About this house rental
Come relax in Florida's Nature Coast in this eclectic, spacious riverside home. Take in the breathtaking view while lounging in the sunroom, hammock, or upstairs deck. Explore the wild beauty of the Withlacoochee River downstream from the Rainbow River and launch one of our kayaks or the canoe right from the backyard.
The space
After a great day on the river making memories gather around the fireplace and enjoy one of the many games or puzzles or have a foosball match. Cast a line and catch a large mouth bass, catfish, gar, or brim right off our peninsula with fishing poles provided. Challenge your friends and family to a game of bocce ball or corn hole. Cook a delicious home cooked meal in the well equipped kitchen or grill out on the high tech Cuisineart gas/pellet grill. Soak in the relaxing hot tub or roast marshmallows around the firepit. Pop a bowl of popcorn and enjoy your favorite movies or shows off Hulu Plus, ESPN, Disney and Netflix on the huge projector screen.

Additional rules
KEEP OUR RIVERS CLEAN!
There are steep fines if you enter Rainbow River with anything disposable, including wrappers! Please use the Tupperware and reusable water bottles and bags provided.
Do not leave trash, cigarette butts or have balloons outside.
WE ARE ON WELL and SEPTIC
The water is safe and delicious from the faucet. We just had a brand new Hydrogen Clean Water system installed. The faucet water is delicious, so fill up reusable water bottles and hit the river!
DO NOT flush anything down the toilets except toilet paper!
DO NOT SWIM OR FLOAT in the Withlacoochee River! BEWARE OF ALLIGATORS! You can kayak 25 minutes to Chaplin A Dinkins Park where Rainbow River meets Withlacoochee and you can swim there and of course the head spring!
Launch the Kayaks at the end of my peninsula, wipe down and place back on kayak racks when finished.
The Guest Shed is the portion to the back and the key is hanging on the hook by the front door. There are bags of pellets for the grill and an extra propane tank. You may use all items in the Guest Shed but please return items to their designated area, check off the check list hanging and report any broken, empty or missing items so I can replace them for the next guests.
Please respect our property and DO NOT take cover off or tamper with my pontoon boat. Also, DO NOT tamper with locked closets. And please DO NOT risk injury or property damage by climbing stairs onto the Florida room roof! I plan on having a contractor build an observation and sunbathing deck with railings in the future, and hope you will return to enjoy it!
TRASH DAY is very early morning FRIDAYS.
Citrus County unfortunately does not pick up recycling. But there is a recycling center 8 1/2 miles north on U.S. 41

We loved our time at Megan’s home. 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!

This place is a mini sanctuary that is close to so much! 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!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
Our stay at the Chalet exceeded all our expectations. We were a group of 6 adults (2 couples and a mother-daughter pair), and the house ended up being a perfect fit for us. It was incredibly well-appointed and well-stocked with everything we could think of and could have needed. The host, Megan, was extremely kind and responsive, and we felt sure if anything were to come up, she would take care of it.We used the provided kayaks and related gear, and the plenty of towels that were provided, for our almost daily kayaking excursions. When we did spend time at the house, the sun room was everyone's favorite, where we spent a lot of time taking in the view and nature that surrounded us. And when we had meals at the house, the kitchen was spacious enough for 3-4 of us to prep without getting in each other's way, and the dining table was a very comfortable 6-top.There were so many amenities provided that we weren't able to use all of them during our 4-night stay. And by the end, everyone was already wondering when we can plan another return visit.Highly recommended!

The house was so clean and had so many amenities. From towels to coffee to kayaks we had everything we needed. It’s located 8 minutes from the springs and only a few minuets away from restaurants and grocery stores. There was plenty of rooms with comfy beds. The projector screen was great for a little movie night. The host was communicative and very nice. This is the place to stay!
