This place is amazing! We stayed the week of Thanksgiving. The house is super clean and spacious and had a great view of the Rainbow River!! The location is beautiful. The paddle boards were perfect. Definitely one of the best places I have stayed! I will definitely stay here again. You have easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, and most of all easy access to the Rainbow River!The Host is also very pleasant to work with and was very responsive to any questions we had before during and after our trip!Definitely 5 stars all the way!

This was by far one of my favorite VRBO rentals! It was not only in a great location, right on the river, close to the springs, and supermarkets, it was so unique and spacious. Normally I bring blankets and towels because most rentals have the bare minimum but they had everything you can imagine. It felt like a home away from home. We grilled every night enjoyed the jacuzzi as well. Great rental!!

Beautiful and comfortable place!

This house was perfect. Beautiful views, great location, very clean. A group of friends joined me for a birthday trip and we had a blast. The loft with the huge couch was a nice touch!

Very nice, comfortable set up for a small group or family. It was close to everything that we needed & wanted …including the city beach. Lots of water toys were available if you want to haul them out. We decided to rent for the kayak & tubing events, just easier. The communication with the host was quick & helpful. I highly recommend.

Family Fun at the Rainbow River

To begin with, communication with the owner is outstanding! Daniel goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. The house is large enough for a big family! It was clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The house is located close to Rainbow Springs Park. The kids enjoyed the indoor basketball game and the Pac man machine. The hot tub was a hit for both the kids and adults! I highly recommend this property!

We spent our days on the river and felt very cozy at the house for our mornings and evenings. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. And I appreciated the hosts checking in the day we areived to make sure everything went smoothly upon arrival. Thank you!!

Better than expected!

This is a great property with a beautiful view of the river. We stayed here with friends and the space was great as it allowed us to be separate but together. :) Daniel was very responsive. The house was very well equipped. We had brought all our own toys for the river, but the house had even better stuff all in excellent shape. Great stay, highly recommend.

Wonderful family time!!!

My family of 9 thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were in town for my nieces graduation from UF and stayed for a few nights to celebrate and enjoy some leisure and water activities. The house slept all 9 of us comfortably and we were able to gather around to have breakfast and lunches together. The kitchen is well stocked and with 3 bathrooms we all had our own privacy. The water toys were awesome! We kayaked and paddleboarded in the backyard and sat on the dock in the shade and enjoyed the views!! I would recommend this place to all and would love to come back! Daniel was fabulous to communicate with. Very prompt and friendly.

Fun house and great location

We enjoyed our stay! It was clean, very comfortable and so close to the bike trails and river. Even though it is at the public entrance to the river, it never got loud, and the gates close at 6, so the evenings were peaceful on the balcony.

Golf Trip

We stayed the weekend for a golf trip. Great location with a wonderful view. The only thing I can say negative, is that I wish there was a bigger TV in the living area. Other than that, I highly recommend staying here if you come to Dunnellon.
