We had an amazing time in a beautiful house. Kayaking out of the cove to the river was so peaceful. Excellent communication with the hosts. We had a blast.
We've been staying up at the rainbow river with our family & friends every summer for the past 10 years. Over the years we have rented several homes always directly on the river usually middle or upper sections. In fact, we've stayed in two other homes in this same neighborhood. My husband & I were excited to find this new property available with the quaint little pond in the back. This provided extra privacy. The layout of this home was perfect having 5 adults & 5 teenagers. The upstairs and downstairs both having their own kitchens & living rooms gave everyone their own space to play games, watch tv, take naps or just relax and watch the river. We spent 6 days over the Labor Day weekend - also celebrating my 50th & sons 18th birthday. Couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate. The host Rich was very communicative & easy to reach with questions.We've added this home to our top places to stay when we come back to visit the river.
We love this place! Great location, nice neighborhood, close to stores. Love being on the Rainbow River & the kayaks on site! The house is spacious, clean, and beautiful views with many large windows!
Location was awesome, views from the house, patio and dock were very peaceful. The house is huge, downstairs kitchen was convenient. Paddle boarding and kayaking across the cove was fun and exciting. Upstairs kitchen needed more dishes and a pizza pan.
What a wonderful location! It was so nice having so much space in the house. It’s situated in such a beautiful peaceful spot !!! Can’t wait to visit again :)
Huge house with plenty of sleeping options. Maids leave a bit to be desired.Not enough silverware or dish-ware for such a large house. People that stay a week don’t usually eat out every night so silverware dishes and pots/pans necessary. Very few. If cooking bring your own frypan.Also only 3 chairs for outdoor decks? We had 6 people. Would also have liked to see TV in bedrooms. Ground floor a/c unit very noisy, difficult to hear small TV over the a/c.
Comfortable space, perfect for Rainbow River activities. We loved the kayaks and Swampy’s restaurant riverside. We saw otters, turtles, foxes, deer, and a flock of turkeys in the backyard one day.
Great location, private with everything for a large family, close to amenities & activities such as kayaking on Rainbow River, a swim with manatees at Rainbow Springs or just relax with games & movies is a very comfortable home. Highly recommend a stay here if you are visiting the area.
We absolutely loved being able to kayak Rainbow Springs right from the backyard! Very comfortable beds and plenty of space for our group! Fabulous views! We will be back!!!
Large house in a perfect location with a private little pond leading out to the beautiful Rainbow Springs River. We enjoyed the kayaks on a daily basis.
Located near grocery shopping, lots of boat ramps, Rainbow River State Park, Withlachoche Bike trail and many restaurants makes this location excellent. House is two levels with one living room, one kitchen and 2 bedrooms on each level.
Beautiful, relaxing and enjoyed every second! Enough space for everyone.
Very clean and most comfortable beds and furniture. Absolutley the BEST place!
Kitchens were very spacious, the bar downstairs was very useful!! Laundry room was absolutely a great option especially for the big family of wet clothes from being on the River!!! The bed rooms was set up perfectly to accommodate everyone!!! The only thing that I would recommend is another a/c unit down stairs. It stayed pretty warm through out the stay.
Beautiful setting. House was spacious with everything we needed to enjoy our time together. The younger members of the family really enjoyed kayaking on the beautiful Rainbow River.
