We had 8 people ages 3 to 70. Something for everyone. Pool table, foosball , swimming pool, fishing, kiack, etc. Beds were very comfortable. Everything you may need is provided except food of course. Host Heather and Jerry were very gracious and easy to get a hold of. We will be returning.

Visited the historic downtown and shops. Informative Singing River Cruise was wonderful. Played multiple games of billiards and board games. Restaurants were very good as well! Would recommend.

The home is perfect for that family who wants to boat, fish, grill, swim, play pool & foosball, play board games or just relax & watch the river. There wasn't a boring or unenjoyable moment. We rented a pontoon for the day that is literally 10 min away fron the house.
The house was spotless & had everything we needed during our stay.
This home is very easy to get to & close to anything you may need during your stay.
Of the many homes we've rented over the last few years, this is one of our favorites.

We love this awesome river property. We have had our family reunion celebration on Memorial Weekend here for the last three years! Everyone can't wait for next year. Heather, we thank you both for being such great hosts.
Thanks Melody 🇺🇲😊

We had a lovely time staying on the river. The house was large, and we had ample room to have fun and relax. The kids loved the pool table and had a blast fishing. We visited KP hole for kayaking and enjoyed a relaxing day on the Rainbow River.

Beautiful river house, stunning views. We enjoyed the canoes in the river, the fire pit and all of the wildlife, perfect getaway for relaxing. The house was extremely comfortable and had all the necessities. Great communication with Ms. Robinson. We will definitely be back.

This property is perfect for 10 people.Lots of nice seating inside and out. Pool table, kayaks, canoes, bikes. And any kitchen appliance you could think of. Big pots and pans to cook for a large family. We loved the view and the deck. Pool was a little chilly!lol, we enjoyed our weekend with our kids and their significant others and my parents. Property was nicely furnished, we enjoyed a fire every night and we visited a fall festival, the rainbow river spring, Swampy's and the Blue Gator. The only downfall this town doesn't have a sports bar with the NFL ticket that we could find.

The house was great! We all enjoyed the view and set up! Heather was a friendly host, tried getting us in a little before check in as we arrived early but we took the time to visit Dunnellon and the Blue Gator! Great spot! We look forward to returning!

We highly recommend this house and would stay here again if we are in the area. It is in a quiet neighborhood on the river. It was enjoyable to sit outside and take in the view of the river and the boats. The home owners were quick responders when we had questions and provided different items to help get us started to enjoy our stay. The house is very spacious and our family really enjoyed playing pool. The kitchen is fully stocked with all necessary items to cook meals each day. We rented a pontoon boat and easily tied up to the dock when we weren’t using it. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Robinson house!

We had a great time at this property! I would definitely rent it again. The owner had all the kitchen supplies you could need even a crock pot! Very clean when we arrived and check in was easy. Great communication from the owner as well. We had a ball playing pool on your night that was very rainy. We enjoyed the kayaks and the fishing and it was very close to rainbow springs for tubing.

This is our 3rd time here and first since the renovation. Very well done and absolutely we will be back for a 4th trip. Love all the upgrades, kayaks and so much to do.

We wanted a place to escape the everyday noise of the city (Jacksonville) and relax…and this was the PERFECT spot for doing just that! Love the location, love the house, LOVE the view!! Heather was awesome, and easy to communicate with. We had no issues during our visit. Everything is exactly as it was presented. If you’re staying here, I’d definitely recommend taking a kayak out for a spin on the river…and being on the back patio at sunset. It gets so quiet at night! There’s no traffic noise, no ambulances/police sirens, no helicopters/planes….just crickets, bullfrogs, and the occasional splash of a fish jumping out of the water. Didn’t stay long enough to get into any fishing, but you can see all kinds of fish swimming by at any point in the day. This place is a little piece of Floridian paradise, and we will definitely be back!

Amazing getaway!!!
We were looking for a house that would entertain a vast age range of people (10-67)..... This house did not disappoint!!! The fishing was great, kayaking was easy, boat ramp was close and easy to launch at. We could ride the river on the boats all the way up to kp hole in rainbow springs. Then the pool was great for the older people who didn't want to be as adventurous with a beautiful view of the river. House was amazing with plenty of sleeping arrangements. Highly recommended!!!!

Memorial Day Vacation
The property is ideal for vacation even with the quirkiness of add on bedroom. Our problem was we had to wash the sheets before we could sleep because of all of the dog hair that was in the bed and on the sheets in bedroom by pool. Couldn't unpack bathroom supplies had to keep on the counter because the drawers were dirty with hair etc. Open candy m&m's and dog hair in drawers in room by the pool. We cleaned the 2nd bathroom because the urine smell was so bad. Toilets had poop splashes still in the toilets from the last tenant that wasn't cleaned. Pool area had green mold on all the enclosed screens and black mold on concrete around pool..but the pool was clean. We paid for a cleaning fee with property rental and I'm sure prior tentant did too!
Great location and property but needs a new cleaning service!!

Birthday Vacation
Great set up for a family/friends not as private if you are going with separate couples. The house is located on the river with a phenomenal view. Perfect for a celebration birthday party especially for young adults/teenagers. Can't wait to see the updates next year that Heather and Jerry are planning on doing.

Very fun and quite place to hangout on the river
Location of the house worked out great to fish and boat. The pool table was a lot of fun as well

Right on the river
Our family of 6 decided to stay in Dunnellon because it was about half way from a dive center (where our older kids were finishing their scuba certification) and Crystal River (for a manatee excursion). It's an older house with a very quirky layout (as described) in a rural area but it is RIGHT on the river, which is stunningly gorgeous. The pool isn't heated so it was too cold for us to use in February, but we did borrow the kayaks and take them out on the water - we saw all kinds of water birds, turtles, and even small alligators. The house is spacious, the kitchen is very well-stocked, and there was plenty of toilet paper, coffee filters, and other things that you never remember to pack. Don't miss Rainbow Springs park nearby and be sure to check out the Blue Gator restaurant around the corner. Thanks all!

Unbelievable views!
I literally opened the front door and said "you aren't going to believe this view!" Openness of great room, patio area and lawns were perfect for our family visit our daughter working in Ocala. Home is a bit tired but as described and clean with comfy beds. Hosted a dinner for 10 one night and kitchen and space were perfection!

Great River Access
This is a great place to take your boat and explore the river. It is very spacious and set up for outdoor entertainment. We had a party of 9 adults and had plenty of room. We took our boat and cruised to Blue Gator for dinner one night. We also cooked out on the patio and enjoyed a fire.
