Fun for all ages
We loved our stay at Paradise! The scenery is beautiful. The location was perfect for enjoying the river. Our extended family group-ages 3-71 had a blast with the numerous river toys provided by our host. We tubed, kayaked, paddle boarded, fished and snorkeled-all equipment was provided! The house was fabulously appointed and pretty. We highly recommend Paradise on Rainbow River.

Amazing
Everything you would ever need is there for you. We kayaked, paddle boarded, canoed, tubed, fished, swam off the dock, had a fire and grilled every night. Inside was all new and clean, comfortable beds, nice showers, all the towels and linens you need. Perfect!

Well appointed and nice property
This space worked well for our group. River access is easy. You can swim right off the dock. The house is clean and there are plenty of available toys included there. If you are not having fun here, it is your own fault.

Perfect location on the river
My family and I rented this home for spring break and it was amazing. House looked exactly like the pictures. The location on Rainbow River was the best. We rented a pontoon boat for a couple days and guess it to the dock. House was fully stocked with towels and supplies. Beds were comfortable. We will be renting again. Thank you

Annual Rainbow River birthday celebration
This is my third year celebrating my birthday somewhere on Rainbow River. This is the first home I rented actually on the Rainbow River. And it was excellent. No complaints at all. Stocked with everything beautiful home and perfect right there on the river.
