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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Karen McCulley

Host profile image
My husband and I moved from south Florida to the Dunnellon area 8 years ago to escape the hassle of the big city.

Why they chose this property

The beauty of the Withlacoochee along with it's abundant wildlife makes this the perfect setting. The home is very private and the yard is perfect for relaxing. Completely fenced it is safe for your pets.

What makes this property unique

The location of this home is perfect for enjoying all the Nature Coast has to offer from hiking biking, golfing and sightseeing. It is centrally located to the areas vacationers come to enjoy. Swimming with manatees is an experience of a lifetime and Three Sisters in Crystal River along with Homosassa Springs are the only 2 places in the world where this is permitted. For fishermen, The Largemouth Bass are abundant and big in the Withlacoochee and Lake Rousseau.
