We had such an amazing time staying at this beautiful property. Rachel was so kind and accommodating when our travel plans changed. She made us feel welcome and was very responsive to our questions prior to check in and during our stay. This house is at a great part of the river where you can either launch a kayak to go upriver or just jump on a float and ride down to Swampy's. The home is very well taken care of and every detail was thought of. The kitchen has everything you need, there were thoughtful touches in every room, and the furnishings were very comfortable. We stay at multiple VRBOs every year and this is the best one yet! The backyard feels like you're at a resort; it was so peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be back.

We had an amazing stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The location was perfect for exploring Dunnellon and spending time at Rainbow River, while still being quiet and peaceful in the evenings.Traveling with our toddler can sometimes be challenging, but this place made it easy. We had plenty of space, slept great, and felt right at home. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire process seamless from check-in to check-out.We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient place to enjoy everything the Dunnellon area has to offer.

This property is beautiful! Right on the Rainbow River, so it provided endless entertainment for my kids. It has a nice fire pit and dock in the backyard, with beautiful landscape. The home itself is extremely clean. It’s well stocked with extra toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent etc. and even little snacks and treats. They included a s’more kit and that was a HIT with the kids. On top of a great location and nice home, the host was extremely kind and responsive. She helped with local recommendations. I also had a last minute medical emergency and we had to move our vacation date. She was MORE than understanding and worked with us, free of charge! We can’t wait to go back here !!! Great find !

I was initially nervous about reserving, the listing was brand new on VRBO and didn’t have any reviews when I first booked. I’m so glad we took the chance because the home exceeded our expectations!The house was clean, comfortable, and fully stocked. Rachel truly went above and beyond with all of the toiletries, kitchen essentials, and extra supplies already available. You can tell she put a lot of thought into making guests feel at home. We didn’t have any issues during our stay, but the few times we communicated with her, she was very responsive and helpful.The best part of this property is definitely the location with direct river access. We tubed directly from the house, which took us about 3 hours to drop off at Blue Run. The home also came equipped with several inflatables and kayaks. We absolutely loved our stay and would 100% come back again!
