Property and home is beautiful. We loved seeing the sunset over the river. Only saw 1 gator and it was a baby. It swam away when it heard us. Lots of turtles & birds. Quiet and peaceful especially in the morning when drinking coffee on the lani.
My teen children and I rented this home for a long weekend to visit my parents who have retired to a small condo. The home is fully appointed. It was the most well-stocked kitchen that I have ever rented. and the kitchen is big enough to cook nearly anything. There is a great screened-in porch that overlooks a tranquil cove. My son had a blast fishing off the dock, while his sister read/napped in a cozy reading nook. If you are looking for a quiet spot to relax and unwind, this is the listing for you.
House was great, very spacious. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. Kids had a blast on the dock most of the weekend and like most of commented, there is a gator that likes to come up and lay right under the dock. Too friendly for comfort, but has most likely been fed in the past.
Very private and quiet
Lovely spacious home on the riverfront. The home was immaculate, provided all the necessities - including peaceful, quite evenings watching the sunset and the wildlife on the river.
We had a great time at this beautiful home! Easy check in and very private, quite neighborhood. House was very clean and perfect for our short weekend stay!
We LOVED our stay at this beautiful home. Everything is immaculate, spacious and perfect patio view of the river. This home was the perfect location/atmosphere for our Chill Retreat. Can't wait to go again!
This is a great home to get away from your busy lifestyle and just sit on the dock and enjoy the quiet, peaceful river. We even had a visitor everyday we called “Ally”the alligator. Close to food and parks. Would recommend for sure!!
The house is set up perfectly. Great location. Huge kitchen. We will definitely be back.
The house was very well kept and there was plenty of space for my husband, myself, and 2 preteens. We loved the stay and would stay here again, however there were a few things that I feel need to be addressed There was an alligator (Fred) that is very comfortable with humans that I would caution everyone to watch for. We did not feed him because it’s illegal (which also needs to be stated somewhere in the house), but I assure you that someone has. He will swim to within 2 feet of you (we were on the dock) and just stay there while you talk to him. If he sees you fishing, he will never leave and he, non-aggressively, will chase your line. Kind of like a giant lizard puppy that can bite your leg off. I think there should be more signs cautioning people with young children especially. He came over EVERY TIME we came outside, this was not an isolated event. We were unable to fish due to this. ALSO, Being extra pillows. I’m glad I read other reviews about the pillows. They are sad and flat. I would not have been able to sleep had I not brought my own. The beds are firm but I slept great. Like I said, I would stay here again, but if you aren’t a fan of wildlife, this wouldn’t be the place for you.
I loved this property and could have stayed longer. It was very relaxing. The house is large enough to allow for some privacy, yet still allowed us all to stay together. We were visited by Buddy, as we called him, the neighborhood gator. And as others noted, bring a pillow if you sleep with more than one. ;)
Seamless transaction. Clean home. Close to Rainbow springs! Serene!
We rented this property to have a place to stay near family for a memorial after my father died. It was the perfect quiet spot for family togetherness: the kitchen is huge, and the living room/great room area is spacious, airy, and furnished with lots of tables and seating. There's also a screened patio/lanai just feet from the river. While we were there, a large turtle strolled past the lanai literally feet from us and slid into the river, and we saw three sizable alligators in two days, including one that hung out in the weeds directly beside the property. A++++ for setting and family gathering space. The downsides, since there were a few: 1. Posted information stated that extra pillows could be found in the front bedroom area, but we never found any. We really needed them because the pillows on the bed in the master were as flat as pancakes. 2. We wanted to look at a video slideshow one family member had put together (old pictures of my late father) by using an HDMI cable to connect her computer to the TV. The only remote available worked the Roku and thus the TV, but the actual LG Smart TV remote wasn't available, which made figuring out how to view her memorial video a challenge even for the most tech savvy among us. 3. The big one: There was a brief but powerful storm on the Saturday of our stay, and the lower driveway and road just outside the property COMPLETELY FLOODED. I had to wade through murky puddle water that was above my knees to cross the road to my car (I had temporarily parked along the grass to leave room in the driveway for an elderly relative who uses a rolling walker). The water had receded by the next morning, but we had a temporary Lake Cherokee Circle outside for a while. Some water also swept under the screened door into the lanai, bringing silt with it, though it was really the deep water in the road and lower driveway that posed problems when we wanted to drive into Dunnellon. Overall, I would recommend this beautiful and well-situated house for any family retreat, but I would also recommend to the property owner/manager that they look into some kind of drainage solution to the potential flooding in front of the property, since storms are common in Florida in the summer.
We had a blast. There was a gator that that was always at the dock. I think he is being feed
Love this property. Wish I could have stayed longer.
It was a great stay. We are close to everything we needed to access. We loved the porch and the spacious of place. Everything we seemed to need was readily available. There was great attention to detail. Only complaint…bed pillows are too worn out and there aren’t any extras to be found. Please update the pillows and we might not ever want to leave…
