About this property

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. The spacious back deck provides unobstructed views of the lakefront splendor.

Enjoy boating and fishing on the lake and up the tributary Withlacoochee and Rainbow Rivers that feed the lake. The Inglis Recreation Area is located approximately 1 mile from the property for easy and free launching of your watercraft. After launching, feel free to tie up at our private pier/dock. Lake Rousseau is know for an abundance of wildlife including a large variety of wading birds, beautiful Sand Hill cranes, Osprey, Bald Eagles, tons of fish and of course alligators (which makes it not ideal for swimming) :)

Please note: the boat on the property is strictly ornamental and not for guest use.

Peaceful

The view is breathtaking. Gorgeous sunsets most nights we were there. We enjoyed our time in the area. Beds were comfortable. If you need internet it is spotty at best. We missed alot of the football play off games due to this.

Peaceful place with a great view!

Close to Crystal River shopping, the Rainbow and swim with the Manatees. Very nice neighborhood of homes on a peaceful lake. You can fish about a mile at the resevoir. Nice covered docks. We enjoyed cooking out by the lake and sitting out on the patio sipping coffee early in the morning.

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.

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

Lake of Alligators

We loved the peaceful setting and beautiful lake house. The microwave wave didn’t work but we contacted owner who worked with us to replace it. The tub drained out slowly but it was fine. Internet is spotty and intermittent. We fished from the dock beyond the plants and the plastic frog attracted a lot of gators. It was difficult to fish there ultimately but it was an experience. We had fun in the area and enjoyed a couple great seafood restaurants. A good trip overall.

Sweet get away

Great get away with my husband and dog. Steve and Robyn’s home is in a good location, 15 mins from Dunnellon and 15 mins from Crystal river stocked with most everything you need. Be aware, there was flooding on North Northcut Drive, the main road to get to this house. Luckily we had a vehicle able to get through but with all the rain they had just got, it did not look like it would be receding any time soon. The neighbors are quiet, and the yard is big enough for a dog to run around, however it is not all fenced in and there are gators, so just keep an eye out on your pup. Overall this was a pleasant and tidy home to stay in!

The place is in a perfect spot for fishing. The dock is nice the only thing that I could say is all of the vegetation in the water but for the place itself it was very clean and very nice.
