Another Fantastic Time

This is the second year we've come and stayed with friends, and our third year on the Rainbow (first year in a different house). We've been all up and down the river on floats and boats and I can't find a better place to stay on the river. We will be back again next year for sure!

Serenity For Sure!

Amazing house on a beautiful river. Location is perfect and the dock is great for swimming and enjoying other water activities. Approx. 2-hour float to Blue Run.

Great location and river access

We had a party of six with three kids and three adults spending the week playing and floating on the river. It was a great time. We brought two of our kayaks and river tubes and enjoyed floating, kayaking and swimming right off the dock.

Rainbow River Serenity ❤️❤️❤️

We came for 5 days to celebrate my Mother in Laws 70th birthday and had the best time ever. Jo was very helpful. The house is in a super primo spot. We will definitely be coming back.

Great relaxing weekend

We had a great weekend stay! We all really enjoyed kayaking and tubing. You can’t beat the location. We were sad to discover the slide pictured and advertised could not be used…that was very disappointing for the kids.

Amazing Annual Trip to the Rainbow River

We had the most amazing time staying the week after Memorial Day. Wednesday through Friday we enjoyed the peace and quiet and nearly empty river, then get to watch things come alive Friday night through Sunday. We float down every day, paddle up many days, and just have the best time. The house worked out really well for us with two couples staying in the main house and 4 kids staying in the smaller house. Everyone got their own space but we got to come together on the river! Everything we could have wanted was in the house, and Jo was the best host. First time I've ever gotten a walkthrough from a Vrbo host and she was very thorough! We can't wait to come back again next year.

Nice place

Very well equipped and stocked. Good location on river and not far from town/ restaurants if you need anything. We appreciated the firewood for the pit.
