About this property

Tranquil Waterfront Cottage on Lake Rousseau , 3bdrm

Offering a beautiful and tranquil experience, this lakefront cottage is located directly on Lake Rousseau known for it's exemplary largemouth bass fishing. This quaint cottage comfortably sleeps 6 guests in a spacious master with king bed, two other bedrooms (queen and two twins) and also boasts two full bathrooms. The living area is bright and full of windows facing the lake and the kitchen is well stocked for enjoying a home cooked meal.

We had a very relaxing stay. The river view, sunsets, and bird watching was amazing. We visited two state parks nearby to see more of Crystal River. Our hosts were accommodating, friendly, and A on communication. The house was roomy and comfortable with a functional and large kitchen which made Thanksgiving dinner prep doable! Not much to say about any cons other than a difficult time regulating the thermostat. Cold first night and too warm the second - but don’t let that deter you. If you are looking for a low key get away with amazing views, this is the place!
No filter! Blown away by the sunsets

We are glad you enjoyed most of your stay and appreciate your notes. We live in the immediate area and would have been happy to come over to resupply any items or provide batteries had we been notified about these concerns. Especially since we were already at the property for some other items per your request. The fridge handle has been fixed with a small screw and thank you for the recommendation on the bedroom lighting as we've not heard this from any guests in the past 4 years but will consider adding a small light to the nightstand. We hope none of these minor inconveniences were a distraction from the amazing sunset views and we're happy to have you back in the future.

Lake Trip

We had a wonderful time at this nice lake house. We took our bass boat and had a great time on the lake. Our truck broke down on the road out front between the boat ramp and the house. This gave us an opportunity to meet the many neighbors that stopped to see if we needed help. They were all super nice. On man, "Dickey" even broke out his strap and pulled us to the park so we could wait for our mechanic away from the road. The boat ramp is just a hop and skip from the house and is quite easy to launch from. The lake is a flooded plane and is full of stumps, making it excellent for fishing. The channel is very well marked so you can cover the entire lake by motor, then just switch to trolling motor when you come out of the channel. We had a great time. In the mornings, there is a little fox that hangs out in the backyard. While we were there, we got to see here little ones too. So cool. Love this place and am hopeful to return another time.

Great location

We came to Crystal Springs to swim with the manatee and enjoy some of the state parks nearby. This property was right in the middle of where we wanted to visit. My grandchildren wanted to fish off the dock but the water is too full or algae and small alligators. We also wanted to grill, unfortunately the leg on the grill is broken and made using very difficult. We did enjoy our stay.

We're sorry to hear that the grill was broken by a previous guest and have since replaced it with a nice new grill! We love the natural environment and wildlife in the lake and also suggest fishing from the recreation area by the dam about a mile from the house.

Great for people who enjoy nature

The property is on a large lake known for bass fishing. The house is pretty basic. Great for fishing buddies but my grandkids loved it. They chased lizards and watched small gators from the dock. About a 20 minute commute into the town of Crystal River. Overall we enjoyed it
