Dunnellon is minutes away, a charming town with casual dining on the river (we like Swampy's and the very fresh mahi sandwich), boat rentals, canoe or kayak rentals or tubing.
During the winter months, rent a pontoon in Crystal River, about a fifteen minute drive, bring your snorkel gear and swim with the manatees. (The snorkeling is also fabulous in Rainbow Springs).
If you are a golfer, there is an 18 hole great course including wonderful restaurant, just 5 minutes away, and another 9 hole course also 5 minutes away. Both are open to the public.
Many guests rent our home during the HITS events in the winter. HITS is 25 to 30 minutes away.
If you are into fishing, nearby Lake Rousseau is famous for bass fishing. Ocala is a twenty minute drive if you need a city and shopping malls; however, Dunnellon has a great Winn Dixie and Publix less than 5 minutes away, a Walmart that's open 24 hours a day, Walgreens, CVS and more than enough to allow you to enjoy your vacation in a laid back environment.
The people are super friendly. There are many other quaint towns to visit within an hour drive or less, including Weeki Wachee State Park with famous mermaid shows. But you can just swim in Rainbow Springs every day, come back to this home and be perfectly serene, content and fulfilled.
We spent 7 weeks in Dottie & Marti's beautiful home while competing at HITS Horse Show Winter Circuit. Excellent, attentive hosts in a quiet neighborhood including helpful neighbors! The home was spotless, the beds comfortable, and included all necessary appliances for a comfortable stay. Looking forward to staying here again. Convenient to Dunnellon shopping and restaurants, we enjoyed the wooded back yard and neighboring hiking trails. Thank you for a perfect vacation from Wisconsin winter!
My husband and I have stayed in many, many vacation homes over the years, and this stay rates among our favorites.. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful, the home was spacious, well-kept and comfortable and the neighborhood was beautiful. The lanai, overlooking the wooded area behind the house, was spectacular.
This is the cleanest place I have stayed in and I travel almost constantly. The host checked if we needed anything at least weekly. House is LARGE, SPACIOUS, WITH HIGH HIGH CEILINGS, PATIO LARGE AND GREAT FOR ENTERTAINING, neighbors and neighborhood are very friendly. Neighborhood is nice and upscale. Very good vibe. Very close to RIVER, STATE PARKS, AND FUN. I am very very picky and I recommend you stay here. Oh by the way for you ladies - a very large, well appointed kitchen and dining area. It is nicer than the pictures. Stay here you will be happy you did. Kevin
A great place with great hosts. Couldn't have been better if it had been our own home. Home was immaculate and just as it was represented on the site. Zevins were in communication from our initial contact. Dunnellon is home to our annual golf trip and we look forward to staying at the Zevin home for years to come. Jim Stickney
We stayed for a month and have never felt more comfortable in a rental home! The layout is fantastic. Beds are super comfortable. The screened in porch is huge and incredibly private. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Rainbow Springs State Park is literally 8 minutes from the home and has hiking, kayaking, and an incredible spring to swim in. Additionally there are so many kayak and hiking opportunities all within an hours drive. Cedar Key is a beautiful spot right on the gulf that is only an hour away. The owners are a delight and very responsive to any questions.
Very peaceful and comfortable. Some more leftover storage containers would be helpful as we ate in mostly and the dishwasher needs upgrade. Great weather!
Great place. Property owners very easy to communicate with. Will use in the future.
Dotty and Marty were the most kind and thoughtful hosts - there was nothing missing in the house for our long 6 week stay with our newborn baby boy. We adored the house so much we didn’t want to leave and hope to have the opportunity to stay again. It’s immaculate and highly recommended.
The place was great for our family get together. With all the news good, bad, and indifferent for our family and extended family being together is what was needed. So with our stay being about watch golf and chilling at this home just watching Wimbleton, PGA Tour, and a movie it was what the doctor ordered for all of us. A patio of quite peaceful reflection of time together was there for us as well. The early mornings going to the golf course watching our daughter play her first competitive tournament since college golf. Friends coming to the course to support her be with us to support us as well. Marty & Dotty were there for you at every step and they were great host. Can not say enough about the tranquility of the place you two provided for our family. All the best, J. R.
Marty and Dotty have a beautiful home, and it was absolutely perfect for our golf vacation. The home has a HUGE master bedroom, with enough closet space for a small Army! It was very comfortable, very well maintained, and is just as beautiful in person, as it looks in the pictures on the VRBO website. Marty and Dotty are fantastic hosts, and respond to e-mails usually within just a couple of hours. We had a GREAT week and we will definitely come back! Thanks!!!
