They met us, chatted with us and considered our specific interests and suggested lovely activities that suited our family perfectly. Their family has been stewards of this river for 50+ years and have fascinating stories to tell. The house is very clean, newly remodeled, well-furnished and thoughtfully equipped. We kayaked to the beautiful wildlife area that is across the river from the house. The area is stunning with birds, turtles and wildlife! We had the pleasure of spotting some gators down river and taking a swim (much further down, not near the gators!). There is a perfect firepit set up in the yard. Gordon helped my sons catch fish off their big deck with the poles that are also provided. Susan has considered every detail you would need. She even has metal hotdog/marshmallow sticks for the fire! This was an experience we will treasure forever. Thank you, all, you are a wonderful family. ##### ilona l. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim M.

Susan & Harvey, the owners, have taken exceptional care in creating a dream home on the water. From the beautiful hardwood floors, to top-end appliances in the kitchen, stonework and tile bathrooms and fine linens. They even have wood for the fire pit. Enjoy coffee on the dock or on the porch in the mornings and watch the beautiful sunsets in the evening. It is so peaceful and a wonderful retreat! We will be back! Nikki & Mike ##### Nicolette D.

Feb 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing on River The entire family throughly enjoyed our stay. Hosts are ever so helpful and friendly. They provided kayaks and life jackets of top quality to paddle down the spring fed River. There is also a dock and plenty of fishing equipment. House is perfect dish TV and WI-FI and as clean as a whistle! All equipment was brand new: washer/dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator, and TVs. Future guests don’t mess it up we’re coming back. Great location near at least a dozen fine restaurants - seafood on the River, wonderful Cuban food! Great Greek for lunch. Took my Waverunner up the River to Rainbow Springs incredibly clear water and lots of friendly locals. My girls enjoyed the art and antique shops. There is even a small boat ramp only a block away. We loved it and will return soon. ##### Robert F.

If you love nature this is the right place to be. Beautiful river at the back of the property and the owner is real gold. Helpful and always ready to assist you in case you need it. Many interesting sites at just min from there and if you like to fish and be away from the noise of the city no better place than this. Thanks Susan for the fantastic time spent there.

Jan 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Place, Great Amenities This is a beautiful place to visit. We were here for 3/nights and it was great! We loved all of the amenities, from sitting around the fire pit to sitting on the dock, to paddling around the islands on Lake Rousseau. We even saw an alligator paddle by while kayaking and a huge, friendly, cooter turtle visited us on the deck our first morning! There are loads of fish, if you want, you can fish off the dock or bring your own boat to the launch down the road. We are not fish people but that is an option. It was really nice to be able to do laundry without having to drag it to a laundromat. The kitchen had every amenity you could need. This place is a nice quiet rural getaway and the closest town and restaurants are about a 5-10 minute drive, or a 20 minute drive into Chrystal River. Our hosts were so sweet and thoughtful. ##### Doug T.
