Great place on the river!
Such a nice place to stay! Very clean and comfortable beds too! We enjoyed sitting on the dock, going for a run, and Capt Rick’s eco tour, Osprey Charters. Seeing Manatees at Crystal Springs was lots fun and not too far away. Thanks for a great stay!

Great property and location
Off the beaten path in old Florida (Yankeetown). Easily sleeps six. Tie your boat up at the dock on the river with access to the Gulf just minutes by boat.

Perfect Stay in Yankeetown
This property is perfect for a quiet Florida getaway. We kayaked up and down the river, walked to the local restaurant which was quite good, and it's an easy drive to Homosassa and Crystal River. The house itself is gorgeous and beds are super comfortable. Kitchen was way better than equiped most other rentals. Would love to stay again in the future. Thanks so much!

Serene get-away!
We wanted a peaceful serene setting, and this spacious house seemed just right for us. We enjoyed the surrounding nature, the peaceful river, and big oak trees with Spanish moss. No traffic. Very clean. The host was responsive and took care of needs. We would recommend this house to anyone who wants a serene get-away.

A beautiful waterfront home on the pristine Withlacoochee River. Gas,ice,and restaurant nearby. 😁
This 3 bedroom 2 and a half bath home is perfect for 6 adults. The Black Water Restaurant,and the Yankeetown Marina for gas and ice are a few docks down. A beautiful 45 minute ride down the Withlacoochee River left at the gulf to the scalloping grounds. The owner and the Marina owner are super friendly and helpful.We will be back. 😁💖

Cute house
We enjoyed our stay at the house. It was very clean and spacious and had everything we needed. There were plenty of kitchen items to make food. It is very nicely decorated. It has a lovely back yard and deck. Our favorite activity was kayaking to the Three Sisters Springs and swimming with lots of manatees. Observing these gentle giants was a great treat.

Girls Get a-way
The home was very clean inside. Out side could use some TLC. (spider / spider webs) Thee only thing I was disappointed about, when I asked if their was a BBQ grill and was told yes, I wish it had been cleaned so that we could have used it. So we had to resort to something else then BBQ grilling. Other then those things everything was very nice.
