We had a great getaway at this property! It’s in a great location and easy to find. The house was very clean when we arrived with all the amenities we needed. We went out to dinner one night and cooked the other two nights. The kitchen was well equipped with everything too!The back screened in porch was relaxing to sit it with a great view of the dock on the river and the woods across the way. We had fun fishing off the dock and we also took the kayaks out. We explored the Rainbow River and went swimming at the springs. This was the getaway we needed! Thank you, Karen for being an amazing host!
We had such a wonderful stay at this house, it truly felt like the perfect family getaway. One of our favorite parts was kayaking right from the property. Being out on the water, surrounded by nature, was incredibly peaceful and refreshing.We were lucky enough to see wild turkeys, a variety of birds, and even squirrels during our stay, which made the experience feel even more special and connected to nature. The area is very quiet, making it easy to completely disconnect and relax.The house itself was comfortable and had everything we needed. It felt safe and welcoming, and we especially appreciated that our dog could enjoy the space safely too.Overall, it had everything we could have asked for in a relaxing family escape. We would absolutely love to come back!
This was a great place for us to stay while visiting my brother in Dunnellon. The fenced backyard was perfect for our pet. This is by far the most well stocked vacation rental we have ever stayed at. Very comfortable overall.
My family loves this rental! We have visited twice of the holiday weekend and enjoyed it very much both times. The property is clean and equipped with the essentials. Our family enjoyed the scenic backyard and fishes right from the dock. Highly recommend!
This is our second stay here. Enjoy the house, porch, and yard. Fenced in yard is great for our dog. Owners go out of their way to help you with any concerns. Thank you for letting us stay.
This was our second stay and it was outstanding again. Clean, comfortable, well furnished and supplied, and serene. For a laid back, relaxing get away it is ideal. Within 5 minutes of our arrival we were asking ourselves why we waited 2 years between trips. We will return - again!
This was our 3rd time staying at this property and there is a reason we keep coming back. My kids love fishing off the dock and running around in the backyard. The property is the perfect size for a family of 4 with a good amount of space for everyone. We already have 2 more trips booked to return. Great find not too far from Rainbow River!
We could not have picked a better place for what we needed. The location was great. Quiet and cozy! The backyard was secure for the pup while also giving us easy access to the river. The house had everything you could possibly need and more. It was clean and comfortable! Thank you for a great vacation.

Absolutely amazing place to come and relax, especially with dogs. Very nicely equipped in terms of kitchen and bathroom. Having access to kayaks and bikes is a special touch too! Excellent communication throughout the booking process and stay. The water level was low when we were there so it too two people to carefully get kayaks in and out of the water but all the waterways and places to explore were more than worth it. The folder of information was thorough and very helpful. Already booked a return visit!
Outstanding property in a beautiful area that provides everything you need for a first-class stay. Very well maintained both inside and out and stocked with toys galore. We took the kayaks out daily from the dock and explored up and down the river. Tons of other options for kayaking, biking, hiking, etc in the immediate area make this the perfect base camp for your Nature’s Coast adventure.
House was as stated. Very clean and could tell it was well cared for home. Our dog enjoyed the fenced backyard. Good restaurants in the area. It was somewhat chilly while we were there, so no fish were biting. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
What a great place! The home was plenty big for my husband, me and our 2 pups and it was one of the cleanest homes I've ever been in. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking, the 2 beds were large and comfortable, and the A/C was nice and cold! Outside was a big surprise with a very large, fenced in yard, right on the river with a wonderful dock, kayaks and a fire-pit to use, and a lot of beautiful trees. Overall this was such a quiet, peaceful place and we will definitely stay here again; we loved it!
Our stay was very enjoyable! From the creek/river that runs behind the house and having kayaks on hand to enjoy was great! We like that the house had almost everything we needed except a lighter to light the outside firepit lol! We had to get creative with that one. Overall it was a enjoyable, quiet stay even though the Florida weather was a little off that week. 😁
It’s all about the details, they put allot of time into the details. The soft sheets, the perfectly fenced in yard, kayaks, bikes, fire pit, towels, pots pans, everything you could think of and more. They even had a s’mores kit to make the perfect gram cracker marshmellow treat over the fire. On the river and 9 minutes away from Dunkin donuts
This was our second time staying at Karen and Ed’s lovely home on the river. It felt like coming home. Our hosts think of everything. There is not one thing I would change. It’s quiet and peaceful and lovely. We kayaked and ate out and sat on the river deck. Our dogs were safe and enjoyed protecting us from the squirrels.
We’re coming back next year!
This place never ceases to amaze us with how beautiful and relaxing it is. It is just far enough from everything to feel secluded but close enough to whatever you want or need. There’s plenty of things to do in the area or nothing at all. I just wish everyone that stays here would stop telling people how great it is because it’s getting so hard to find openings to come back. That being said if you stay here you won’t regret it as it will draw you in and you’ll want to come back again and again. Never had a trip here that wasn’t exactly what we needed to have a nice relaxing time and enjoy the great outdoors. Plus the local restaurants are really good as well.
We were looking for a rental in this area because it reminds us of "old Florida". This property appealed to us for the location, the deck and waterfront, and the fenced yard - which was fabulous for our 2 Golden Retrievers. What we didn't expect was the incredibly attention to detail that was provided. The host's were superb, and obviously go out of their way to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. I would rate this a 10 if that were possible. We very much look forward to our next visit back here!
Everything about our stay at Karen's was perfect. The house is spotless from top to bottom. The kitchen is well stocked, but not cluttered. The bed was super comfy. I honestly can't think of anything they didn't think of to make this beautiful home a special place to get away to. As someone posted earlier, it's all about attention to detail. We OP really appreciated the lightweight kayaks as the river was low and it was a bit of a drop to the launch. Had a great time just paddling around the area. So much to do in this area if you like the outdoors. Citrus Springs Trailhead to the Withlacoochee Bike Trail just 6 miles away. We've stayed in many homes in the Inverness, Floral City, Dunnellon area over the past few years. This one is top notch!
