This house was very charming! Great views of the river. The whole home was very warm and welcoming. Kitchen was fully equipped, beds were very comfortable and the house spotless. We had a great time exploring the area with plenty of good food. Great area outside to sit at the firepit in the evening. Will definitely stay here again!!!

We had an incredible stay with our family! The house was equipped with all of the essentials and was more than cozy. The views of the river were available at every turn in the house and our souls were fed with lots of nature and relaxation. I would recommend this place to everyone and hope we find ourselves here again, some day.

Very nice house with unique layout

We three cousins spent two weeks in very clean house right along the Withlacoochee river. The living room was spacious and had comfortable seating; one loveseat, one recliner, and a sofa with recliners at either end. Screened porch overlooking the river. The dock was in good repair and had one kayak and a SUP. Bedroom one, with a king bed, was comfortable and generously sized. Bedroom two, on the main floor, was much smaller and lacked adequate lighting, but the bed was comfortable. Downstairs, the master bedroom was extremely nice and also had a walk-in closet and access to the laundry room. Also downstairs, bedroom four wasn't used as there were only three of us. This bedroom was deemed least desirable due to the low ceiling height in the bedroom and the extremely low ceiling in the attached half bath. At 5' 11", my head hit the ceiling when I stood up. Someone shorter probably wouldn't mind that. Our property rep, Hendrik, responded quickly when we experienced an HVAC issue and communicated appropriately. We enjoyed our time here and would be happy to stay again.

Relaxing retreat

Very nice accommodations! The beds were comfortable, bathrooms were very nicely updated. The location and view was excellent. The highlight for us was sitting on the screened in porch enjoying morning coffee watching the alligators and otters in the river below.

The house looked exactly like the photos! It fits 8 people comfortably. We enjoyed spending our evenings on the screened porch overlooking the river. The best bonus of this place was that the host provides kayaks and paddles for your group to use! We didn’t even need to go to the state park because we were able to launch from the house and kayak to the springs. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice property. Further from Rainbow river by tube, canoe or kyak than thought. Outside of property could use some work. Especially the dock. Some areas of the dock are dangerous. Overall nice property. Property manager responsive.

We were very pleased with the accommodations. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need and beyond. Charming mix of modern and traditional furniture. My only concern is the deck closest to the water. One member of our group has been in construction and was surprised to see plywood used for the decking. It did not feel stable at all.

Kayaking trip with friends

We had nine adults staying for a week of kayaking at the nearby springs. Plenty of space for meals and game time at night. Living areas very adequate for this size group and home well equipped and very clean. Location very convenient to everything we needed and in walking distance to art gallery, garden and antique shops and restaurants. Great home!

Dunnellon Dream Home

A beautiful spacious house on a clear river. We fished and swam in the river just a few steps out of the back door. We also went to a few springs nearby. Next time we will have to stay longer so we can enjoy more of the surrounding springs in the area.

Amazing House on the River

We loved everything about this house. It was very clean and tidy, had the cutest decorations, and supplied anything you could possibly need. Hendrik was super helpful and responsive. We will definitely be back! Although we went for a girls trip, I’d love to bring my family here soon. There were even multiple restaurants close by that we could walk to. We HIGHLY recommend this beautiful home!!!

Nice River Home

The home is a spacious, rambling old place that features the fun surprise of a room designed as a bar. The upper deck of the dock looked questionably stable and provided no shade, but we swam and kayaked from the lower dock. We did not see kayaks listed as available and never received an answer about them, so we brought our own, but 3 were on property. I have never used a wood burning grill and was unable to start the one there, despite buying wood pellets and reading instructions, so that was disappointing. Overall, nice location, fun house.

Cancelled our plans to hang out

This house was GORGEOUS. Our party had plans to go to the springs close by but fell in love with the house and location so much that we decided to stay in. We went to a few antique stores very close by and met really nice people and were able to relax. We are very excited to book again! Thank you!!!

Friend weekend

This was a perfect location for our girls paddle weekend!!! It’s a quick launch to either Rainbow River or the Withlacoochee and we enjoyed both over several days. The house was comfy and quirky like most river rentals. My only negative was the 2nd downstairs “bedroom” was very uncomfortable for the friend that ended up staying in that one. There was almost no air, with very low ceiling and just a basement feel. As an all adult group of women, that was sort of a bummer. The 2nd king room downstairs was gorgeous with all new furniture, full views of the river and a stark contrast the the other space. Great spot to pop out for food or shopping and perfect if you’re planning to be on the water.

Great property

Our family with 2 teenage boys had a great week. The house is charming, plenty of room with ample furniture and amenities, clean and well maintained. There are lots of places to enjoy the view of the river including the master bedroom, the family room (which includes a desk in the windowed corner for those of us who have to keep up with work), sun room, porch swing, picnic table, chairs around the fire pit. Kayaks/lifejackets available for use on the river. Lots of things available that aren't necessarily standard in rentals including kitchen spices/aluminum foil/etc, first aid kit, sunblock. Our goal was just to get away and spend time together playing board games, reading, watching movies, and this property met our needs perfectly!
