Wonderful home!
It was the perfect location, close to all the downtown antique and thrift stores and close to the river. It has an awesome backyard where you can grill and use the firepit. 10/10!

The home was perfect for our girl's weekend, there were 5 of us, there was plenty of room for us. Home is in walking distance to antique and thrift stores. We went tubing and kayaking, which is a short drive from the house!!! We all left feeling relaxed!

LOVED IT!
We had a great 3 night stay. Precious house with lots of room and wonderful bedding. Even had a fire pit which we used 1 night. We walked a block or less to a local restaurant, no complaints at all. Nice area.

Beautiful home in a beautiful town
My guy and I only stayed a weekend for a much-needed retreat, and this property did not disappoint. It's an old home, well kept and updated, to make it the most comfortable getaway we could've asked for. The property owner was communicative and helpful, and the home was stocked with anything we could've needed. Very happy and would love to come back!

Family vacation to watch the Holiday Horse show at WEC and ride bikes.
We loved the location and proximity to shops, restaurants, the World Equestrian Center, and bike trails. Wish we were able to stay longer and walk around all the shops. The house is great and had been mostly updated but it does needs is more places to hang things. I would suggest bringing over the door hangers with you.

Cute and Cozy
We loved the space! It has a charming cottage-like exterior with a very spacious, cool, clean and comfortable interior. The location was super convenient right in the historic district of downtown Dunnellon. We were delighted to find an Artisan's Market just steps away on Saturday morning and enjoyed strolling the neighborhood after dinner. Thank you!
