Absolute perfection. This river retreat is a wonderful house nestled on the Withlacoochee River. Everything for your stay is thoughtfully taken care of and available. The house is spotlessly clean and cleverly decorated in a river theme. The fenced backyard is alive with birds and squirrels which you can watch in the screened deck which overlooks the back. Its just a magical space you get to share with nature. The dock deck and kayak lift are at rivers edge in the shadows of the majestic cypress canopy. It is a quiet spot which are few and far between these days in Florida. We want to come back already!
This is our second visit to Dunnellon and it was even better than last year, especially because we knew how beautiful it was and that everything we would need for a memorable feast day would be provided.

Absolutely amazing place to come and relax, especially with dogs. Very nicely equipped in terms of kitchen and bathroom. Having access to kayaks and bikes is a special touch too! Excellent communication throughout the booking process and stay. The water level was low when we were there so it too two people to carefully get kayaks in and out of the water but all the waterways and places to explore were more than worth it. The folder of information was thorough and very helpful. Already booked a return visit!
As always the house was very clean and well stocked with all the things that you could think of for an enjoyable getaway. We were not able to enjoy everything the place had to offer in one week and look forward to our next visit in the near future.
This was a great place for us to stay while visiting my brother in Dunnellon. The fenced backyard was perfect for our pet. This is by far the most well stocked vacation rental we have ever stayed at. Very comfortable overall.
This was the best vacation rental we have ever been in. The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The master bed was very comfortable along with the living room furniture, and the screened in porch was the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the natural surroundings.
This was our 3rd time staying at this property and there is a reason we keep coming back. My kids love fishing off the dock and running around in the backyard. The property is the perfect size for a family of 4 with a good amount of space for everyone. We already have 2 more trips booked to return. Great find not too far from Rainbow River!
My family loves this rental! We have visited twice of the holiday weekend and enjoyed it very much both times. The property is clean and equipped with the essentials. Our family enjoyed the scenic backyard and fishes right from the dock. Highly recommend!
This was our second stay and it was outstanding again. Clean, comfortable, well furnished and supplied, and serene. For a laid back, relaxing get away it is ideal. Within 5 minutes of our arrival we were asking ourselves why we waited 2 years between trips. We will return - again!
By far, the best place on the Withlacoochee! Karen and Ed are excellent hosts. The house is immaculate and contained everything we could have needed. We loved the quiet and peacefulness and all the river creatures and birds
Very hospitable host, well stocked home, gorgeous river with kayaks and an easy to use kayak launch. This is one of our favorite rentals as we love beinf in middle of nature. There is no better view than from the back screened porch!
We could not have picked a better place for what we needed. The location was great. Quiet and cozy! The backyard was secure for the pup while also giving us easy access to the river. The house had everything you could possibly need and more. It was clean and comfortable! Thank you for a great vacation.
Outstanding property in a beautiful area that provides everything you need for a first-class stay. Very well maintained both inside and out and stocked with toys galore. We took the kayaks out daily from the dock and explored up and down the river. Tons of other options for kayaking, biking, hiking, etc in the immediate area make this the perfect base camp for your Nature’s Coast adventure.
House was perfect! Had everything we were looking for! Restaurants close by. Publix also close by. Very nice screened back porch. Wonderful deck over the river! Used the kayaks everyday right out the back. The river was breathtaking! We will be back very soon!
House was as stated. Very clean and could tell it was well cared for home. Our dog enjoyed the fenced backyard. Good restaurants in the area. It was somewhat chilly while we were there, so no fish were biting. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Excellent cabin for its cleanliness and full complement! The King beds are the most comfortable we have found on a Vrbo!
We were days away from enjoying the Kayaks and bikes more, but we did and my granddaughters loved going down to the Withlacoochee River and listening to its sounds!
We couldn't find a better cabin! absolutely no complaints
What a great place! The home was plenty big for my husband, me and our 2 pups and it was one of the cleanest homes I've ever been in. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking, the 2 beds were large and comfortable, and the A/C was nice and cold! Outside was a big surprise with a very large, fenced in yard, right on the river with a wonderful dock, kayaks and a fire-pit to use, and a lot of beautiful trees. Overall this was such a quiet, peaceful place and we will definitely stay here again; we loved it!
