Location on the river:

Downstairs is a bedroom with both a queen and a single bed, large screened patio, outdoor shower, second full sized refrigerator and a laundry room with full-sized washer/dryer.

Home sleeps 5 comfortably.

    This was our second time staying here and it was even better than the first time. Great location with access to numerous recreational activities outside your door. The Rainbow River is a treasure and we look forward to returning soon.

    We loved spending time at this beautiful river house. we are Native Floridians and loved enjoying true Florida. We went to the grocery store, and never left the property. We enjoyed the springs, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and fishing. Every morning we sat on the dock enjoying the sounds of wild Florida. A true opportunity to refresh. It felt as though we were staying at our extended family home. Thanks, we shall return.

    Perfect location and the property owner genuinely wants you to have a great time. I take my family to Rainbow River every year in the summer to relax and swim in the cool, clear waters. This year we had a great time and enjoyed every aspect of this property. Hope to return here next year. Thank you Mary Ann for being so hospitable!

    Awesome week! Awesome stay! Truly the best location on rainbow river! We used our SUP boards and a kayak every day. But even just sitting on the dock with the breeze blowing was so enjoyable! It rained one day and we sat and watched the rain on the upstairs screened in balcony. House was cozy and comfy. Easy drive to all local businesses. We are already planning a return trip back!

    The great: Probably the nicest location available for rent on the Rainbow River, private and scenic. Located on a large heavily treed and well shaded lot. Forest to the south, river and forest to the north, neighbors on each side not too close. Herons, Ibis, Egrets, Wood ducks, many other water birds and song birds to be watched from the cottage. Also, a herd of deer, wild turkeys, and an armadillo visited. The good: This is an older summer cottage, a little worn, but clean and comfortable. Watch the wildlife from the upper and lower screened porches, or the large dock on the river morning and evening, and the kayaks and tubers during the day. Great direct access for your own kayak. If you bring a boat you can tie up at the dock. Well equipped kitchen and appliances, all in good working order, new Roku TV, you can connect with bluetooth for streaming. The not so good: Internet is slow and intermittent during the day. After dark, good enough for streaming. If you use the lower bedroom, be aware, there is only one small bathroom with toilet and shower on the upper level, on the lower level there is only an outdoor shower. VRBO outside photo is probably 10 years old.
