This is the ideal river location with a popular spring for divers and snorkelers just in front of the house. Located upstream from the KP Hole tuber start point, this is a tranquil, peaceful spot. You can enjoy a half mile float to the KP hole with a short walk home, or kayak/tube the entire length to Swampy’s. The head springs is an easy 0.7 mile kayak trip upstream.

    Shannon is very polite, welcoming and great host. The house is beautiful, and I love the view.Unfortunately, the bathrooms were not as clean as expected. the showers were dirty, and there was quite a bit of hair on the floor.

    This house is the best!! The indoor and outdoor living space is perfect and of course we love Rainbow River! Lots of paddle boards and kayaks and tubes to enjoy the experience! It was perfect and we will be back!

    The property is beautiful and the house is spacious. Kitchen is fully equipped. The details on the property could be better. We didn’t know there was a keurig. They provide a gas and charcoal grill but no charcoal or propane. The bath towels are extremely worn and the fourth bedroom that is detached isn’t usable. It smells and there isn’t a bathroom. It’s a make shift laundry room/bedroom. Check in is 5:00 pm (ridiculous) and check out is before 10:00 am. She did work with me and let us check in 2 hours early unfortunately we didn’t know before so it didn’t really help.It is a special property on the river but charging 5 star prices with dirty outdoor cushions, very late check in, beyond worn towels and no propane. Being cheap left us feeling disappointed.

    We had one of our most memorable vacations amongst the seven of us. The river is so beautiful. Peaceful. The house was amazing and clean and had everything you could ask for, kayaks, paddle boards and floats. Games to play at night and firepit. So worth it. We are already taking about going back next year!

    Such an amazing family vacation. Celebrated Dad‘s 80th birthday. All 12 of us got together and were very comfortable. Ages 5-80 had such a great time. The house is outfitted so well we had one of the most memorable Thanksgivings ever! Plenty of kayaks, paddle boards, books, games, etc. A beautiful part of FL. We will be coming back if allowed :) Thank you

    We had a wonderful time in this vacation home. It was exactly as described in the listing. The home is very clean and well stocked with all the things you need to be comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied for cooking. The beds are all comfortable, which is not typical in my experience. There was even a bidet! It’s a great home. Very spacious. I can’t put into words how special the scenery is! That’s the highlight of the stay. The beautiful river is so nice to have right outside. We got to see otters, birds, fish, and deer. Every morning there were multiple deer outside the front door grazing. The water equipment was well stocked and well maintained. We enjoyed kayaking whenever we felt like it, right from the backyard. Super fun. The host was very informative and helpful. WiFi was good, which is helpful since the cell service is spotty.We truly had a wonderful time here and would definitely come back. Well worth the cost.

    The house is perfectly located, close to the state park and on a beautiful stretch of river. It has everything you need for a great vacation. The kids had fun, and the adults relaxed. It's just what we needed. We loved the place. The manager was very friendly and caring. We already want to go back.

    Our family had an amazing week long vacation on the Rainbow River! The house was fantastic and the location on the river was perfect! The kayaking, paddle boarding, floating on inner tubes, and swimming in 72 degrees freshwater springs exceeded our expectations. We also did a scalloping excursion in the Gulf of Mexico! Special thanks to Shannon!

    We stayed for a week. It was the perfect river house. Up river from tubers, and super close to the springs by kayak or paddleboard. We will definitely be back!

    The location and views are amazing. We got to see plenty of wildlife during our stay as we spent every day on the river. The house was as described and fit our needs. We were able to prepare meals with ease and do some laundry. This place is a must stay!

    This place was perfect for 11 of us friends that love a Girls' getaway. Plenty of space and enough water toys. We loved the outside space on the water with plenty of seating and shade. We loved all the windows in the enclosed Florida room, also with plenty of seating. The kitchen was large enough for all the food amd cooking we did. The water, wildlife, and weather were perfect. We would definitely come back again.

    Great location and very responsive host. The place was immaculate...just a great time on the river. River otters during the day and fireflies at night.

    We loved the location of this house. We would have liked to have everyone be able to stay in the house, but it was OK. The furniture was quite old, but in good shape, We loved the porch with al the windows. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved the handy man, George, who was helpful with a couple of things we needed taken care of. The owner was very responsive when I had a concern. We would have rented it again for next year, but the price went up significantly from this year. Unfortunately, we will look for another place because of that.
