Pet friendly, use of kayaks bikes and canoe, great dock,screen room, fenced yard

Rivers Edge Retreat is a private oasis located on the Withlacoochie river in citrus county florida. Great location to enjoy all the nature coast has to offer. Short distance to Ocala, Inverness, Homosassa Springs, Crystal River, and Dunnellon. Come and experience swimming with the manatees, tubing down the Rainbow River, scalloping in Homosassa and Crystal River, fishing on the withlacoochie and lake rousa., biking hiking, kayaking on the rivers, horseback riding, and Golfing. So much to do or just do nothing at all but enjoy and relax. My home offers you the perfect place to enjoy the privacy, sitting on the dock or in the screen room enjoying all of nature. You can bring your own boat and tie up to the dock or enjoy the use of two single kayaks one double kayak paddle boat or canoe available for free. I also provide two adult bikes and two childrens bikes for your enjoyment. At night you can sit around the fire pit and listen to nature sing. Grill your catch of the day on the provided gas grill and eat on the deck under the stars. The backyard is completely fenced and has two beautiful old oaks with huge staghorn ferns offering you plenty of shade. If you want some family fun try your skill at corn hole. There are many bird feeders so you can enjoy watching many varieties of birds as they come and go. If you choose to take day trips we are located close to Orlando with all of it's attractions and Tampa which is home to Bush Gardens. If you love to eat out our area offers some of the finest seafood in Florida. We have numerous festivals throughout the year celebrating our pioneer and Indian history and seafood festivals allowing you to taste all the local foods. I love this area of Florida for it's beauty and laid back lifestyle. So come and enjoy, relax, unwind, in what Florida once looked like.

Great getaway on the river.
Great place to stay during a pandemic. We went canoeing and then relaxed around the fire pit every evening. Enjoyed an afternoon visit with friends who live in the area and sat outside on the deck that overlooks the river.

Anniversary Advneture #11!
It was one of our best vacations! We wanted to be as close as nature as possible, and we got it! We loved the house and everything it offered! We had so much fun, we will definitely do it again!! We went Kayaking, took a boat tour, and saw a few manatees! We also did the boat tour at Silver Springs State Park! And off course swing at the spring!

River Retreat
We had a wonderful stay @ this "River Retreat"! Weather was a little chilly but we managed to keep ourselves occupied for the week. Hiking & Biking on the local trails was convenient and enjoyable. On our last day it finally warmed up enough to use the provided Kayaks.

Great place to enjoy the rivers
We like this house very much. It is comfortable, well decorated & well maintained. This was our second stay. It is in a quiet neighborhood close to Dunellon & the parks. We especially love that the house includes the use of kayaks and canoes. We love to be able to get on the water everyday.

Silent Sport Paradise
We love to kayak, bike, fish and hike so this was the perfect place for us. Kayak the beautiful Withlacoochee from your backyard, take the dog over to Johnson’s Pond for a nice walk, hit the Withlacoochee State Trail for awesome biking, wet a line from your dock, or just chill in the private and peaceful backyard. We will definitely be back soon.

Enjoyed The Rivers Edge Retreat
The Rivers Edge Retreat was spacious, clean, private, and only 10 minutes to downtown Dunnellon. Kitchen was well equipped. Donna responded quickly to any questions we had. We enjoyed the backyard, being near the river and watching the wildlife! We really liked the easy access to nearby activities. Would like to rent again in the future.

Comfortable home
We enjoyed the home and our pets did, as well. Open, roomy for the 2 of us. Bed comfortable, kitchen fairly well set up. We needed both heat and air in the 3 weeks we were there and all worked well. Due to the cool weather, we weren’t able to take advantage of the kayaks and bikes but all were available as advertised.

Beautiful and Serene River Retreat
This is the second time we have enjoyed this property. We get away for a little change of scenery and quiet retreat. The screen room on the river is the best part. Our puppies love to play in the safe fenced yard. The house is very comfortable and well appointed. The owner, Donna, is extremely good at communicating with us throughout our stay if there are any questions. We will probably be back there sometime in the future and look forward to our stay.

Rainbow River Stay
I booked this home for my Bestie's 40th birthday. We wanted a place that had bikes and kayaks and also close enough to Rainbow River so we could enjoy the tubing. It did not disappoint!! We used every inch of this property and it was exactly what was listed in the description. One day we even headed to Crystal River and swam with the manatees. It was a 30 minute drive and worth it. Our favorite place to eat was Swampy's on the river, about a 12min drive. We would definitely book the home again.
