Lovely getaway!
Had so much fun with family at this beautiful home! You truly cannot beat the location, the river is so peaceful and absolutely stunning! There were plenty of towels which was nice because so many rentals do not have those. My only issue was there was not salt, pepper or foil which I know something that is guaranteed but it is nice when it’s already there so you have what you need in the kitchen. With all that being said, I would definitely book again! The host was also so accommodating and very responsive which was very nice.

Best Rainbow River rental!
We were very pleased with all aspects of this rental. Host was pleasant and communicative, house was well maintained, updated, clean, well stocked, there was plenty of sleeping and bathing available for large parties, and the river location was superb! We will stay here every trip we take to the rainbow!

Weekend Getaway
We had a great weekend in Rainbow! The house is in a great location to everything and the privacy of the island was wonderful. All of our friends had a great time and we would come back. We paddled from the house to Swampy. All of the swimming supplies were a great plus (tubes, floats and paddle boards). Things we would note is that there is no longer a second fridge for large groups and you can no longer use the balcony on the second floor (seen in the marketing videos on Instagram). That was a major selling point for us so that was a bummer. The upstairs room had lots of cobwebs and could use a good clean. Our friends didn’t mind, but something to consider. The bathrooms that are en suite do have secondary access from hallways. There are two grills and pretty much any supply you’d need for cooking. We had a good time regardless!

Love staying here. It’s far enough up river where the water is still clear, but just off the main run so you don’t get all the tube traffic right in front of you. Room to park my 16’ skiff right in front.
