About this house rental

Beautiful secluded setting on the Rainbow River. Includes guest house with bed and bathroom. Recently renovated with new kitchen and bath, and an adjacent guest house with its own recently renovated bathroom. And a loft with two twin beds for the kids. Wraparound deck, two docks, and 150 feet of waterfront. The main dock is shaded all summer with gently wide stairs to the swim area. The second dock is set up for you to bring your own boat and tie up to the cleats there. Paddle boards, float tubes, and kayaks to enjoy the crystal clear river. There's even a crystal clear spring (now dubbed Otter Spring) 25 yards from the main dock. Especially wide part of the river creates a more relaxing setting, with daily visits by the local otters. Riverside fire pit is the perfect set up for cool evenings. Add the proximity to places like the World Equestrian Center (WEC), Crystal River, Homossassa, and the Withlacoochee River, University of Florida, mountain and paved biking trails. This can be both a relaxing place to stay and the center for many activities.

Our stay at this beautiful house on Rainbow River was fantastic! The house was immaculate and the host, Reese, was friendly, communicative and very helpful, if we needed anything. We were impressed with the fact that there was everything one needed in the kitchen - from kitchen supplies and utensils to even spices, oils and coffee! The beds were comfortable, too! Most importantly, we loved the great view of the river from the living room and wonderful dock, where we spent most of our time either enjoying nature as we sat with our coffee, or swam, or kayaked. The dock also made it quite easy to step right down into the river for a swim, take off with kayaks or paddle boards - all of which were provided. We absolutely loved every minute of our stay there, and definitely plan to come back!

Amazing property for 4-6 people. The backyard and deck over the river was perfect and well shaded. Lots of great river toys like tubes, SUP boards and canoes to choose from. Great spot on the river close to many great spots. The house and guest home were very clean and well appointed. Everything from the A/C, grill, TVs and kitchen equipment were in great shape. If you want a fun and relaxing atmosphere, this place is the best! We will certainly visit again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and cannot recommend this property highly enough!From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The property was quiet, peaceful, and the perfect place to relax and unwind. One of the things we appreciated most was how dog-friendly it was. Reese, he was an exceptional host. He was responsive, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience throughout our stay.We spent every day out on the water paddleboarding, which was one of the highlights of our trip. The location made it easy to enjoy the outdoors, and we loved coming back each evening to such a clean and comfortable place.If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with a fantastic host, beautiful surroundings, and a property that truly feels like a home away from home, this is it. We would absolutely stay here again!

A Waterfront Paradise on the Rainbow River**Rating: 5/5 Stars**This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful property on the Rainbow River. If you are looking for a perfect riverside getaway, this is it.### The Main House & ViewThe house is incredibly well-equipped and comfortable. The main house features a very comfortable king-size bed, but the real highlight is the bedroom layout. With floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water and double doors leading out to a screened-in back porch, the views are simply wonderful.### Unbeatable River AccessThe deck design is awesome. It starts right at the front door and leads you all the way to the water's edge—you can walk from the house straight to the river without ever stepping off the deck. There are even built-in steps leading directly into the water, making it effortless to get in and out for a swim. We spent our mornings and late afternoons on the deck watching the abundant wildlife; seeing the otters play was a true highlight of the trip.### The Guest HouseIn addition to the main house, there is a guest house located just outside. It is also very well-appointed with another big bed, a nice full bathroom, and a kitchenette that has everything you need (minus a stove). It provided great extra space and privacy.### Amenities & HospitalityThe host is very friendly and went above and beyond by providing plenty of kayaks and paddleboards at no extra cost. Having those available made exploring the river so easy
