Adorable riverside home! Very clean and well kept. The house had everything my friends and I needed for a great stay. Super convenient to tubing excursions, bars, restaurants, and anything else you could need in the quaint little town of Dunnellon!
Location is fantastic & just what we wanted. It was very quiet as we were closer to the end of the river. A quick jump in with floats near Swampy's amounts to about an 1 hour float back to the house.
We were so comfortable here we had such a good time highly recommend and will definitely be back! The kayaks, canoe, fire pit, water access, basketball hoop, bikes and everything we wanted was ready to play with!
This property has so much to offer and it is in such an aswesome location. The owner reached out and was so friendly with so many recommendations. Check in was a breeze- the house is super well stocked with everything you will possibly need. Such a fun place to stay to enjoy the rainbow river and surrounding area. We highly reccomned it!!
Great home plenty of room for everyone.Setup with everything you would need..spent a lot of time out on the docks and kayaking.Close to everything great places to eat and a beach park for little ones within walking distance. loved it will be back for sure thanks so much
We had a wonderful stay here and what continues to be true is that the view makes up for anything that the property might not have. Would recommend if planning any family trips or getaways to the river, nothing beats waking up and getting on a kayak to go down the river.
We enjoyed the house… especially the dock and kayaks. We wish we could have stayed longer, and would book again. Homeowner called with helpful tips in advance of stay. The house is tucked back off a long driveway… recommend arriving during daylight hours because it was hard to find in the dark. The beds in the main rooms were a bit high for us… some furniture could use updating. But we were comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. Appreciate that the house is pet-friendly. Close to hiking trails, tubing, restaurants. Highly recommend.
We had a great time, kayaked every day. We saw river otters, rurtles, tons of birds and fish. The house had plenty of room for 8 and the yard and dock were amazing! We will definitely be back. Tom and Kelly were very friendly and responsive to our questions. The owners thoughtfully provide a ton of information if you're not familiar with the area.
Loved the river. Excellent location. House was fun. Bunk beds, not so much (no kids with us). Funky kitchen faucet.Wonderful outside amenities--kayaks, canoes, gorgeous deck, easy acess getting out of boats, neat info about the area. Whole house felt oriented toward fun. Loved the fire pit, too!
This property was a dream. Cozy, clean and comfortable. It had everything you needed for a river getaway. The home is situated in a way that provided plenty of privacy, while being minutes from various amenities. We celebrated a friend's birthday and eveyone who came continues to rave about the experience!

Awesome River Vacation
We loved this house. Absolutely amazing! We spent 3 days enjoying Rainbow Springs River right out back every day. All the beds were very comfortable. The house had all the kitchen utensils and cook where you will need. The views were awesome. Very quiet area. Owner is awesome to talk to answered all our questions and gave us all kinds of tips. It was a well deserved couple of days of pure relaxation and fun! We are already booking again next May. The Kovacs Family
Enjoy being out on the covered deck during rainstorms. The property landscaping gave privacy and allowed our group to relax alone or with others as desired. No need to turn on the television as just looking out the windows or sitting on the decks provided live entertainment with the wildlife all around. Easy walking distance to a great donut shop and the historic downtown. Don Peppe was one of the best Mexican Restaurants any of us have ever eaten at just 5 minutes from the house. The Singing River Tour was worth it. Great local guys with in depth knowledge of the area.
The pictures reflect the property perfectly. The dock and water is where we spent the majority of our time. The double deck created amazing views and the perfect jumping platform, while the lower deck stayed cool and in the shade. It was so relaxing and AMAZING!
The only cleanliness issue was the master shower curtain which was really moldy. It is Florida so mold is to be expected. It is probably time to replace that one though.
I stayed here with friends for my 42nd birthday and it was the perfect choice. The house is lovely but my favorite was sitting on the dock and kayaking around.
I love that the house is tucked away from all the river traffic and just a bit past the main pull off area, so it made it quite serene. We fed the fish from the dock. I kayaked a couple times around the bend to where the Rainbow and Chatahoochee rivers converge, which is so cool to see how is goes from clear to not at all. As a group we kayaked up the river a good bit and then back to the house.
We saw soooo many turtles and small, very chill gators. And I watched an otter hunting for breakfast and then dinner quite close to the house which made me so happy.

Family Fun
We wanted a place to gather as a family and enjoy time. We got that in Aces! Some family came and went, some stayed. We All enjoyed our time. There were games and puzzles provided for night time entertainment (tournaments, we’re competitive in a good way), a fire pit for s’mores and hotdogs and such. Days were filled with fishing, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding (equipment provided). Of course, the platform from the top deck was in constant use.The wildlife was excellent! Lots of different birds, fish, gators and the otter that fished the lagoon as we watched was really cool. We’re Floridians and outdoor enthusiasts, so we know to be respectful of our environment as well as aware of surroundings. The experience was everything we wanted. You will find the home comfortable and well equipped. If you are looking for fancy, this ain’t it, but it IS exactly what casual river life feels like.
