Quiet, Relaxing, Very well stocked

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.

Relaxing family getaway

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!

A relaxing river getaway

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!

With it on the Withlacoochee

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.

Country Cottage

Our stay was very enjoyable! From the creek/river that runs behind the house and having kayaks on hand to enjoy was great! We like that the house had almost everything we needed except a lighter to light the outside firepit lol! We had to get creative with that one. Overall it was a enjoyable, quiet stay even though the Florida weather was a little off that week. 😁

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

Wonderful!

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!

This was our second time staying at Karen and Ed’s lovely home on the river. It felt like coming home. Our hosts think of everything. There is not one thing I would change. It’s quiet and peaceful and lovely. We kayaked and ate out and sat on the river deck. Our dogs were safe and enjoyed protecting us from the squirrels. We’re coming back next year!

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.
