Family of four with a 12 and 15-year-old. Everyone enjoyed this place. Wildlife galore! Views of the river from almost any room. Whether inside or out we saw birds, otters, turtles… House was as described. Beds were comfortable. Life jackets, water toys, and kayak/paddle board were enjoyed. Communication was great. The electricity went out for a few hours and Micheal called to check in and let us know the estimated time of repair from the utility company. Due to a rainy windy day, Michael shared a few places indoors to check out and restaurants. This place lives up to its name! Rainbow Springs Serenity

Great location and experience overall. But guests should know every room has a different floor height and transition, some are several inches different. They are lighted and marked with reflectors but it’s very odd and presents a tripping hazard and mobility issue. Also, it’s not walkable to the State park as listed.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 March 2026

Mr. Ruckart, Thank you for taking the time to review the Serenity. Per our house rules, we state that any of our guests that has any mobility issues that we will supply ramps if requested. We believe the state park you address is the head of the springs. This takes about 20 minutes to arrive by car/truck. State park/ tuber exit/bike trail is within walking distance. Around 10 minutes by foot or around 3 minutes by vehicle. We are sorry for any confusion you or your son may have had. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to correspond with us to alleviate any more concerns you may have. Again thank for for staying with us. Rainbow Springs Serenity

This is a fantastic property! Very quiet, peaceful spot directly on the Rainbow River. The mornings were especially memorable, sitting out on the dock, drinking coffee and watching the abundant wildlife(otters, anhingas, and turtles to name a few). Kayaks, paddleboards, and floats were all included to maximize enjoyment of the river. Hope to stay there again in the future!

Relaxation on the River

It was a great location for tubing down to Swampy’s or just chilling on the dock. The waterfront access is amazing for the kayaks and paddle boards provided. Very comfortable inside and out.

Jo was such an amazing host! Absolutely loved my stay here for my 29th Birthday. This has been one of my most memorable & relaxing experiences for a birthday and I'm glad I got to spend it on the river. The home has everything you need kayaks, paddle boards ect and all the indoor amenities. The beds were so comfy and the outdoor shower was a nice touch. Thank you so much for the beautiful stay, I cannot wait to return.

We had a party of six with three kids and three adults spending the week playing and floating on the river. It was a great time. We brought two of our kayaks and river tubes and enjoyed floating, kayaking and swimming right off the dock.
