Great property. Would visit again.
The home was lovely, spacious and clean. The furnishings were nice, inviting and comfortable. The home had everything we needed. It is a short paddle to the main river. I highly recommend a stay!
The house was beautiful and very spacious. I have wanted to return to FL and it’s clear spring rivers for a few years and wanted an alternative to a hotel. The large three bedrooms made it more relaxing and accommodating for my wives and myself. Each room offering restful privacy. I had zero problems with neighbors, loud animals or any excessive noise. Access to water was great and two nice kayaks provided with the house. Confused by a previous review involving man eating canines and traumatized service animals. Service animals my ass. Service animals don’t get aggressive and just because you don’t want to leave the mutt at home doesn’t classify him as a service animal. “In-Breds “ Am I right? The property is great and Dunnellon a wonderful little town with some great eateries and shops. Rainbow spring head just a short drive and it is a paradise. My wives are already wanting a return trip later this year. If you’re family is more than a few…this is the place.
We stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect! Its ight on an inlet to the river, and just a 2 minute paddle to rainbow River. The host was very helpful and stayed in touch throughout our trip. The house had every immensity we needed. We would stay there again!
Every aspect of the check and stay at this amazing home was one of the best I’ve ever had! Thank you
My family and I haven't been able to get together for several years now, due to extremely immune comprised situations with multiple family members (cancer), so we were so excited to finally get together after 2 years!! I arrived before my family so I could train my new service dog to be out on the water with me. Training a service animal is a very intensive thing, that requires a calm non distracting environment. The first day, I unloaded and went straight to the water with my paddleboard and service dog (Rin). We were met by an extremely overgrown hillside, barely accessible Tupperware dock, and the neighbors German Shephard. The grassy areas all around the house had poison ivy and oak. The overgrowth around the dock area was a thriving home for wolf spiders, a family member was bit by one trying to get in the kayak!! You can NOT fit a 12 ft paddleboard or kayak next to the Tupperware dock comfortably, due to extreme overgrowth. (The neighbor was nice enough to clear out some of the overgrowth on her side of the hill and dock for us) When I was trying to drop my board and start training my service animal, I got to the deck before the stairs and immediately was greeted to a viscous German Shephard, I am an animal person so I thought if I talk nice to him and then ignore him, it would be alright... No. The wooden 2x4 frame of the fence did NOT even come up to his chest!! In some places, there wasn't even a fence, just PLASTIC BIRD NETTING layered up!! This dog would growl, bark angrily, drool, and jump up on the fence to try and get to you and my service dog every time we were out, attempting to get on the dock was impossible for my service dog while he was out. At one point the dog went as far and coming out of his fence to his dock (which is directly next to the Tupperware dock) myself, Rin, and a family member ran into the house in fear. Later that day the neighbor came out and spoke to us about her dog... She kindly let us know that her dog would EAT us ALIVE and we were lucky!! That I just needed to play with him, (throw the balls that he would drop over the fence) or it was going to be a dangerous vacation. The owner had the police come to the door to try and remove us for having my service dogs with me!! The officer informed myself and owner through his door cam that this was illegal and I should contact a lawyer. The owner argued through the cam with the cop, finally Nancy & owner stopped yelling & threatening us.
This house is beautiful and spacious. Very comfortable and equipped with all the essentials. Perfect location too. Only minutes away from Jeep, ATV, and bicycle trails. Love the river and all the local restaurants as well. Will definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful trip in this house by the river. The house is perfect for families traveling together. We thoroughly enjoyed the backyard facing the canal that connects with the river.This house is AMAZING! We loved it! The kitchen is one of the most well stocked kitchens I have ever seen in a vacation rental. It was very clean, cozy and plenty of space. Close to everything and very convenient. My only recommendation will be to add a BBQ .
We booked this trip for a quick trip away from home. Having the kayaks onsite was great. The dock was on a canal that connected to the Rainbow River. It was wonderful to sit in the backyard overlooking the canal and we had a lot of fun spending time on the river. We would definitely book again.
