Our 3rd visits to this lovely property. Amy is very accommodating and makes sure everything is up to par.We love the view of Lake Rosseau. Always a treat for us, so quiet and peaceful. The fenced in yard is so great for our senior dog. She loves being able to be outside - a definite plus for us.Can't wait until we are able to return again. Our favorite place to spend some special time.

We had an amazing few days with our family. The home was cozy, very well kept, and we loved that it was fully stocked with everything we needed. Amy was extremely responsive and truly an amazing host. The only downside was that the fishing wasn’t very good as we didn’t catch anything. Overall, we had the best time and would absolutely recommend staying here!

The house was wonderfully placed along the south shore of Lake Rousseau, with kayaks for our use. The house had two bedrooms, TV room, screen porch, and large kitchen-dining room combo. The furniture was good--the bed comfortable. We did not understand how to work the toaster oven and had trouble with roku TV but otherwise enjoyed the comforts and appliances of the house.

The home was very nice with open living/dining area. We were able to connect to the Wi-Fi easily and enjoyed the back yard area with the beautiful views, sunsets and nature. We have a small dog who enjoyed the fenced in back yard. The location is ideal for activities in Crystal River as well as Homosassa. We look forward to another visit.

What a nice house directly on Lake Rousseau! We had coffee on the dock every morning and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset every night. Very quiet neighborhood that is truly beautiful. I don't know what the other comment was about not being able to put the boats in the water at this house, but, the canoe and kayaks can be launched directly from the dock. The kitchen was 'fully' outfitted with any appliance and utensil you could possibly need to prepare food with!! Lots to do in different areas around the lake and a short drive to Crystal River. This house has a whole house water filtration system with water softener and for drinking water!!!! What a bonus! Beds are super comfortable and the TV has many apps to watch whatever your favorite show is! The host Amy was so easy to accommodate any need we had... Thank you for a great vacation!!

Amazing sunsets

We had a relaxing time!! The sunsets were absolutely stunning to watch, my girls were disappointed because they couldn’t swim in the water but were excited to see an alligator everyday, And gave us the opportunity to drive to other parts of Florida to check things out, Check in /out was easy, Amy had everything we needed to feel at home.

Wonderful Trip

House was extremely clean and Amy was wonderful. Despite past reviews complaining about sea grass overgrowth near dock had no problem catching a decent sized cat fish. Hughes net satellite isp is a bit lacking but not much can be done about that as it's a little remote. Thanks Amy for an awesome stay!
