Country Chalet Inn is a charming 3-star motor inn nestled in the quiet outskirts of Ocala, Florida. The lodge offers a serene retreat for travelers seeking a natural setting close to famous springs and lush parks. Its rustic French chalet-inspired rooms feature hardwood floors and cozy fireplaces, complementing the laid-back rural environment. Ideal for families, pet owners, and nature lovers, the inn provides easy access to several state parks including Rainbow Springs State Park, renowned for its clear natural springs and picnic areas. The location is both accessible and secluded, surrounded by farms and rolling hills, yet just a short drive from downtown Ocala and everyday essentials.
Guests appreciate the private entrances to select units and the tasteful decor that invites relaxation after a day of exploring local attractions. The presence of a fenced dog run and proximity to a golf course add to the outdoor appeal. While the inn lacks an on-site restaurant and fitness center, it compensates with free parking and Wi-Fi, pet-friendly accommodations, and family-friendly rooms. Practical amenities such as an in-room fridge and air-conditioning ensure a comfortable stay in a no-frills, authentic setting.

“My husband, son and I spent Valentine's Day weekend here, with our Labrador. The room is gorgeous. The chinking in the log wall and beautiful hard wood floor made it feel like the mountains. This was Unit 4. I absolutely love it. We are "old school" and doing everything on the phone was somewhat challenging, but we did see one of the innkeepers. He was very nice. Quite certain we will be going back,.... hopefully in the very near future.”
“This place was amazing. The room was fabulous and definitely had a French chalet feel. Loved being surrounded by hills and farms. The innkeepers were extremely nice. The grounds was beautifully decorated. There was a goat farm behind the grounds which was fun to watch. Will definitely recommend. My friend was supposed to stay there but made the mistake by staying in a big name hotel in a more bustling area and regretted it when she visited us. You will not be disappointed. There is a store right up the road where you can buy groceries and other necessary items for your stay.”
“We came out for the weekend to get away from the city and technology. This is my job and you’d be surprised how much seclusion, nature, and no screens can drastically improve your wellbeing. If this sounds like you, this is for you. We stayed in #5. I never met the owners in person. So the tech is in the right places. You buy, get a code. Bada boom. The tub and shower are large and great! The fireplace is a great touch. While there is a TV, it isn’t the main focal point and that was great. We extended our stay. We visited 4 springs all within a 20 minute to 1 hour and a half ride. Gas station right next to it so access to what you need but secluded enough that it’s enjoyable. We will be returning.”
“I got a room here for a weekend trip to the springs for my husband's birthday. It really was such a great experience. It was my husband, son, and myself staying. The room was huge, the bathroom itself was also huge with a walk-in shower, and jacuzzi tub. Our room had two beds, both very comfortable!! The little fridge was really nice to have so we could store our lunch stuff for the springs. The motel itself isn't far at all from Rainbow Springs, nor is it far from Silver springs. There are actually a wide variety of springs near that area. We ended up going to three. There is a really cute drive in theater about 15 minutes away from the motel too. There's really no shortage of things to do nearby, it's in a nice location. I liked that it wasn't smack dab in the middle of town, very nice and quiet. Needless to say we will definitely be back!!!”
“We ended up booking 7 nights here at the Country Chalet Inn after traveling down from NH and our other accommodations fell through. We rented Unit 7 which is the efficiency, so we had a full kitchen, fridge, dining nook and couch. Kitchen was reasonably stocked with everything we needed to make meals at the room when not visiting with family. We were provided plenty of towels and wash cloths for both the kitchen and the bathroom. Basic cleaning and hygiene supplies were included in the kitchen as well as bathroom. This room, and the others, has access to the courtyard area as well as a fenced in dog run. We didn't utilize this, but saw others enjoying themselves out there. Unit 7 has a seperate private entrance which was very nice as we were in and out early and late. There is a Dollar General store just up the road and you can be in downtown Ocala in 15/20 minutes where you will find anything else you may need. This location is very well located for traveling east to west or north to south. We spent several days swimming in various natural springs in the area. Alexander Springs over in Altoona being my favorite. Be sure to check out Rainbow Springs which is just down the road from the Chalet. This place may not be fore everyone, but I highly encourage giving it a try if you think it may be a fit for you. It is also priced very reasonably.”
