About the host
Hosted by Rachel Prosser
I first came to the Rainbow River in the summer of 2020. My husband and I completely fell in love with it. We said, “We have to make this our lives”! Three days later we had a contract on a house right here in the neighborhood so we could be on the river every day. We love it more and more each day.
What makes this property unique
There is no other property like this anywhere on the Rainbow River. It’s very unique and special because of its resort-like landscaping that has been meticulously maintained.
