Dunnellon is minutes away, a charming town with casual dining on the river (we like Swampy's and the very fresh mahi sandwich), boat rentals, canoe or kayak rentals or tubing.
During the winter months, rent a pontoon in Crystal River, about a fifteen minute drive, bring your snorkel gear and swim with the manatees. (The snorkeling is also fabulous in Rainbow Springs).
If you are a golfer, there is an 18 hole great course including wonderful restaurant, just 5 minutes away, and another 9 hole course also 5 minutes away. Both are open to the public.
Many guests rent our home during the HITS events in the winter. HITS is 25 to 30 minutes away.
If you are into fishing, nearby Lake Rousseau is famous for bass fishing. Ocala is a twenty minute drive if you need a city and shopping malls; however, Dunnellon has a great Winn Dixie and Publix less than 5 minutes away, a Walmart that's open 24 hours a day, Walgreens, CVS and more than enough to allow you to enjoy your vacation in a laid back environment.
The people are super friendly. There are many other quaint towns to visit within an hour drive or less, including Weeki Wachee State Park with famous mermaid shows. But you can just swim in Rainbow Springs every day, come back to this home and be perfectly serene, content and fulfilled.
