To the west down the Withlacoochee, you will see nature at its finest with otters playing, turtles basking and majestic cypress trees swaying in the wind. To the west still are miles and miles of Wetlands with a navigable channel through it all and with a vast array of wildlife, it is truly a beautiful site to see and it’s all directly accessible from our dock.

Ladies Weekend in Paradise

I can not express how impressed I was with this property. It was perfect for our ladies retreat and it was even more fabulous than I imagined. The place was very clean, the furniture was nice, and comfortable and I could not have asked for a better place to have our gathering. Heather was beyond flexible from beginning to end. I will definitely get this VRBO again! WE ALL LOVED IT!

Perfect house, all the amenities and a very special place

Having grown up in Florida, we were looking for a quiet bend in the river with enough space and comforts for a multi-family getaway. We were more than impressed with the house. Very spacious with a nice layout and very good quality amenities. Huge common areas and a great kitchen plus an amazing riverfront patio, fire pit and dock, and a heated pool. The host was very kind and responsive. It was everything we were looking for and we hope to go back in the future. Great spot.

Peaceful family visit, beautiful views

We came here to celebrate my parents 40th anniversary and had just a wonderful weekend with the most beautiful views of the river. Both the kids and the adults loved the pool table and game room. Our hosts were so accommodating and welcoming; already planning another visit up here with friends!

Excellent river house

The home is perfect for that family who wants to boat, fish, grill, swim, play pool & foosball, play board games or just relax & watch the river. There wasn't a boring or unenjoyable moment. We rented a pontoon for the day that is literally 10 min away fron the house. The house was spotless & had everything we needed during our stay. This home is very easy to get to & close to anything you may need during your stay. Of the many homes we've rented over the last few years, this is one of our favorites.

Relaxing Weekend Stay

We had a lovely time staying on the river. The house was large, and we had ample room to have fun and relax. The kids loved the pool table and had a blast fishing. We visited KP hole for kayaking and enjoyed a relaxing day on the Rainbow River.

Relaxation on the Withlacoochie

This property is perfect for 10 people.Lots of nice seating inside and out. Pool table, kayaks, canoes, bikes. And any kitchen appliance you could think of. Big pots and pans to cook for a large family. We loved the view and the deck. Pool was a little chilly!lol, we enjoyed our weekend with our kids and their significant others and my parents. Property was nicely furnished, we enjoyed a fire every night and we visited a fall festival, the rainbow river spring, Swampy's and the Blue Gator. The only downfall this town doesn't have a sports bar with the NFL ticket that we could find.

We had a great time at this property! I would definitely rent it again. The owner had all the kitchen supplies you could need even a crock pot! Very clean when we arrived and check in was easy. Great communication from the owner as well. We had a ball playing pool on your night that was very rainy. We enjoyed the kayaks and the fishing and it was very close to rainbow springs for tubing.

Secluded getaway

We highly recommend this house and would stay here again if we are in the area. It is in a quiet neighborhood on the river. It was enjoyable to sit outside and take in the view of the river and the boats. The home owners were quick responders when we had questions and provided different items to help get us started to enjoy our stay. The house is very spacious and our family really enjoyed playing pool. The kitchen is fully stocked with all necessary items to cook meals each day. We rented a pontoon boat and easily tied up to the dock when we weren’t using it. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Robinson house!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Robinson

Host profile image
We started visiting this area a few years ago and enjoyed it so much that we decided to purchase it as a get away home as we live in the city and we liked that we could drive a fairly short distance and have the peace and quiet with only the sounds of nature with a lot less population.

Why they chose this property

We would bring our boat up here when we visited and actually saw this house for sale from the water and it was the views that actually made our minds up that this was the property we wanted. Our plan is to retire up here.

What makes this property unique

The other side of the river is unspoiled and you will only see nature at its finest and maybe some river otters at play.
