Grill your catch of the day on the provided gas grill and eat on the deck under the stars. The backyard is completely fenced and has two beautiful old oaks with huge staghorn ferns offering you plenty of shade. If you want some family fun try your skill at corn hole. There are many bird feeders so you can enjoy watching many varieties of birds as they come and go. If you choose to take day trips we are located close to Orlando with all of it's attractions and Tampa which is home to Bush Gardens. If you love to eat out our area offers some of the finest seafood in Florida. We have numerous festivals throughout the year celebrating our pioneer and Indian history and seafood festivals allowing you to taste all the local foods. I love this area of Florida for it's beauty and laid back lifestyle. So come and enjoy, relax, unwind, in what Florida once looked like.

My husband and I wanted a quiet, peaceful atmosphere where we could bring our two dogs and just experience nature. The yard was fenced so we felt comfortable letting the dogs out and being able to go out your back door and kayak down the river was wonderful! It was close enough to local places to eat and to Rainbow River State Park. Overall, very nice stay and would definitely go back.

The house was very clean and fully equipped in the kitchen. The only thing that was needed was a good can opener.

River Getaway

The River house was a perfect getaway for us on spring break! We used the house as our home base for exploring Florida’s Nature’s coast including the many state parks that are only a short drive from the house, including the Gulf. We were able to explore springs, find manatees, and use the house’s wonderful amenities like the kayaks, and amazing sitting areas overlooking the river. The host has thought of everything and has set up a very cozy atmosphere with plenty of seating allowing for our small family to have some space and enjoy the sounds and sites of the river while reading, birding, and just relaxing. We were thrilled with the variety of wildlife the river has to offer- including pileated woodpeckers,, turkeys, turtles, fish, and many other bird species. The house was stocked with basic cooking equipment essentials for cooking family meals, and we were able to eat around the beautiful table each night- which when you have teenagers- you know what a gift that is. The beds were comfy, and the entire house was clean. The host was very responsive, though to be honest, we didn’t need much besides confirming the check in time, and to let her know we arrived and all was well with the house. You really should check out the River house if you are looking for a quiet place on the river, that you can be low key and relaxed at, and use it as a jumping off point to explore the Natural Coast. You couldn’t ask for a better host!

House on the Withlacoochee River

Comfortable house on the river. Nice outside area for relaxing. Convenient to town and stores. We enjoyed walking at Blue Run Park of Dunnellon. Very close to Rainbow Springs State Park.
