Heads in beds, horses in stalls, RV’s tucked away for the night with every imaginable service, plus a few you may not have expected. Accommodations include the Acorn cottage, with its perfectly appointed pure, white, wedding night accouterment; the Oak Tree Lodge that sleeps 12 and entertains your friends and family; a host of combination cottages, barns and over-sized RV sites that place you within an arm’s length of your four legged family.
As the dew from the Florida pastures rises to expose rolling fields, fresh cut grass and majestic granddaddy oaks, the distant rhythm of horse steps beating in perfect synchronization will either send you back to blissful slumber or peak your interest in time to see a grand four-in-hand carriage skim by during morning exercises.
The Grand Oaks Resort has so much to offer that, like the Carriage Museum, it will take you hours if not days to fully digest all that is offered to guests. It’s not just an equine facility with the obligatory covered arena, stalls and trails, The Grand Oaks Resort is truly an equine inspired get-a-way that embraces the love of the horse, the land and a formula for relaxation unlike any other.
It is perfect for the entire family, regardless of ones interest in horses. Go fishing, golf is nearby at the famous Villages, enjoy restaurants and revel in the entertainment. The Grand Oaks Resort can embrace the entire family from fishing to riding, carriage lessons to carriage rides. Our mission is to help you relax when you’re not competing, or just relax.
Socializing with the world’s greatest riders and drivers, The Bistro with its restaurant and lounge percolates with lively conversations, live music and a genuine absence of strangers!
The Grand Oaks Resort is special, we promise not to tell too many people before you arrive.
