About this property

Enjoy peace and tranquility on the Withlacoochee river with breathtaking views.

WE JUST ADDED A POOL HEATER! for the cold winter months ;)
All new windows, doors, whole house painted inside and out, brand new floors and all bedrooms are private now.. and so much more! 2700 square foot home directly on the the beautiful Withlacoochee river in historic Dunnellon. Just 60 miles north of Tampa. This place is perfect for that weekend getaway or family vacation. Situated downstream from the world famous Rainbow river, it’s just a short boat ride from our dock to the crystal clear cool spring water. (There is a boat there that is NOT included in rental) Our back yard has over 200 feet of river front and enough space to dock a few boats if you want to bring them. Don’t have a boat? Captain Bob at the Blue Gator, less than a mile away has pontoon and john boats for rent.
To the west down the Withlacoochee, you will see nature at its finest with otters playing, turtles basking and majestic cypress trees swaying in the wind. To the west still are miles and miles of Wetlands with a navigable channel through it all and with a vast array of wildlife, it is truly a beautiful site to see and it’s all directly accessible from our dock.
Inside our home there is a living room that is the showpiece of the whole property. At over 1000 square foot, there is enough space for all your guests without being on top of each other. Lots of comfortable seating, an oversized pool table, 60” flat screen tv, and 50 feet of river viewing area out glass sliders.We have added a game room in garage with a arcade game with multiple choices, foosball table, and electronic dart board
We have a fully equipped brand new ,very large kitchen with Convection oven, range, dishwasher, fridge, breakfast bar, and formal dining table and chairs. Kitchen is also stocked with pots, pans, plates, glasses, silver ware, serving dishes, small appliances, mixer, blender, toaster, coffee maker,keurig, air fryer and more at your disposal. Also a fully functioning laundry room with extra large capacity washer and dryer.
Sleeping accommodations are;
Bedroom 1-king size bed (There is also a portable crib in the closet as well as an air mattress if needed.)
Bedroom 2- king size bed
Bedroom 3- 2 queen beds


In the living room there is a large leather sectional, 2 sleeper chairs that convert to twin beds. and 2 more leather couches with electric recliners.
2 bathrooms; one with stand up shower and the other with a bathtub /shower.
Outside we have the enclosed swimming pool for our guests to cool off and relax in facing the river.
We do have outside security cameras that are in place for when home is empty or any emergency arises.
There is also plenty of parking for about 4-6 vehicles on our 2/3 acre property.
This location is down a dead end road and is very private. Most of the water pictures were taken right off the dock and the others were take just a short boat trip away. Book now to enjoy this gem.

Gorgeous location right on the river! Tranquil escape with plenty of space for multiple families to spread out and enjoy. Loved the kayaks on site, which we used to explore the river in the mornings before heading out to the springs in the afternoon. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need to stay in and cook or grill during your visit. I would highly recommend!

Where to start, it was a great 4 days.When you drive in the outside does not reflect what’s to come. These hosts have created a wonderful vacation experience. The great room is huge. The pool table was used every night. The sofa and chairs facing the river were used often. The TV is big with its own sectional seating but we never used it. Kitchen is VERY well equipped. The star is the patio on the river. Tons of seating options and a view you will not tire of.Get early, the mist on the water is beautiful. At dark there is an owl that visits, the frogs start singing. All rather magical. Afternoons the boats go by. Lots of fun activities nearby if you can tear yourself away from the patio.Also a pool with lanai with a river view.This area is “Old Florida” at its best.
