Welcome to Fauna Chalet in Ocala, FL
Your ideal destination for unforgettable nature vacations!
A cozy little home escape that is as exciting as it is relaxing. Nestled into the forest of the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway in Ocala, we have a cottage and 2 cabins with different floor plans, all with decks, picnic tables, grills, and luxury appointments inside. There are a multitude of fun, healthy, and adventurous activities in the area. At whimcycletrail.com, 3085 SE 95th St. in Ocala. The vibe is about biking, hiking, walking, and talking. The community campfire area is a great place to wind down from a long day on the trails. At Whimcycle Trail, we are much more than an RV park geared for bicycling; we are also a year-round small home community with a ton of charm. Beautifully nestled and facing a giant 350-year-old oak tree. This location and the town of Ocala itself were my inspiration for Fauna Chalet, a whimsically bougie cottage rental stay.
