About this house rental

(SECOND BEDROOM IS A LOFT AND IT'S NOT PRIVATE)
River Run Retreat on the Weeki Wachee River provides a once in a lifetime opportunity for those who want a unique getaway. Here you will find the perfect place to relax, see manatees, fish, swim, kayak, and visit awesome local spots including Weeki Wachee Springs State Park with a live mermaid show!
You will find our house has a rustic feel with a modern touch. There is plenty of space with compact bedding, a fully equipped kitchen, cable TV, Wi-Fi, a balcony and a deck. Being located directly on the river allows you the leisure to just hang out with friends and family or provides direct access to the river.
We love manatees. We love mermaids. We love nature. So of course, once we found this haven, we fell in love and just had to create a retreat to share with you and your loved ones. Please take care of her and enjoy these precious moments of downtime. Although we have cable and Wi-Fi, we recommend you take this time to unplug and reconnect with one another and Mother Nature.
We promise to strive to make this the most special place and getaway for you. If there is anything we can do to enhance your stay, please let us know.
Sitting on the Weeki Wachee River, River Run Retreat is perfectly located at the half way point of this 5 mile natural waterway beginning at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park and ending at Rogers Park.
Relax on the deck watching the wide variety of fish, manatees and kayakers year-round. If you’re feeling adventurous, our dock provides easy access into the 72-degree water. Life jackets, kayaks and snorkel gear are provided. Be safe, the swift 3 mile/hour current can be challenging!
Thank you for considering our special hideaway. We and our sirens hope to see you again and again.

Great getaway, right on the river! We paddled, fished, swam and saw plenty of manatee. Amazing deck to sit and have cocktails on. Great people watching, as you see all kinds of watercraft, passing by.

My daughter had stayed with some friends at this place and was so very impressed by it that she convinced m husband and I to do a mini family vacation the the River Run Retreat. The Weeki Wachee River is so very relaxing for swimming and kayaking - and the River Run Retreat makes it so very easy- it has all the comforts we needed! Super clean also- We LOVED it and plan to do this again next year!

We loved our stay! It was so nice having access to the river & kayaks anytime we wanted. All we had to do was walk out our back porch! We saw plenty of manatees, fish, deer, & turkeys! We will definitely be back to the area & as long as there is availability we will be staying here again & again! It’s just a 5 minute drive to The entrance of Weeki Wachee park. Our host was always responsive & even dropped off a pack n play for us.

Amazing location on the magical pristine waters of the Weeki Wachee River. Snorkeled with manatees, paddled with otters, and swam with the mullet. Florida at its best!

We had a wonderful time at River Run using the Kayaks and Paddle Board and jumping in the springs. We were traveling with family and children (4yrs and 18 months old), the bunk beds and big kitchen were perfect for our group. I recommend bringing a baby gate for their stairs if you have little ones. The beds were comfy and water pressure was great. It was easy to find and had ample parking.

Amazing home! Perfect location on crystal blue water. Loved the walks up the river, then float down. Sleeping arrangements were close quarters - so make sure you’re all very comfortable together, a group of family or close friends is perfect! Really awesome house - had everything we needed, including kayaks and paddle boards!

Luckily we have been able to stay at multiple places on the main weeki wachee river. This house by far has the best location. It offer good river access behind the house shallow wading water and a lovely dock. The house is clean and well appointed. You will not regret booking this house for your WW vacation.

We have stayed at RRR in the past under previous owner. We love the improvements made since our last stay: easier access to kayaks and walkway from driveway, grill location and cover, reclining couch, washer and dryer, and deck chairs. We will definitely be back!
