The Tree House - Family Friendly, Great Yard, Waterfront

We thoroughly enjoyed The Tree House! You actually feel like you are in a tree house... the house and property surpassed our expectations. The house is clean and very well equipped with anything you may need. The kitchen is probably the most well equipped as far as a vacation rental that we have stayed in! The house is in a very friendly and quiet little neighborhood where we enjoyed meeting several of the neighbors. We brought our boat and kept it at the dock behind the house which is always a great perk! John was very responsive with any questions had. We will definitely be coming back!

This was a nice home in a great neighborhood. The screened-in porch was our favorite place for meals and hanging out.

We enjoyed or time at Crystal River and the house was very comfortable.

The house location on its own private spring was simply magical. The manatee were literally in our backyard and the house was equipped with kayaks so that we could take the kids directly over to several other islands.

This home is a nice comfortable place to spend time with loved ones. If you are thinking of staying in Crystal River it is a great place to stay and avoid the hectic, stressful, crowded and pricey local hotels.

Great week/great location/perfect if your bringing a boat. Bbq grill and oven were dirty. A/c struggled to keep up in the heat of the day. Kitchen/cooking utensils perfect. Had a great week

This was a perfect vacation for us! John the owner, was always a phone call away, not that we needed to call as the house had everything you could need. You felt like you walked into your own house! The kitchen had everything from pots and pans and lots of dishes but more importantly, it was well stocked with spices, oil, all the necessities you needed. I have been in houses before where you had to buy even the basics, but not here! There was laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, extra everything. I think people are so comfortable and appreciative to find such a well stocked house, that they leave extras as well for the next guest. The yard was huge. We took our boat and docked it right there. Easy to get in and out, everything is very well maintained. Kayaks were at the property and our kids lived in them. Great screened in porch and crows nest for a sunset view. Everything was as described and I would highly recommend this property. Absolutely a great vacation!

The River Ranch in Crystal River was delightful and accurately reflected in photos. The home is beautifully decorated, very clean and well maintained. The property is located in a neighborhood but felt very private. We have been renting homes in CR for the past 8 years during scallop season and this was by far the cleanest, nicest place we have rented. We shared the home with another family and it easily accommodated our 2 families along with 2 boats. The bunk room was perfect for all the children. The kitchen is a cooks delight and equipped with everything you need for preparing meals. This includes plenty of pots, pans, utensils, glassware (including wine glasses) and updated appliances. Would suggest some bar stoles at island counter. The large covered screened porch was perfect for relaxing at the end of a long day on the water and kept the no-see-ums mosquito's out while the ceiling fans made it very pleasant. Navigating to the home by boat was a bit challenging at first but figured it out with help from friendly neighbors. The owners checked in to make sure everything was going well during our stay and promptly returned all deposit monies. The only complaint was not being allowed as outlined in contract to clean our scallops catch on property. A small inconvenience but not a deal breaker. I would definitely recommend this property and love to return to the River Ranch again.
