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.

Loved the setting, the house… used the firepit nightly after fishing- a perfect combination! Appreciated the nice dock with electric dockside for recharging boat batteries nightly. Also easy to launch kayaks! Our family met to celebrate TG / Christmas together… Definitely made use of the kitchen! Plenty of space for everyone ( 5 adults). Could have housed more with the expansive living room & family room. An abundance of water birds, squirrels, and turtles visited the yard daily- coming from frigid Ohio, this was such a great change. The mature trees added such a relaxing Florida feel.
Looking back to the house from the ample dock.
Romancing turtles ( there were 2) met up in the side yard to visit.
A warm fire after a full day on the water.

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.

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!!

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

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.

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.

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!
