The natural setting and wildlife of this lazy river is ideal for fishing, kayaking and relaxing with the slow pace life style. The Rainbow River is accessible by water from your own boat dock. Also, a few miles down river is famous Lake Rousseau, the 'Bass Fishing Capital'. The combination of these two great rivers and Lake Rousseau provide unlimited opportunities. Enjoy: fishing, boating, kayaking, picnicking, tubing, snorkeling, swimming, and the making of some great memories.

You will feel the old Florida charm in this newly remodeled 3/2 home with tin roof. Wait until you see the large kitchen with new maple cabinets, tile floor, and beautiful granite counter tops. Kitchen has dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator with ice maker and range.

The spacious living room features hardwood floors and beautiful wood panel Florida room with french doors, and a smart TV. This room has a nice view of the backyard and river. It provides a wonderful space to entertain or just relax.

The Master Suite has hardwood floors, a queen size bed and a half wall loft that overlooks the master suite. This upscale master suite has it all. A cherry mantle over a wood burning fireplace and smart tv, blue-ray DVD, 5 disk CD player with Sony surround sound. All of this in combination with the private bathroom which features a large mirrored granite top vanity, rain shower and whirlpool Jacuzzi tub.

Old Florida stone columns outline the large open air carport. The walkway wraps around to the backyard which has a stone pavers courtyard complete with a wood burning fire pit and charcoal grill.

Beautiful Nature Experience
My husband and I stayed 12 days at Rudy's River House and had a wonderful time. The house is spacious furnished and supplied great. The scenery is beautiful and there is lots of water foul. The resident Sandhill Cranes were a daily visitor. All in all it is a great place with a great host.

Wonderful!
This is a beautiful home with everything you need. Sleep well in one of the comfortable beds. Wake up with a river view and a cup of coffee on the backyard swing. Cook a meal in the fully stocked kitchen or go out to eat in nearby Dunnellon. Wrap up your day with a fire in the firepit or the fireplace (firewood was supplied by the host), or just relax in the spacious Florida room with lots of comfortable seating. There is lots of space in this home, lots of places to sit, lovely views, abundant wildlife...and it's close enough to town to just run out and get what you're missing. Rudy was very easy to communicate with and accommodated all of our needs. Thanks, Rudy!

Beautiful View
We absolutely loved our stay at the River House. The view of the River is just beautiful. It was so relaxing and peaceful. We spent most of our time either sitting on the back porch watching the water go by or fishing on the dock. We were able to catch a couple bass too. The neighborhood is very quiet. We brought our bikes and road around the neighborhood. I accidently left my glasses behind when we left to go home and the owner let me know immediately. He was a pleasure to talk to and very helpful in getting them back to me. The home is equipped with everything that you would need for a lovely stay. It was the getaway that we needed. We can't wait to go back!

This property is so beautiful -like a Florida post card, right on the river, with a spacious lawn, fire-pit and dock. The interior is spotless, offering every comfort and amenity, 3 big screen tvs - 2 with theatre seating. Carport made loading and unloading very convenient.

R & R
Husband and I needed a low key, relaxing vacay and that’s exactly what we had! The home was comfortable and clean. The furnishings, including the master bed, was particularly comfortable. Each morning began with visits from sandhill cranes and coffee in the backyard watching the river. We brought our pontoon boat and was pleased to have the launch very close and the private dock to tie up to all week. Although we did bring fishing equipment, we didn’t use it all. Instead, we just cruised for hours enjoying the birdwatching and relaxing. Definitely a favorite VRBO.

What a wonderful stay!
This house was WELL stocked with everything you would need. Very clean and well designed for family living. We love looking at all the memorabilia. Nice trip down memory lane. Fishing off the dock was fun, although they were not biting my dough balls, must get better bait next time. Easy Kayak launch and parking for a rented motor boat from Blue Gators, up the river. Loved listening to and watching all the wild life. Beautiful sunsets too! What a wonderful Vacation home, so peaceful and close to everything. We highly recommend this home, and hopefully will return again! AAA++++ ALL the Way

Quality Family Time
This rental is on a large lot, beautifully landscaped with a circular driveway providing ample room for a boat trailer and several cars. There are two different common areas and a sitting room off of the master bedroom that allow guests to engage in different activities. We enjoyed playing chess, cards, board games, and completed a jig saw puzzle - all provided by our host. We conveniently moored our boat on the private dock, cast out fishing lines, grilled and enjoyed watching the birds from the back porch swing. The host responded quickly to all messages and provided all the essentials we needed for a relaxing stay. Absolutely recommend this rental.

2nd Stay home away from home
This was our second time staying with Rudy. 2 years apart. The house had everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortable, better than a hotel 😂. The tub was amazing after being on the water all day.. The nature was incredible too. I hope to be able to spend another week there in another 2 years. Thank you Rudy!!

River House
Just got home from a long weekend at the River House. Had a great time and house did not disappoint. Great location! Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy watching the Withlacoochee River flow by. Worked out great with a dock for the boat and for the kids to fish on all day. Rudy made it nice and easy. Highly recommend this place.

Great views and location!
The house was perfect and in a great location. It was close to grocery stores, restaurants and several of the water activities we wanted to do. The sunsets at night were amazing. The place was clean and very well supplied. We enjoyed walking around the area in the morning to see all the wildlife out and about before everyone else got moving. I would definitely stay here again with my family!
