I had a wonderful stay at the rental. The property was clean and inviting. The back sunroom with the view of Lake Rouseau was a treat. Very relaxing with amazing sunsets. It was a great place to stay to further explore Crystal River and beyond. The check-in process was seamless, and Amy was very helpful and responsive. It was a great place to stay!

Our 3rd visits to this lovely property. Amy is very accommodating and makes sure everything is up to par.We love the view of Lake Rosseau. Always a treat for us, so quiet and peaceful. The fenced in yard is so great for our senior dog. She loves being able to be outside - a definite plus for us.Can't wait until we are able to return again. Our favorite place to spend some special time.

We had an amazing few days with our family. The home was cozy, very well kept, and we loved that it was fully stocked with everything we needed. Amy was extremely responsive and truly an amazing host. The only downside was that the fishing wasn’t very good as we didn’t catch anything. Overall, we had the best time and would absolutely recommend staying here!

The house was wonderfully placed along the south shore of Lake Rousseau, with kayaks for our use. The house had two bedrooms, TV room, screen porch, and large kitchen-dining room combo. The furniture was good--the bed comfortable. We did not understand how to work the toaster oven and had trouble with roku TV but otherwise enjoyed the comforts and appliances of the house.

The home was very nice with open living/dining area. We were able to connect to the Wi-Fi easily and enjoyed the back yard area with the beautiful views, sunsets and nature. We have a small dog who enjoyed the fenced in back yard. The location is ideal for activities in Crystal River as well as Homosassa. We look forward to another visit.
