Relaxing
Enjoy being out on the covered deck during rainstorms. The property landscaping gave privacy and allowed our group to relax alone or with others as desired. No need to turn on the television as just looking out the windows or sitting on the decks provided live entertainment with the wildlife all around. Easy walking distance to a great donut shop and the historic downtown. Don Peppe was one of the best Mexican Restaurants any of us have ever eaten at just 5 minutes from the house. The Singing River Tour was worth it. Great local guys with in depth knowledge of the area.

Big Group Vacation
We had a wonderful stay here and what continues to be true is that the view makes up for anything that the property might not have. Would recommend if planning any family trips or getaways to the river, nothing beats waking up and getting on a kayak to go down the river.

This property was a dream. Cozy, clean and comfortable. It had everything you needed for a river getaway. The home is situated in a way that provided plenty of privacy, while being minutes from various amenities. We celebrated a friend's birthday and eveyone who came continues to rave about the experience!

Such a delight
I stayed here with friends for my 42nd birthday and it was the perfect choice. The house is lovely but my favorite was sitting on the dock and kayaking around. I love that the house is tucked away from all the river traffic and just a bit past the main pull off area, so it made it quite serene. We fed the fish from the dock. I kayaked a couple times around the bend to where the Rainbow and Chatahoochee rivers converge, which is so cool to see how is goes from clear to not at all. As a group we kayaked up the river a good bit and then back to the house. We saw soooo many turtles and small, very chill gators. And I watched an otter hunting for breakfast and then dinner quite close to the house which made me so happy.

Love Love Love this Home!!!
We are 2nd time returning guests at this property and definitely won’t be the last, already making plans for 3rd time to make more memories at this home. First, the home is equipped with EVERYTHING you need for you and your family, its a home away from home; kitchen is equipped with all the tools needed and thensome, the bathrooms, the bedrooms, family room, simply comfortable and well kept. The homeowner recently made a few upgrades, which was nice and noticeable. The firepit is well kept and both the bottom and top outdoor decks are amazing. Which happens to be our favorite part of visiting Rainbow Springs/Dunnellon. We have 3 boys and stayed with 2 additional families with kids/teens as well and the jumping off the deck into the beautiful and fresh river is absolutely an experience like no other, we look forward to it every year. Secondly and just as important is the homeowner - Gilbert. He is very responsive, kind and seems to care very much about this property and it shows. Thank you Gilbert!!! Expect us in 2024 again!! No other property comes close to this one; its location on the river, the homes accommodations, cleanliness, comfort, neighborhood, the available kayaks and canoes at the home and they are very well maintained, the decks and all that jumping off of them into the river and enjoying the early morning rise and the sundown, and of course - Gilbert (the owner). Don’t take my word for it, experience it for yourself, you won’t regret it!

Great Week on Rainbow River
We spent the week swimming at the dock, kayaking around the Rainbow River in the provided kayaks and canoes (4 single kayaks, 2 double kayaks, and 1 canoe), and exploring both the Rainbow River and the nearby Crystal River. The house came with everything needed to have a good time on the river. The host called the night of check in just to make sure everything was OK and to give tips on the area and how to have a good time while there. I would definitely choose this place again.

Dunnellon stay
Had a wonderful time with the family during our stay at this house. Plenty of space in the house for our family. Having four bedrooms and 2 with the bunk beds made it ideal for the grandchildren. Loved the two-story dock, using the kayaks, fire pit, perfect for a family getaway. Host was extremely reachable.

Cute house with a great dock/deck and swimming area!
My husband and our two kids, my parents, and our friends with their two kids stayed at this location. The house was cute but the best part was the 2 story dock/deck which is where we hung out the most. But first let me brag on the owner! The night before we talked on the phone for 30 minutes ! He was so nice and gave me a rundown on things to do there and local places to visit. Property manger was also super nice and accommodating! We brought our Roku box for the bedroom especially since we had a 6 year old and a 9 month old. We fished, snorkeled, kayaked, did yoga in the morning (so beautiful and quiet first thing), and of course jumped off the top deck into the water about 100 times! We had a Blast and will definitely be back next year! Thanks again for a wonderful place to make great memories with our family!

Great location!
The home was clean and really close to local restaurants, KP Home, and the Head Springs at the state park. We enjoyed our stay and spent lots of time swimming at the state park and paddling on the river. The scenery was gorgeous and sitting on the top deck while the sun comes up is an absolute must!

Short family getway
For the price very reasonable, house & property is tired. There were two 4-6 foot alligators in the water by the house which was a concern for our 5 year old. Would not stay more than 3 days. It worked for our large group. Bring toilet paper, garbage bags and wood if you want fire.

Very relaxing sitting on the docks, got to see a small alligator. Kitchen well equipped.
I'll rent this house again having the kayaks and bikes was great. Very homey feel, and the grill worked great. Sat out at the firepit and talked for hours. Great time great stay. Only issue was in the other bedrooms there was no TV and the one in the primary you needed a computer to hook up to. But that was stated in the site and wasn't a deal breaker for us.
