About this property

Lake Rouseau Waterfront, Wifi, great sunsets, fireplace & fire-pit, pet friendly

This spacious 2 bedroom and 1 bath cottage on Lake Rouseau has everything you need to for a great vacation. Bring your fishing gear or just spend time relaxing. It is located on Crystal River’s premier large base lake. The convenience of the nearby boat ramp will make your fishing easy and fun. You will also have direct access to the Gulf of Mexico from that ramp. Bike or walk the area trails. There are 2 kayaks and a canoe for your use. How about a round of golf after a little fishing, so don’t forget your clubs. There are several championship courses nearby. The open concept of this home is comfortable and great for entertaining. To really appreciate the cottage, take a moment to view our photos. This is truly a place to take pleasure in the outdoors, fishing, hiking, boating or simply watching the sunset.

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!

Retreat from a rough summer

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.

Crystal River getaway

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.

Tranquil Lake House

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.

Lovely getaway cottage

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!
