Hi Robert. Pleased you mentioned the cleanliness in your review and of course that you enjoyed your stay in our home in Yankeetown. Peaceful is a good word for Yankeetown and especially our Riverside Drive street. Amazing that we are only 20 minutes away from the hustle bustle of Crystal River. It's nice to be in a peaceful quiet small town but have the convenience of a larger city nearby, which was initially one of the factors that drew us to Yankeetown. Enjoyed our conversations and would be pleased to see your name on the reservation sheet down the road. Getting ready to up the kayak count from two to four, almost a fleet lol. Take care, Rick

Communication outstanding from the host and the stay was as described. Such an incredibly peaceful area. Definitely would recommend to others. Screened in porch perfect for relaxing and watching the fish jump and short drive to Three sisters Springs where we saw over 100 manatees. Was also able to jog from the house to nearby marsh that had great running trails.

Mornin Brooke. Wishing you a great day. Your review certainly makes for a great day for Tina & myself. Pleased the home and area were a good fit for your family. From our first cruise down Riverside Drive we knew we had come across something special. We honestly shopped there in Yankeetown for ten years to find that home and that piece of property. It’s been a number of tears now, and we continue to love it there today as much as day one. Take care, Rick

Great location for fishing trips

This home was so relaxing and beautiful. Being right on the river our kids had a ton of fun. Was the perfect location for our fishing trip as the marina is just a short distance away. Rick was very helpful and responded immediately to any questions we had. We will stay here again!

Perfect River Retreat!

Our stay was fantastic, beginning to end. We escaped the hustle n bustle of city life to enjoy the peace and serenity the river offers. This home is fully equipped and has a prime location in Yankeetown. We would absolutely come back again and again.

River Pleasure

Wonderful host. Easy access to many springs, parks, beaches and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with all the tools you will need. The local pub is fun and the "Blackwater" restaurant had very fine prepared Grouper and Snapper entrees. Easy drive to many of the Gulf harbors and springs. Spotless accommodation.

Amazing home

The home was very clean and everything was in good working order. Only 20 minutes away from the beautiful Three Sisters Springs in Crystal River, FL. We enjoyed the kayaks that were supplied with the home in Withalucee river that is literally in the backyard. I loved this property. Definitely one of the best I have stayed in by far. We will be back for more memories ❤.

Beautiful, tranquil, and relaxing.

Spend a quiet, relaxing weekend with friends for memorial day. The home was spotless and well appointed. The only suggestion would be a queen in the second bedroom versus the twins. For two couples it was a little awkward with a Murphy bed. Perfect for family style. Had everything we needed for cooking at home. Owners left great notes about local restaurants & things to do.

Beautiful Property!

Very cozy and very clean house! We absolutely loved it! Probably the most comfortable beds we ever slept on at VRBO rentals--totally agree with most of the reviews here. Excellent location- very quiet and private, lots of mature trees and right on the water. Kayaking and fishing there was so much fun. Our teen son caught a huge Red fish with captain Eric Hasty. We saw manatee right from the lanai one morning. Great communication with owner Rick, we had no problems during our stay, it was very relaxing and very enjoyable. One of our favorite properties, highly recommend it!

Relaxing and Beautiful

This is a wonderful place to stay. It is located on the Withlacooche River in Yankeetown and it has a nice upstairs screened back patio that looks over the River and the boat dock. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood and just a few blocks away from a great restaurant. The master bedroom has a comfortable bed and a nice shower and bathroom. The second bedroom has two beds and its own bathroom and shower. This is a great area for fishing, boating, kayaking, running, walking, bike riding, or just relaxing. The owners are friendly and very responsive. We have relatives in the area and we stay up this way often, and we hope to return in the near future.

Quiet River getaway

My boyfriend and I stayed with my sister and husband, we had a great mini vacation away for Orlando. The property was described as exactly as it was. It was comfortable, accommodating and very clean. My family took part in the kayaks while I fished one day. Another day we took a short ride to crystal river where we rented a pontoon boat for most of the afternoon. Fishing off the property, I caught catfish and mullet, we saw manatee and an alligator. There was a convenient grocery store not too far that provided anything we forgot or needed. I love Elvis and learned he filmed Follow that dream there, information at the welcome center is available. We’re sad to get back to reality but thanks to this place we had a great getaway.

Excellent and Comfortable Home with a View

This very clean and well-appointed home was a pleasure for our family of three to enjoy for a week. We loved sitting out on the screened-in porch and watching the variety of birds that call this area home. The kitchen has any cooking implement you might need and we enjoyed many home-cooked meals. We wished the charcoal grill was a gas grill which would have allowed us to do more grilling however, we were very happy with the kitchen. Bathrooms were comfortable with each having two separate sinks and good shower (shampoo and condition included!). Air conditioning worked well though, mostly we kept it off as we opened the sliding door for fresh air. All in all, we had a wonderful stay at this peaceful, comfortable and well-situated river house.

Quiet Paradise

I can’t say enough about this diamond tucked on the river in Yankeetown. The home is gorgeous, spotless, well-equipped, and close enough to Crystal River, but far from the crowds. There’s not a lot to do if you are a social butterfly, but for us it was perfect. We read, rested, walked, biked, kayaked, and swam with the manatees. This house has everything you could possibly need for a great get away. The little town is lovely, the people are nice. We had a pizza the first night from Our Pub down the street. It’s a little locals dive where the pizza is hot and the beer is cold. We made reservations and ate at the Blackwater Restaurant that is literally two minutes away. It’s waterfront and upscale. I had the chef’s special which was snapper. We drove to Captain Mike’s Swimming with the Manatees in Crystal River and enjoyed a private manatee swim. Everything you need for a nice kayaking day on the river is right beneath the house. The screened in porch was perfect for reading and relaxing. We will definitely stay here again. Don’t sleep on this beautiful experience.
