We so enjoy sitting on the screened in porch & watching the river go by. My husband & his brother loved kayaking on the river. We stay at a lot of VRBO 's & this one is clean, spacious, well-equipped & comfy. We love this spot!! Access to golf, seafood & beach!!

Great location for fishing trips

This home was so relaxing and beautiful. Being right on the river our kids had a ton of fun. Was the perfect location for our fishing trip as the marina is just a short distance away. Rick was very helpful and responded immediately to any questions we had. We will stay here again!

River Pleasure

Wonderful host. Easy access to many springs, parks, beaches and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with all the tools you will need. The local pub is fun and the "Blackwater" restaurant had very fine prepared Grouper and Snapper entrees. Easy drive to many of the Gulf harbors and springs. Spotless accommodation.

Excellent and Comfortable Home with a View

This very clean and well-appointed home was a pleasure for our family of three to enjoy for a week. We loved sitting out on the screened-in porch and watching the variety of birds that call this area home. The kitchen has any cooking implement you might need and we enjoyed many home-cooked meals. We wished the charcoal grill was a gas grill which would have allowed us to do more grilling however, we were very happy with the kitchen. Bathrooms were comfortable with each having two separate sinks and good shower (shampoo and condition included!). Air conditioning worked well though, mostly we kept it off as we opened the sliding door for fresh air. All in all, we had a wonderful stay at this peaceful, comfortable and well-situated river house.

Beautiful, tranquil, and relaxing.

Spend a quiet, relaxing weekend with friends for memorial day. The home was spotless and well appointed. The only suggestion would be a queen in the second bedroom versus the twins. For two couples it was a little awkward with a Murphy bed. Perfect for family style. Had everything we needed for cooking at home. Owners left great notes about local restaurants & things to do.

Quiet Paradise

I can’t say enough about this diamond tucked on the river in Yankeetown. The home is gorgeous, spotless, well-equipped, and close enough to Crystal River, but far from the crowds. There’s not a lot to do if you are a social butterfly, but for us it was perfect. We read, rested, walked, biked, kayaked, and swam with the manatees. This house has everything you could possibly need for a great get away. The little town is lovely, the people are nice. We had a pizza the first night from Our Pub down the street. It’s a little locals dive where the pizza is hot and the beer is cold. We made reservations and ate at the Blackwater Restaurant that is literally two minutes away. It’s waterfront and upscale. I had the chef’s special which was snapper. We drove to Captain Mike’s Swimming with the Manatees in Crystal River and enjoyed a private manatee swim. Everything you need for a nice kayaking day on the river is right beneath the house. The screened in porch was perfect for reading and relaxing. We will definitely stay here again. Don’t sleep on this beautiful experience.

Wonderful Residence on the River

We stayed here for 4 nights and we had a wonderful time. The residence is modern and comfortable. The main bedroom has its own bathroom and the bed is comfortable. The second bedroom has two beds and an adjacent bathroom The home was clean and as promised. It is located on a quiet part of the Withlacooche River. The owners were friendly and responsive. There is a nice back upstairs screened patio which looks over the River and the boat dock. The kitchen is modern and well appointed. We were very pleased and hope to return as we have family in the area and stay up that way often.

Beautiful Property!

Very cozy and very clean house! We absolutely loved it! Probably the most comfortable beds we ever slept on at VRBO rentals--totally agree with most of the reviews here. Excellent location- very quiet and private, lots of mature trees and right on the water. Kayaking and fishing there was so much fun. Our teen son caught a huge Red fish with captain Eric Hasty. We saw manatee right from the lanai one morning. Great communication with owner Rick, we had no problems during our stay, it was very relaxing and very enjoyable. One of our favorite properties, highly recommend it!

Relaxing and Beautiful

This is a wonderful place to stay. It is located on the Withlacooche River in Yankeetown and it has a nice upstairs screened back patio that looks over the River and the boat dock. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood and just a few blocks away from a great restaurant. The master bedroom has a comfortable bed and a nice shower and bathroom. The second bedroom has two beds and its own bathroom and shower. This is a great area for fishing, boating, kayaking, running, walking, bike riding, or just relaxing. The owners are friendly and very responsive. We have relatives in the area and we stay up this way often, and we hope to return in the near future.

Wonderful getaway!

Had a wonderful time at the Withlacoochee River House! The house was as beautiful as it appears in the listing and had everything you could need. It was quiet and relaxing and we enjoyed the location very much. Wr spent a lot of time kayaking and enjoying the river and it is very convenient and easy to bring a boat, as there are multiple boat launches close by ($5 to use the launch). We are looking forward to coming back!

Girls Trip on the River

Stayed here for a long ladies weekend on the river. It was great! We got to see alligators from the dock every day & really enjoyed the screened in porch. The beds are all very comfortable & the linens were super soft. We also found some bean bag chairs in a closet & loved being able to bust those out for movie night. The extra kayaks were a huge plus, but we didn't get a chance to use them. We all agreed that pictures don't do this property justice- its gorgeously decorated & the little touches like LED faucets that light up were pretty neat! The floating dock is well maintained as is the landscaping, the yard is beautiful. So peacefully quiet in this neighborhood, we soaked in the symphony of nature on the river every night playing cards on the balcony. The property is close to every thing you need & Blackwater Restaurant just a couple mins down the road was soo delicious- highly recommend you treat yourself to the bacon wrapped scallops there. Rainbow River & Crystal River were lovely & we appreciated being able to do everything we wanted & not have to drive very far to experience it all! We would definitely stay here again. I only leave four stars because the floors were fairly dirty despite us not wearing our shoes in the house (we all had black feet bottoms on the first night), fridge still had food items in it from the previous stay & the guest bedroom & bathroom had a musky /sweaty odor that we could not get rid of. We also did not have enough dishwasher pods (two) for a long weekend with five people & had to go buy some. Our bathrooms only had one extra toilet paper roll in them each & less than half roll on the holder, but thankfully one of us brought some along. If I can make any small recommendation it would be to provide more cleaning supplies clorox wipes/pods & toilet paper that isn't one ply. Besides the few cleanliness critiques, this place is PERFECT & we *each* plan on returning with our families some day- it was impressive!

Black water beauty

The pictures are a great representation. The peace and quiet is off the charts. That river is so calming. We used the kayaks and brought two more. We tried to fish, I guess we did just no luck catching anything. The grill was a nice little Webber grill. We stayed four nights. We ate dinner at the black water restaurant right down the road and the food was delicious! Rainbow river is 20 minutes east and worth the drive. Crystal river has ice cream - dockside ice cream shoppe. I do not think you could find a better and more friendly place to indulge. This home felt safe and clean. We did not use Murphy bed. The king bed and two twins used by adults were comfortable. The bedding is quality. Kitchen had everything we needed. hope to come back.
