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 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.

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.
