About this property
Beautiful secluded setting on the Rainbow River surrounded by state forest
Beautiful secluded setting on the Rainbow River. Includes guest house with bed and bathroom. Recently renovated with new kitchen and bath, and an adjacent guest house with its own recently renovated bathroom. And a loft with two twin beds for the kids. Wraparound deck, two docks, and 150 feet of waterfront. The main dock is shaded all summer with gently wide stairs to the swim area. The second dock is set up for you to bring your own boat and tie up to the cleats there. Paddle boards, float tubes, and kayaks to enjoy the crystal clear river. There's even a crystal clear spring (now dubbed Otter Spring) 25 yards from the main dock. Especially wide part of the river creates a more relaxing setting, with daily visits by the local otters. Riverside fire pit is the perfect set up for cool evenings. Add the proximity to places like the World Equestrian Center (WEC), Crystal River, Homossassa, and the Withlacoochee River, University of Florida, mountain and paved biking trails. This can be both a relaxing place to stay and the center for many activities.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Reese

The two owner families have been paddling the Rainbow for decades. We personally try to addleboard the Rainbow River every Friday, so we'll be dropping in just to pick up our paddleboards each Friday and drop them off after an hour or so of paddling. We love the river and typically spend a couple of months each year on the river. It's only an hour or so from our homes in Ocala.
Why they chose this property
It was the perfect size for 4 adults and 2 kids, and it's on a very quiet bend of the river with state property adjacent to the north side and across the river. It's extremely private, with a couple of docks, and a new wide steps to launch our kayaks and paddle boards.
What makes this property unique
Quiet, peaceful, on a wide part of the river with lots of docks and deck space to sit and enjoy what many consider the most beautiful river in Florida
