We had a great vacation stay at this home. Our dog loved the fenced in yard and our son loved the kayaks and canoe. We were on the lake fishing and paddling every day.
Thank you for the quiet and peaceful stay in your Crystal River home. Your home was exactly as you advertised. The lake views reminded us of home and the sunsets were stunning.
Cottage Like Stay with Perfect Lake Rousseau Views!
We love Lake Rousseau and this place makes enjoying it easy. The dock has kayaks, a rowboat and fishing poles available. We had fires most nights, the yard is fully fenced so perfect for our Bernedoodle. We're a family of three so plenty of space and the kitchen was beyond well stocked to try a few new recipes crockpot dishes. Washer dryer work great, strong shower water pressure. While an older home, everything has been maintained. 20-ish minutes to Dunnellon and Crystal River... we'd book again after a week stay!
We stayed at this super cute property as I am recovering from knee surgery and we recently lost one of our dogs. We needed a change of scenery for ourselves and our other dog. This was a perfect reset out in nature. Reading, fishing, afternoon naps, and campfires. So thankful for this little piece of heaven.
This property is a jewel. Interior was decorated beautifully. We enjoyed every minute we were there. The water view was totally visible from the family room area. The house was spotless when we arrived, with everything we needed for our stay.
Our senior dog enjoyed the enclosed fenced yard.
Can't wait to return for another visit.
Was just perfect for me. Enjoyed the home and the nice comfortable beds and atmosphere. Grill worked great and outdoor area was amazing. Fire pit was a huge hit.
We enjoyed our stay. It was only a short drive to Crystal River and the views of the lake are beautiful. We were able to bring our four legged family members with us and the fenced in yard was great for them. There are also walking trails and a boat launch just minutes away. It was a nice getaway, very quiet and tranquil.
We chose to spend our 28th annni in this adorable cottage. Very welcoming and homey. Amy provides everything you could possibly need - except for the fish that allegedly live in the lake.😆 The view of the the sunsets was a welcome surprise. We had a minor glitch when we arrived but Amy was very responsive and helpful. Can’t complain about this place. Nice getaway!
