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.

Our local VFW Post 9986 has a restaurant/bar, welcomes everyone and has plenty of activities to keep you busy.

Astor's brand new free RECREATION PARK contains: pickle ball courts, tennis courts, basketball courts, a soccer field, football field, baseball field, a children's playground, a covered pavilion, a DOG PARK and bathrooms.

Astor's brand new public LIBRARY has many weekly activities for you to enjoy from painting classes to line dance lessons! Be sure to check it out!

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!

Terrific!

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.

Cozy and fun

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.

The Perfect Hideaway!!

WoW, where I we begin? The Harley Hideway was exactly as described. The Harley theme was detailed and spectacular; perfect for me and my husband. The back patio was peaceful, full dock on the canal and easy access to the St. John River. We love the great outdoors so conveniently located to various springs where kayaking is a must, plenty of hiking trails, ziplining, etc. The hosts Jody and Bob were awesome. You can't go wrong!!
