Absolute perfection. This river retreat is a wonderful house nestled on the Withlacoochee River. Everything for your stay is thoughtfully taken care of and available. The house is spotlessly clean and cleverly decorated in a river theme. The fenced backyard is alive with birds and squirrels which you can watch in the screened deck which overlooks the back. Its just a magical space you get to share with nature. The dock deck and kayak lift are at rivers edge in the shadows of the majestic cypress canopy. It is a quiet spot which are few and far between these days in Florida. We want to come back already!
Absolutely amazing place to come and relax, especially with dogs. Very nicely equipped in terms of kitchen and bathroom. Having access to kayaks and bikes is a special touch too! Excellent communication throughout the booking process and stay. The water level was low when we were there so it too two people to carefully get kayaks in and out of the water but all the waterways and places to explore were more than worth it. The folder of information was thorough and very helpful. Already booked a return visit!
This is our second visit to Dunnellon and it was even better than last year, especially because we knew how beautiful it was and that everything we would need for a memorable feast day would be provided.
Everything about our stay at Karen's was perfect. The house is spotless from top to bottom. The kitchen is well stocked, but not cluttered. The bed was super comfy. I honestly can't think of anything they didn't think of to make this beautiful home a special place to get away to. As someone posted earlier, it's all about attention to detail. We OP really appreciated the lightweight kayaks as the river was low and it was a bit of a drop to the launch. Had a great time just paddling around the area. So much to do in this area if you like the outdoors. Citrus Springs Trailhead to the Withlacoochee Bike Trail just 6 miles away. We've stayed in many homes in the Inverness, Floral City, Dunnellon area over the past few years. This one is top notch!
This was our 3rd time staying at this property and there is a reason we keep coming back. My kids love fishing off the dock and running around in the backyard. The property is the perfect size for a family of 4 with a good amount of space for everyone. We already have 2 more trips booked to return. Great find not too far from Rainbow River!
Right on the river with a large well maintained back yard. Quiet neighborhood. The house was a perfect 2 bedroom 2 bathrooms with a nice layout.
Open floor plan, screened back porch. A cardinal came to the bird feeder for breakfast every morning occasionally both male and female.
The master bed was very comfortable we both slept very well. Plenty of closet and drawer space. Smart tv worked very well.
We went to the Gypsy Gold horse farm tour and Captain Jacks horse riding trail. Both were very good. You are close to Belleview and Dunnellon, restaurants and Publix grocery and a Walmart although we never saw. A lot of walking trails so be sure to take some bug spray. There are so many things the host has provided I canât imagine being disappointed with your stay.we didnât use the kayaks, bikes, fire pit or grill this time but they are available. There is even a Sâmoors kit and games in the utility room cabinet! Sheâs thought of many things that I didnât. Really nice touches like mints and books about the area. We will likely come back again. A lot of trails left unexplored. âïžâïžâïžâïžâïž
This is our second stay here. Enjoy the house, porch, and yard. Fenced in yard is great for our dog. Owners go out of their way to help you with any concerns. Thank you for letting us stay.
This was our second time staying at Karen and Edâs lovely home on the river. It felt like coming home. Our hosts think of everything. There is not one thing I would change. Itâs quiet and peaceful and lovely. We kayaked and ate out and sat on the river deck. Our dogs were safe and enjoyed protecting us from the squirrels.
Weâre coming back next year!
Outstanding property in a beautiful area that provides everything you need for a first-class stay. Very well maintained both inside and out and stocked with toys galore. We took the kayaks out daily from the dock and explored up and down the river. Tons of other options for kayaking, biking, hiking, etc in the immediate area make this the perfect base camp for your Natureâs Coast adventure.
This was a great place for us to stay while visiting my brother in Dunnellon. The fenced backyard was perfect for our pet. This is by far the most well stocked vacation rental we have ever stayed at. Very comfortable overall.
Our stay was very enjoyable! From the creek/river that runs behind the house and having kayaks on hand to enjoy was great! We like that the house had almost everything we needed except a lighter to light the outside firepit lol! We had to get creative with that one. Overall it was a enjoyable, quiet stay even though the Florida weather was a little off that week. đ
House was as stated. Very clean and could tell it was well cared for home. Our dog enjoyed the fenced backyard. Good restaurants in the area. It was somewhat chilly while we were there, so no fish were biting. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
This was our second stay and it was outstanding again. Clean, comfortable, well furnished and supplied, and serene. For a laid back, relaxing get away it is ideal. Within 5 minutes of our arrival we were asking ourselves why we waited 2 years between trips. We will return - again!
We were looking for a rental in this area because it reminds us of "old Florida". This property appealed to us for the location, the deck and waterfront, and the fenced yard - which was fabulous for our 2 Golden Retrievers. What we didn't expect was the incredibly attention to detail that was provided. The host's were superb, and obviously go out of their way to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. I would rate this a 10 if that were possible. We very much look forward to our next visit back here!
We could not have picked a better place for what we needed. The location was great. Quiet and cozy! The backyard was secure for the pup while also giving us easy access to the river. The house had everything you could possibly need and more. It was clean and comfortable! Thank you for a great vacation.
Outstanding pet friendly vacation home in the country, close to multiple springs!
My husband and I stayed here with our 3 dogs. We also trailered our kayaks up to visit the springs. We had an absolutely fantastic vacation here and definitely want to come back! The house was immaculate and extremely well stocked. It had paper towels, plenty of toilet paper, trash bags, spices for cooking, plenty of towels, etc. Each shower had a dispenser with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. We didn't use them because we had ours, but they had four kayaks at the house. They even had firewood and a smores kit! There was also a basket by the back slider with a flashlight, sunscreen, and bug spray. They even had a bowl outside for water for the dogs. Karen was super communicative with us and even gave us the option of early check in. She was also extremely accomodating to us bringing three dogs. The dogs had so much fun between going up and down the stairs, sitting on the deck looking at the water, and all of the squirrels! The house itself is out in the country. Its so peaceful there, but also only about 15 minutes into town. You can easily get groceries delivered, run in for dinner, etc. The beds are super compfortable and the TV's support airplay so you can stream your netflix if you wish. I really can't say enough good about the owners and the property. We had an amazing vacation.
The beauty of the Withlacoochee along with it's abundant wildlife makes this the perfect setting. The home is very private and the yard is perfect for relaxing. Completely fenced it is safe for your pets.
The location of this home is perfect for enjoying all the Nature Coast has to offer from hiking biking, golfing and sightseeing. It is centrally located to the areas vacationers come to enjoy. Swimming with manatees is an experience of a lifetime and Three Sisters in Crystal River along with Homosassa Springs are the only 2 places in the world where this is permitted. For fishermen, The Largemouth Bass are abundant and big in the Withlacoochee and Lake Rousseau.
