What a blast we had staying here! The location was great and it was was walking, floating, or paddling distance to Swampy’s restaurant. The place was equipped with 4 kayaks, 2 stand up paddle boards, a canoe, and some floats. The backyard deck was the perfect quiet and relaxing hangout. The actual house was very spacious with plenty of room to spread out and not feel cramped. And as most of the other reviews stated, Dale was a great host! We will definitely be staying here again.

We had a magical weekend on the river. The house was clean, cozy, and well stocked and had everything we needed for biking and spending time on the water (three bikes, three kayaks, and two great paddle boards).

House was in a quiet neighborhood, Used the paddleboard and kayaks. How is a bit dated but comfortable. Kitchen supplies could have been better. Hand can opener did not work and a few more items for on top or to bake items in stove would be helpful. Grill worked fine. Dale came and introduced himself which was nice. Plenty of room for 6 adults

Property was better than described. Even more fun activities were available. Our host, Dale, was a great guy. Very friendly. He gave us a pontoon ride up the river so that we could float back on the provided tubes. The kayaking was very enjoyable. We saw a lot of birds an even a few alligators. We highly recommend this house.

Awesome Vacation
Me and my family had the best vacation, ever! We can’t wait to go back. Our host, Dale, was over-the-top awesome! He made our stay so welcoming and relaxing. His home was immaculate and had all the amenities you could possibly need. We had the use of 3 kayaks, tubes, noodles, gas grill, bicycles, pool table, board games, lots of TVs (we hardly used the TVs) cuz there was so much to do. He had everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and the bathrooms. Lots of towels and…you name it…he had it, you really just need to bring clothes and whatever food you like. We didn’t want to leave. We can’t wait to go back.

This house was awesome! Very clean, well equiped, roomy, comfy, cozy.
We put our kayaks in at the Rainbow River State Park and spent 5 hours paddling down to the dock at this house where we got out and grilled and enjoyed all the games and amenities here. Good restaurants close by. Will stay here again for sure!

Great getaway
We couldn’t have been happier or more well treated. Dale provided us with a beautiful home with a dock and kayaks. Stopped by to be sure we had everything we needed. Even came around and took all of us on a boatride up and down the river! Only there a few days but it felt like we rented from an old friend.

roomy
the house was very roomy. It was a family gather with my sibling's family and Mom. Everyone had room to spread out and not be on top of each others. Grandkids had fun on the dock and river. Kitchen was large and well stocked.

Rainy stay better than being at work
Our family of 5 adults, one college student and a two year old had a great three night stay during mostly stormy days. There was enough activities (pool table, books, tv, fishing poles) to entertain us and we got out in the river for two long kayak adventures between storms. It is a perfect property for mixed ages and convenient location for Rainbow River activities. This was our third time renting and we will be back!

This house was perfect for our family. The place was clean and had everything you needed and then some. The location is right in the middle of everything as far as stores ,adventures( Crystal River, State park, etc.) and fishing ( access to Rainbow and Withlacoochee RiverRiver). The dock was perfect for fishing ,place to dock our boat and to just relax. Having the kayaks, canoe and paddle board on site was a plus so we didn't have to transport our own. Property manager was great with communication. My family will definitely stay again if back in the area.

Thanksgiving week family trip
We stayed here for a week with 7 adults and a 2 yr old. Wonderful property. Very clean and Dale is a great host. Even brought us a folding table to use outside for a fish fry. Our 2 yr old love catching little fish from the dock and adults loved using the kayaks and paddle board. We also used the bikes to go to nearby park for nice ride. Loved it!

Rainbow River Magic
A wonderful location and host. Dale (host) was the most accommodating person we’ve ever rented from. We truly enjoyed the use of the kayaks and paddle board. The icing on the cake was when Dale took our family on a guided trip around the area on his pontoon boat. We will go back.

2 night get away
This property was perfect for a quick get away from Gainesville. We love the amenities , including well stocked personal items, Cards, books, inner tubes, and kayaks. We had a family of five adults and there was plenty room to spread out. We took turns with the kayaks and got on the beautiful river in spite of rain for most of our stay. We enjoyed the use of gas grill and the dock area too. Thank you for sharing your home with us - We will be back!

The real Florida
Best host ever! This house had everything we needed for a week long family vacation on the river. I recommend this house if you like to play on the river. The owner is super nice and easy going. The only thing I can mention is if you have chemical sensitivities there were many plug ins with aroma. The owner was fine with us unplugging them for our stay. Everything else was perfect! Top notch house and location.

The Perfect Relaxing Getaway
This immaculate home, in a beautiful and quiet setting, was the perfect choice for myself and my adult children. We had the relaxing break that we all needed! We biked, kayaked, paddleboarded and tubed the days away. The huge kitchen allowed us to all gather together and prepare our meals on-site- which was so helpful during the current restrictions. Dale, our host, went out of his way to provide everything we needed to have the vacation that we desired.

Beautiful home & setting
Second time staying here, and the owner keeps adding cool stuff like paddleboard and corn hole games. Brought our deck boat and enjoyed fishing off the dock too. There was a park a few miles down the road for the 4 yr old and plenty of room for family time. Barely turned on the TV!

Spacious and peaceful
We enjoyed our stay and there are several areas to gather (porch, sunroom, deck, living room, etc.). The kitchen could use more utensils but is spacious and well appointed. Most of the beds are very comfortable except the Murphy bed. The furnishings and master bathroom Are dated, but when going to a river house you are looking for quaint and not modern. We really enjoyed our stay and time on the river.

Enjoy our relaxing time on the river.
Nice neighborhood, nice property, a million miles from everyday stress.
