Great location! Wonderful info and communication!

My daughter and I stayed for a week, along with 2 other mother/daughter pairs for a "spring" break getaway. Dunnellon is a great little town, convenient to several springs for day trips/activities. We all loved the private dock and access to the water!

Even better than it looks online

We had a great time, kayaked every day. We saw river otters, rurtles, tons of birds and fish. The house had plenty of room for 8 and the yard and dock were amazing! We will definitely be back. Tom and Kelly were very friendly and responsive to our questions. The owners thoughtfully provide a ton of information if you're not familiar with the area.

Big Group Vacation

We had a wonderful stay here and what continues to be true is that the view makes up for anything that the property might not have. Would recommend if planning any family trips or getaways to the river, nothing beats waking up and getting on a kayak to go down the river.

Perfect and relaxing River getaway

The pictures reflect the property perfectly. The dock and water is where we spent the majority of our time. The double deck created amazing views and the perfect jumping platform, while the lower deck stayed cool and in the shade. It was so relaxing and AMAZING! The only cleanliness issue was the master shower curtain which was really moldy. It is Florida so mold is to be expected. It is probably time to replace that one though.

A little slice of Heaven

This property was a dream. Cozy, clean and comfortable. It had everything you needed for a river getaway. The home is situated in a way that provided plenty of privacy, while being minutes from various amenities. We celebrated a friend's birthday and eveyone who came continues to rave about the experience!

Family Fun

We wanted a place to gather as a family and enjoy time. We got that in Aces! Some family came and went, some stayed. We All enjoyed our time. There were games and puzzles provided for night time entertainment (tournaments, we’re competitive in a good way), a fire pit for s’mores and hotdogs and such. Days were filled with fishing, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding (equipment provided). Of course, the platform from the top deck was in constant use.The wildlife was excellent! Lots of different birds, fish, gators and the otter that fished the lagoon as we watched was really cool. We’re Floridians and outdoor enthusiasts, so we know to be respectful of our environment as well as aware of surroundings. The experience was everything we wanted. You will find the home comfortable and well equipped. If you are looking for fancy, this ain’t it, but it IS exactly what casual river life feels like.

Relaxing

Enjoy being out on the covered deck during rainstorms. The property landscaping gave privacy and allowed our group to relax alone or with others as desired. No need to turn on the television as just looking out the windows or sitting on the decks provided live entertainment with the wildlife all around. Easy walking distance to a great donut shop and the historic downtown. Don Peppe was one of the best Mexican Restaurants any of us have ever eaten at just 5 minutes from the house. The Singing River Tour was worth it. Great local guys with in depth knowledge of the area.

Awesome River Vacation

We loved this house. Absolutely amazing! We spent 3 days enjoying Rainbow Springs River right out back every day. All the beds were very comfortable. The house had all the kitchen utensils and cook where you will need. The views were awesome. Very quiet area. Owner is awesome to talk to answered all our questions and gave us all kinds of tips. It was a well deserved couple of days of pure relaxation and fun! We are already booking again next May. The Kovacs Family

Great Week on Rainbow River

We spent the week swimming at the dock, kayaking around the Rainbow River in the provided kayaks and canoes (4 single kayaks, 2 double kayaks, and 1 canoe), and exploring both the Rainbow River and the nearby Crystal River. The house came with everything needed to have a good time on the river. The host called the night of check in just to make sure everything was OK and to give tips on the area and how to have a good time while there. I would definitely choose this place again.

Loved it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the Rainbow River. From the porch and kayaks we saw sandhill crane adults and babies, river otters, osprey, fish, turtles, other cranes, even a small alligator! We loved jumping off the dock and then relaxing on it just watching the wildlife. Manatees were only 23 minutes away on the Crystal River and amazing. The river boat tour was also a hit. My adult sons canoed up the river a bit and then snorkeled back to the house!

Beautiful river

We rented this home to be able to visit with family in the area and hang out on rainbow river. We rarely stayed at the house except to sleep. The house is an older house but suited our purpose since we were on the river all day. House needs updating and ants were a problem which they must be aware of since there was any spray available. For the price and for our needs, we were satisfied with our stay.
