All the kids bunked in the room below (plenty of beds!) and the adults stayed upstairs. There is tons to do! The kayaks were much nicer than expected (the river is peaceful and pretty in that area), fishing, hot tub, TONS of games in the house for adults and kids, plenty of yard to play in, grill, fire pit….the ONLY thing is could say that is SLIGHTLY negative is the remote situation… seems like a lot were lost or missing, so maybe bring a Roku from home if an occasional tv break is helpful during your trip. That is such a small thing and not really needed during a vacation anyway. We LOVED everything about this house and will definitely be back! Thanks for hosting us and helping us make amazing memories! ##### Ariel G. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rashel W. May 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Getaway One thing I have to say about this house is that you’ll never get bored. Whether you’re inside or outside. The house was loaded with games, bikes, kayaks, tubes, and even kitchen utensils for any kind of cooking and baking. We fell in love with the backyard. You sit in the hot tub and you feel like you’re one with nature. You have the squirrels by the river putting on a show every day, fighting over seeds and nuts haha. ##### Rashel W. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vickie M. Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best VRBO EVER The host has EVERYTHING you need, kayaks, tubes, suntan lotion, FLIP FLOPS, fire pit, hot tub, to projection screen to VINYL RECORDS, foosball table, chess set as well as casserole dishes and iron skillet, mixed etc. We could not have asked for more, there was something for everyone, as well as just drop the kayaks in the water and paddle out to the restaurant to eat and then play around in the water. We will definitely be coming back, it was the most relaxing weekend. The back yard was so peaceful and it really soothes the soul. The baby alligator and squirrels in the trees were a joy to watch. The home was exactly as it says, the beds are comfortable and it really felt like home. I loved the extra touches and the soft sound of the coocoo clock was just charming . Very unique stay you don’t find everyday. Very clean and well taken care of and close to everything you need, Publix was a mile and a half away, as well as KP Hole was close to go tubing as well or hiking at the state park. ##### Vickie M.

Dec 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nature-lovers' retreat with thoughtful extras We spent Thanksgiving at this lovely house with our four adult children. The sunroom was our favorite spot, with a whole wall of large windows offering serene views of the beautifully landscaped yard, bordered by a branch of the Withlacoochee River. Other than the house next door, which was empty during our stay, the property is wonderfully secluded, facing the river and the back side of a wooded island, making it peaceful and private. From the yard, we occasionally heard boats on the main river channel but couldn’t see them. Lots of nature: hawks, crows, squirrels, and even a small alligator and a turtle sunning themselves on the opposite bank. The outdoor furniture with cushions, firepit, and hot tub added to the relaxation. The kitchen was a standout, with a cut-out above the sink overlooking the sunroom, so that even when cooking you get beautiful outdoor views. It’s one of the most well-stocked rentals we’ve ever stayed in, with every kitchen tool you could need and plenty of thoughtful extras. We highly recommend Rainbow River Canoe and Kayak, just five minutes away, for a 4–6 hour kayaking adventure where they shuttle you upstream on the Rainbow or Withlacoochee River. Seeing otters on the Rainbow and alligators on the Withlacoochee was a highlight! Publix is conveniently close, just 10 minutes away. The host was extremely responsive and proved that she truly cares about her guests when she moved heaven and earth to help us with an urgent need during our stay. ##### Diana S.

From the get go she was super communicative and full of helpful local suggestions for our family trip (3 families with multiple kids). The room set-up was perfect for us and the home was so charming It was a beautiful location on the river and we loved using the kayaks/canoe, jacuzzi, snorkel gear for nearby springs, etc. Highly recommend! ##### Suzanne B.

It’s all set up with everything you need. Just get groceries and you don’t have to leave. The river is so fun to explore and looks and sounds so peaceful at sunrise. The house is beautiful and fully stocked! I will absolutely be renting this property again. 10 out of 10! ##### Molly H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cole S.
