This home was so relaxing and beautiful. Being right on the river our kids had a ton of fun. Was the perfect location for our fishing trip as the marina is just a short distance away. Rick was very helpful and responded immediately to any questions we had. We will stay here again!
The house and property were very clean, and had excellent views of the area
Wonderful host. Easy access to many springs, parks, beaches and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with all the tools you will need. The local pub is fun and the Blackwater restaurant had very fine prepared Grouper and Snapper entrees. Easy drive to many of the Gulf harbors and springs. Spotless accommodation.
This very clean and well-appointed home was a pleasure for our family of three to enjoy for a week. We loved sitting out on the screened-in porch and watching the variety of birds that call this area home. The kitchen has any cooking implement you might need and we enjoyed many home-cooked meals. We wished the charcoal grill was a gas grill which would have allowed us to do more grilling however, we were very happy with the kitchen. Bathrooms were comfortable with each having two separate sinks and good shower (shampoo and condition included!). Air conditioning worked well though, mostly we kept it off as we opened the sliding door for fresh air. All in all, we had a wonderful stay at this peaceful, comfortable and well-situated river house.
Spend a quiet, relaxing weekend with friends for memorial day. The home was spotless and well appointed. The only suggestion would be a queen in the second bedroom versus the twins. For two couples it was a little awkward with a Murphy bed. Perfect for family style. Had everything we needed for cooking at home. Owners left great notes about local restaurants & things to do.
Sitting on the deck with a cocktail, watching the river roll by. Alligators, manatees, birds, mullets jumping. Loved it
We really enjoyed staying at Riverside Drive. Wry clean, comfortable and peaceful. Update beautiful home on the river.
We enjoy so many things when we stay in your home. The beds are comfortable. We slept in the murphy bed & slept very well. The home is clean, spacious & well thought out for visitors. We saw alligators, 1 manatee & dolphins while eating on the screened porch. Great spot!!!
I can’t say enough about this diamond tucked on the river in Yankeetown. The home is gorgeous, spotless, well-equipped, and close enough to Crystal River, but far from the crowds. There’s not a lot to do if you are a social butterfly, but for us it was perfect. We read, rested, walked, biked, kayaked, and swam with the manatees. This house has everything you could possibly need for a great get away. The little town is lovely, the people are nice. We had a pizza the first night from Our Pub down the street. It’s a little locals dive where the pizza is hot and the beer is cold. We made reservations and ate at the Blackwater Restaurant that is literally two minutes away. It’s waterfront and upscale. I had the chef’s special which was snapper. We drove to Captain Mike’s Swimming with the Manatees in Crystal River and enjoyed a private manatee swim. Everything you need for a nice kayaking day on the river is right beneath the house. The screened in porch was perfect for reading and relaxing. We will definitely stay here again. Don’t sleep on this beautiful experience.
We stayed here for 4 nights and we had a wonderful time. The residence is modern and comfortable. The main bedroom has its own bathroom and the bed is comfortable. The second bedroom has two beds and an adjacent bathroom The home was clean and as promised. It is located on a quiet part of the Withlacooche River. The owners were friendly and responsive. There is a nice back upstairs screened patio which looks over the River and the boat dock. The kitchen is modern and well appointed. We were very pleased and hope to return as we have family in the area and stay up that way often.
Very cozy and very clean house! We absolutely loved it! Probably the most comfortable beds we ever slept on at VRBO rentals--totally agree with most of the reviews here. Excellent location- very quiet and private, lots of mature trees and right on the water. Kayaking and fishing there was so much fun. Our teen son caught a huge Red fish with captain Eric Hasty. We saw manatee right from the lanai one morning. Great communication with owner Rick, we had no problems during our stay, it was very relaxing and very enjoyable. One of our favorite properties, highly recommend it!
This is a wonderful place to stay. It is located on the Withlacooche River in Yankeetown and it has a nice upstairs screened back patio that looks over the River and the boat dock. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood and just a few blocks away from a great restaurant. The master bedroom has a comfortable bed and a nice shower and bathroom. The second bedroom has two beds and its own bathroom and shower. This is a great area for fishing, boating, kayaking, running, walking, bike riding, or just relaxing. The owners are friendly and very responsive. We have relatives in the area and we stay up this way often, and we hope to return in the near future.
Had a wonderful time at the Withlacoochee River House! The house was as beautiful as it appears in the listing and had everything you could need. It was quiet and relaxing and we enjoyed the location very much. Wr spent a lot of time kayaking and enjoying the river and it is very convenient and easy to bring a boat, as there are multiple boat launches close by ($5 to use the launch). We are looking forward to coming back!
My husband and I brought our 2 year old daughter here for a peaceful mini vacation. It was so nice and we had a great time. The house was very clean and it had everything we needed to enjoy our stay!! We enjoyed watching the fish jump out of the water, boats going by, and the alligators! I would highly recommend this place!!
We were thrilled with this beautiful, well-maintained home! They thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. We are planning to return for another relaxing, restful visit.
