About this property

Cabin in the Woods close to KPHole and Free Rainbow River access

Come enjoy a getaway cabin on 3 wooded acres in the quiet peaceful Rio Vista Community. Rio Vista provides a private park with swimming, picnic area, restrooms, and boat ramp. We do have four 10ft kayaks and double kayak, that comes with your rental. Also provided is a roof rack to take your kayaks to the park or a golf cart you can rent. You can put them in at the community park that is 2 min. away. For larger boats, a public boat ramp is 15 minutes away in Dunnellon. We are located within minutes of KP Hole, restaurants and shopping while a close 5 minutes to the fishing, kayaking and tubing of the Rainbow River. The cabin provides a relaxing atmosphere for a week-end getaway. The cabin décor is a great combination of rustic Old Florida and Bass Pro Shop. We have most of the “bells and whistles” you would expect in a two bedroom, 1.5 bath Florida A-Frame cabin. Flat screen smart TV, dish cable, net flix, and Hughes Net satallite internet, updated kitchen but no dishwasher. The downstairs master bedroom enjoys a king-size bed with a full bath. Upstairs guests enjoy a comfortable queen bed and 1/2 bathroom. There is a double Futon for added sleeping. A wrap around porch provides opportunity for outside enjoyment of the Florida sunshine. There is a fure pit with plenty of wood to enjoy an evening fire or make samores. There is an outside gas grill on the deck, propane included, for your enjoyment. This is rustic Old Florida. We have a gravel road with
lots of trees so we have provided a covered carport for your use. There is wildlife in the area so bring your camera and binoculars.

NCAA Gator Getaway

We were looking to explore the area and Rainbow River and this place was excellent!! Plenty of room for everyone and the property is extremely cozy and relaxing. We spent 4 days floating the Rainbow River, enjoyed the fire pit, and dinning in some of the local restaurants. We are a big fan of the Crab Plant and it was within a 30 minute drive so it was perfect.

Fantastic!! And Fun!!

The cabin in the woods was so very cozy. Just our style! The vista park was very convenient and clean. Made it adventure perfect. We used it car to transport it paddleboard with no problem. Just wish we had more time. Plan to come back.

Great place to get away

We had a great stay here. The property is in a quiet, remote location, was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Leslie (host) was extremely responsive anytime we had a question. Having access to the river at the private park, plus use of the kayaks was fantastic. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely property and great stay!

We had a great stay in this cabin. It was very clean. All essentials were provided which was SO nice to have available and not have to purchase/pack many of these items. It was great to be able to bring our pet. We enjoyed our time on the Rainbow River and the park access was perfect!

Always a great place

Everything is as listed. It’s been a home away from home for us. We’ve stayed here 3-4 times. The golf cart wasn’t charging well 9on our last trip, and the brakes were bad, that’s the only thing negative we could say. Otherwise, it’s great!!!
