This house was perfect. Beautiful views, great location, very clean. A group of friends joined me for a birthday trip and we had a blast. The loft with the huge couch was a nice touch!

Family Fun at the Rainbow River

To begin with, communication with the owner is outstanding! Daniel goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. The house is large enough for a big family! It was clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The house is located close to Rainbow Springs Park. The kids enjoyed the indoor basketball game and the Pac man machine. The hot tub was a hit for both the kids and adults! I highly recommend this property!

Better than expected!

This is a great property with a beautiful view of the river. We stayed here with friends and the space was great as it allowed us to be separate but together. :) Daniel was very responsive. The house was very well equipped. We had brought all our own toys for the river, but the house had even better stuff all in excellent shape. Great stay, highly recommend.

Wonderful family time!!!

My family of 9 thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were in town for my nieces graduation from UF and stayed for a few nights to celebrate and enjoy some leisure and water activities. The house slept all 9 of us comfortably and we were able to gather around to have breakfast and lunches together. The kitchen is well stocked and with 3 bathrooms we all had our own privacy. The water toys were awesome! We kayaked and paddleboarded in the backyard and sat on the dock in the shade and enjoyed the views!! I would recommend this place to all and would love to come back! Daniel was fabulous to communicate with. Very prompt and friendly.

Fun house and great location

We enjoyed our stay! It was clean, very comfortable and so close to the bike trails and river. Even though it is at the public entrance to the river, it never got loud, and the gates close at 6, so the evenings were peaceful on the balcony.

Golf Trip

We stayed the weekend for a golf trip. Great location with a wonderful view. The only thing I can say negative, is that I wish there was a bigger TV in the living area. Other than that, I highly recommend staying here if you come to Dunnellon.

Comfortable home with a great view

We were 4 guys having a reunion. We found the home spacious, well stocked and comfortable. The deck off of the living room was a great hang out space overlooking a park and the Rainbow River. We would go there again.

Perfect location close to the river with a view. The accommodations were comfortable and spacious for 7 of us along with 3 dogs. The owner is very prompt in communicating and flexible with check in and check out which we really appreciated. We made great memories here and it was a 5-star stay for our family at Rainbow River. Also our favorite breakfast place is Purple Sage and is only a 1 minute drive.

We had a great weekend just having family time. It was a bit chilly for kayaking but we went blueberry picking, did the state park. Everything was so close to the home which was very clean and spacious with a pretty view. The hosts? I can’t say enough; So Kind, responsive, accommodating. This place was the perfect spot for our family. Thank you for having us.

Perfect place to relax and swim

My husband and I, adult kids, grand kids and mom had a wonderful time at this house. The park behind the house is a perfect place for the kids and adults to safely swim, BBQ and enjoy the outdoors. The house had everything we needed. We rented a pontoon boat one day about a mile away from the house and took a scenic trip up the river, stopping at swimming holes along the way. I would 100% visit this house again.

Fantastic!

This place was perfect for our family Thanksgiving. We throughly enjoyed the house. It was the perfect location to everything. The view of the river is fantastic from several windows in the house. Our granddaughter caught her first fish from the dock in the park. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us! A+
