is so peaceful and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the outdoor firepit prepared and lit by the host. The goats and horses are friendly, and love apples and carrots. Jonah will also provide you with farm eggs. Cannot say enough good things about this stay. If you are visiting the theme parks you are only 30-45 minutes away. We will definitely return.

A slice of paradise is an under statement, this place was heaven. Jonah was the perfect host. He had farm fresh eggs in the fridge when we arrived and had more for us when we ran out. The property has the perfect amound of shade and sun. It was so quiet at night that we slept the best we slept in a long time. I could go on and on but i will definitely be sharing this place with coworkers and recommending it to everyone.

We loved this rental! It was extremely clean and had everything we needed. We used the kitchen to make breakfast. The owner, Jonas even left farm fresh eggs in the refrigerator. The host was great with communication, he met us at check in and showed us everything in the rental. The best part was the pasture with the animals and the fire pit. We interacted with goats, horses, and a pig. If you need a place to stay in this area, don’t hesitate to book this one. The fire pit was super nice in the evenings - sitting out there and making s’mores was great.

What a wonderful place to relax! Jonah was an amazing host and couldn't do enough for us. It was just what the doctor ordered, a well needed rest for all. It was so fun seeing the goats and horses and the bon fire at night was beautiful. We had some delicious smores! It was pretty neat how you were in the country but stores were nearby as well as places to kayak and tubing. I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Jonah!

I'll start off by saying Jonah is the absolute best host I've ever had in a VRBO or any other rental property. He is very welcoming, shows you around and gives you eggs from his chickens. He makes sure you have a great stay.
The property is also amazing. Kids played with the goats and horses. The fire pit area is also great. The location is perfect for those that are visiting the Springs. You're 10 min away from Wekiwa and Rock springs. If you're thinking of booking this property, stop thinking about it and do it. You'll thank me later.

This trip exceeded our expectations. We captured some fantastic lifetime memories. Arriving at the house, John gave us a tour of his property and let us know all the hot spots around the neighborhood. The kids fed the goats, saw the chickens, and petted the horses. The best of all, this place is between 2 beautiful natural springs!! I recommend it to all my friends and family, and we will return as soon as possible.
Thank you so much

We absolutely loved staying at this property. My two kids (4 and 7 years old) had a blast feeding the goats and horses. The host was very helpful and he even had fresh eggs waiting for us from his chickens. The fire pit was spacious, and the grilling area was outstanding. This small farm is a hidden gem, if you are looking for a quiet outdoor retreat. It’s is just minutes away from Kelly Park, which makes it easier to beat the crowds!

Jonah and his wife provided the perfect getaway for my wife and I and our two dogs. The property is beautiful and the perfect escape from daily distractions. Jonah’s goats and horses were friendly and entertaining! The proximity to the local state park and springs is perfect. The home was very clean and was even stocked with a dozen fresh eggs from Jonah’s chickens! Jonah made sure to stack wood for the fire pit and went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. My wife and I will definitely be returning to stay on the property again. Thank you Jonah for the hospitality!

This property is in the heart of Apopka but yet is a rural farm retreat. Owner is on property in main house and is a fantastic host. Our Dog loved running with the goats and chickens and we enjoyed the retreat from the city commotion. Owner prepared bonfires for us each night and property was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this property if visiting the area.

Great stay. I have worked in the hotel industry for 37+ years and our host needs to come out of retirement and come work for me. He could teach some of or younger associates a thing or two about hospitality. Great stay, the pictures don't do it justice. Close to everthing but far enough away as well. Go enjoy this Slice Of Paradise.

We stayed 3 nights and it really felt like home! Jonah was the best host. Always willing to lend a hand if we needed anything. He was kind enough to share his property with our family. My 9yr old loved to tend to the goats daily and visit the chickens. Our dogs were welcomed and encouraged to run free and have fun as well. I will most definitely stay here again in the future.

I would tell everyone to stay here. Lovely area. Very private. Was central to where we were going. I can not say enough good about the hosts and the house. We even had a Christmas tree. I miss it all already. I will have to go down again. The sooner the better.

I rented this property to have my daughters 13th birthday. Jonah was helpful before I even arrived. He responded quickly to my questions and fulfilled all my requests. Once we arrived he greeted us and gave us a tour. The place was extremely clean and very nice on the inside. During our stay he was by far the most accommodating host I have ever had. My family has stayed in many VRBO rentals. No other host has ever been a Jonah. His property is more beautiful than the pictures show and his goats are the sweetest. My daughters birthday was absolutely perfect all thanks to Jonah and this property. We hope to go back and stay just for a relaxing weekend again in the future.

This place was amazing, the feel of a country home but just minutes away from everything. Jonah the owner was very accommodating its a 2/2 home but there is also a air mattress. Very peaceful place, definitely will be back.

Jonah was beyond accommodating. He allowed us to feed the goats and made sure we had a fire going at night for us. His place is exactly as it states a little piece of paradise! We will be back! So close to beautiful springs and parks too. We also got to see lots of deer, cows, turkeys, and owls. Absolutely such an amazing place to unplug.

Perfect escape for families
We very much enjoyed finding such a nice place for our family away from the crowded areas of Central Florida but close enough to enjoy everything we wanted. Our son loved seeing the animals and we were able to relax with family and invite them to relax with us.
