Great location! Wonderful info and communication!
My daughter and I stayed for a week, along with 2 other mother/daughter pairs for a "spring" break getaway. Dunnellon is a great little town, convenient to several springs for day trips/activities. We all loved the private dock and access to the water!

Big Group Vacation
We had a wonderful stay here and what continues to be true is that the view makes up for anything that the property might not have. Would recommend if planning any family trips or getaways to the river, nothing beats waking up and getting on a kayak to go down the river.

A little slice of Heaven
This property was a dream. Cozy, clean and comfortable. It had everything you needed for a river getaway. The home is situated in a way that provided plenty of privacy, while being minutes from various amenities. We celebrated a friend's birthday and eveyone who came continues to rave about the experience!

Relaxing
Enjoy being out on the covered deck during rainstorms. The property landscaping gave privacy and allowed our group to relax alone or with others as desired. No need to turn on the television as just looking out the windows or sitting on the decks provided live entertainment with the wildlife all around. Easy walking distance to a great donut shop and the historic downtown. Don Peppe was one of the best Mexican Restaurants any of us have ever eaten at just 5 minutes from the house. The Singing River Tour was worth it. Great local guys with in depth knowledge of the area.

Awesome River Vacation
We loved this house. Absolutely amazing! We spent 3 days enjoying Rainbow Springs River right out back every day. All the beds were very comfortable. The house had all the kitchen utensils and cook where you will need. The views were awesome. Very quiet area. Owner is awesome to talk to answered all our questions and gave us all kinds of tips. It was a well deserved couple of days of pure relaxation and fun! We are already booking again next May. The Kovacs Family

Great Week on Rainbow River
We spent the week swimming at the dock, kayaking around the Rainbow River in the provided kayaks and canoes (4 single kayaks, 2 double kayaks, and 1 canoe), and exploring both the Rainbow River and the nearby Crystal River. The house came with everything needed to have a good time on the river. The host called the night of check in just to make sure everything was OK and to give tips on the area and how to have a good time while there. I would definitely choose this place again.

Loved it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the Rainbow River. From the porch and kayaks we saw sandhill crane adults and babies, river otters, osprey, fish, turtles, other cranes, even a small alligator! We loved jumping off the dock and then relaxing on it just watching the wildlife. Manatees were only 23 minutes away on the Crystal River and amazing. The river boat tour was also a hit. My adult sons canoed up the river a bit and then snorkeled back to the house!

Beautiful river
We rented this home to be able to visit with family in the area and hang out on rainbow river. We rarely stayed at the house except to sleep. The house is an older house but suited our purpose since we were on the river all day. House needs updating and ants were a problem which they must be aware of since there was any spray available. For the price and for our needs, we were satisfied with our stay.

Short family getway
For the price very reasonable, house & property is tired. There were two 4-6 foot alligators in the water by the house which was a concern for our 5 year old. Would not stay more than 3 days. It worked for our large group. Bring toilet paper, garbage bags and wood if you want fire.

Such a delight
I stayed here with friends for my 42nd birthday and it was the perfect choice. The house is lovely but my favorite was sitting on the dock and kayaking around. I love that the house is tucked away from all the river traffic and just a bit past the main pull off area, so it made it quite serene. We fed the fish from the dock. I kayaked a couple times around the bend to where the Rainbow and Chatahoochee rivers converge, which is so cool to see how is goes from clear to not at all. As a group we kayaked up the river a good bit and then back to the house. We saw soooo many turtles and small, very chill gators. And I watched an otter hunting for breakfast and then dinner quite close to the house which made me so happy.

An incredible getaway
I had the best time staying at this beautiful property for my 30th birthday with my closest friends. There's so much to say about this home, but I'll just go over my favorites. The location is just perfect, private but not in the middle of nowhere. There was plenty of parking to accommodate everyone. The house itself is spacious with plenty of speaking and plenty of bathrooms. The living room and kitchen are very open so we could still enjoy taking part in games even when we cooked. The backyard is just everything and more. The upper and lower decks are perfect for all kinds of weather. We spent almost all our time outside, we were jumping off the top deck into the gorgeous crystal clear water, enjoying all the seating at the bonfire, and lounging on the top deck just enjoying the view and beautiful weather. Breakfast & coffee on the top deck was probably my favorite part of this whole trip. Finally, they provide lots of kayaks and canoes and it is incredibly easy to get them in and out of the water. They also had floats and a grill that we enjoyed. I can't say enough about this home. It was exactly the relaxing weekend my friends and I hoped we hoped for and more.

Terrible experience AFTER checkout
We had a nice time at the cabin. It wasn't as well equipped as we expected or as advertised, however it was fine for a weekend on the river. However....BED BUGS! It happens and it isn't the end of the world, but after 4 emails to the Property Manager and 2 chats with VRBO online support I still have had not a single response from the Manager regarding this. I have held off on writing a review since I don't like to post negative things online, however due to the lack of response I feel that I need to make others aware of a potential issue. I was not expecting a refund, I merely asked for confirmation that the property would be treated immediately for bed bugs to prevent others from having the miserable experience I did in the week following our stay. If you are planning on booking this place I would ask for written confirmation that the property has been treated and bed bugs are no longer an issue.

Love Love Love this Home!!!
We are 2nd time returning guests at this property and definitely won’t be the last, already making plans for 3rd time to make more memories at this home. First, the home is equipped with EVERYTHING you need for you and your family, its a home away from home; kitchen is equipped with all the tools needed and thensome, the bathrooms, the bedrooms, family room, simply comfortable and well kept. The homeowner recently made a few upgrades, which was nice and noticeable. The firepit is well kept and both the bottom and top outdoor decks are amazing. Which happens to be our favorite part of visiting Rainbow Springs/Dunnellon. We have 3 boys and stayed with 2 additional families with kids/teens as well and the jumping off the deck into the beautiful and fresh river is absolutely an experience like no other, we look forward to it every year. Secondly and just as important is the homeowner - Gilbert. He is very responsive, kind and seems to care very much about this property and it shows. Thank you Gilbert!!! Expect us in 2024 again!! No other property comes close to this one; its location on the river, the homes accommodations, cleanliness, comfort, neighborhood, the available kayaks and canoes at the home and they are very well maintained, the decks and all that jumping off of them into the river and enjoying the early morning rise and the sundown, and of course - Gilbert (the owner). Don’t take my word for it, experience it for yourself, you won’t regret it!

Family Fun
We wanted a place to gather as a family and enjoy time. We got that in Aces! Some family came and went, some stayed. We All enjoyed our time. There were games and puzzles provided for night time entertainment (tournaments, we’re competitive in a good way), a fire pit for s’mores and hotdogs and such. Days were filled with fishing, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding (equipment provided). Of course, the platform from the top deck was in constant use.The wildlife was excellent! Lots of different birds, fish, gators and the otter that fished the lagoon as we watched was really cool. We’re Floridians and outdoor enthusiasts, so we know to be respectful of our environment as well as aware of surroundings. The experience was everything we wanted. You will find the home comfortable and well equipped. If you are looking for fancy, this ain’t it, but it IS exactly what casual river life feels like.

Perfect and relaxing River getaway
The pictures reflect the property perfectly. The dock and water is where we spent the majority of our time. The double deck created amazing views and the perfect jumping platform, while the lower deck stayed cool and in the shade. It was so relaxing and AMAZING! The only cleanliness issue was the master shower curtain which was really moldy. It is Florida so mold is to be expected. It is probably time to replace that one though.
