You will also have direct access to the Gulf of Mexico from that ramp. Bike or walk the area trails. There are 2 kayaks and a canoe for your use. How about a round of golf after a little fishing, so don’t forget your clubs. There are several championship courses nearby. The open concept of this home is comfortable and great for entertaining.

Our 3rd visits to this lovely property. Amy is very accommodating and makes sure everything is up to par.We love the view of Lake Rosseau. Always a treat for us, so quiet and peaceful. The fenced in yard is so great for our senior dog. She loves being able to be outside - a definite plus for us.Can't wait until we are able to return again. Our favorite place to spend some special time.

We had an amazing few days with our family. The home was cozy, very well kept, and we loved that it was fully stocked with everything we needed. Amy was extremely responsive and truly an amazing host. The only downside was that the fishing wasn’t very good as we didn’t catch anything. Overall, we had the best time and would absolutely recommend staying here!

We have a small dog who enjoyed the fenced in back yard. The location is ideal for activities in Crystal River as well as Homosassa. We look forward to another visit.

The house was wonderfully placed along the south shore of Lake Rousseau, with kayaks for our use. The house had two bedrooms, TV room, screen porch, and large kitchen-dining room combo. The furniture was good--the bed comfortable. We did not understand how to work the toaster oven and had trouble with roku TV but otherwise enjoyed the comforts and appliances of the house.
