Downstairs is a bedroom with both a queen and a single bed, large screened patio, outdoor shower, second full sized refrigerator and a laundry room with full-sized washer/dryer.
Home sleeps 5 comfortably.
Two single kayaks and one canoe are available at $75 each per stay with a $250 damage deposit.
There is also a volleyball/badminton net in the spacious yard plus an outdoor fire pit and a propane gas grill (propane not included due to liability).
What to do?
Our main attraction is the 6 mile long spring fed water wonder, The Rainbow River....in the front yard: enjoy nature, i.e. otters, a plethora of birds, turtles, vast array of fish, kayak, canoe, tube, snorkel, fish, swim.....72 degrees year round.
--Blue Run Park, popular biking/hiking/walking trail nearby (5 minutes) with a newly constructed bridge over the Withlacoochee River (Bass Capital of the World)

We loved spending time at this beautiful river house. we are Native Floridians and loved enjoying true Florida. We went to the grocery store, and never left the property. We enjoyed the springs, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and fishing. Every morning we sat on the dock enjoying the sounds of wild Florida. A true opportunity to refresh. It felt as though we were staying at our extended family home. Thanks, we shall return.

We loved having coffee on the screened porch and watching the wildlife. Great location. Will be back again one day.

Beautiful location! Tubing from the house was a perfect activity and just what we needed! We hope to book again!

Perfect location and the property owner genuinely wants you to have a great time. I take my family to Rainbow River every year in the summer to relax and swim in the cool, clear waters. This year we had a great time and enjoyed every aspect of this property. Hope to return here next year. Thank you Mary Ann for being so hospitable!

Awesome week! Awesome stay! Truly the best location on rainbow river! We used our SUP boards and a kayak every day. But even just sitting on the dock with the breeze blowing was so enjoyable! It rained one day and we sat and watched the rain on the upstairs screened in balcony. House was cozy and comfy. Easy drive to all local businesses. We are already planning a return trip back!

The great: Probably the nicest location available for rent on the Rainbow River, private and scenic. Located on a large heavily treed and well shaded lot. Forest to the south, river and forest to the north, neighbors on each side not too close. Herons, Ibis, Egrets, Wood ducks, many other water birds and song birds to be watched from the cottage. Also, a herd of deer, wild turkeys, and an armadillo visited.
The good: This is an older summer cottage, a little worn, but clean and comfortable. Watch the wildlife from the upper and lower screened porches, or the large dock on the river morning and evening, and the kayaks and tubers during the day. Great direct access for your own kayak. If you bring a boat you can tie up at the dock. Well equipped kitchen and appliances, all in good working order, new Roku TV, you can connect with bluetooth for streaming.
The not so good: Internet is slow and intermittent during the day. After dark, good enough for streaming. If you use the lower bedroom, be aware, there is only one small bathroom with toilet and shower on the upper level, on the lower level there is only an outdoor shower. VRBO outside photo is probably 10 years old.

If your looking for a place to get off the grid and away from the crowds this property is for you! Enjoy a walk in the morning through old Florida, afternoon paddles down to Blue Run state park (drop a car there in the early morning), and evenings sitting on the dock with a cocktail. Fenced in property was great for our dog Maggie!

This is a perfect spot to enjoy Rainbow River. We loved tubing off the dock to Blue Run and canoeing to the headspring. The wildlife is phenomenal; wood ducks and otters spotted from the porch. Made for a very relaxing vacation with beautiful scenery in a comfortable house.

Been dreading doing this review, I dont like conflict/complaining, however, there were quite a few things that were just unacceptable, & few that were fantastic. The fantastic; the beautiful river, peace/quiet of being out of a big city, cardinals & otters visited every morning while sipping coffee on upstairs balcony, the 103 bluegill my son cought & released & the feeling of the crisp water washing all the worries away. Now the hard part. First thing you notice - the outside shower right next to the front door, used bars of soap, wet cigarette butts on the old rusted chair in the corner, weeds coming thru floor mat, mold growing various places. Gross, unuseable. The stairs and laundry room are right as you open the front door, no air, June in FL is pretty rough, planned on putting our dogs crates in this area, was just too hot. Downstairs patio has a mold issue, the smell is overpowering and we were unable to use this space. Downstairs bedrm smelled amazing, scented wall plug ins. Upstairs, the sheets on the bed were white but covered in stains, some appeared to be menstrual cycle stains,we had to go to walmart to get a sheet set, also had to buy a coffee pot,the one provided had black mold in the water fill tank! We are immune compromised and haven't been in a store in over a year, but curbside pickup wasnt available. I told the property manager that we were immune compromised so could she make sure things were extra sanitized, but once we saw the shower I had my husband lysol everything & check the ac filters, Upstairs bedrm air filter was thick with dust, same in downstairs bedrm. Listing said no one there day before/after but someone was able to book checkin for same day we left. Dining chair cushions were really stained and had food particles in the button holes. 3 people also came walking thru the backyard, with 2 dogs,unannounced! They store their boat there, no one told us, thank god our dogs were crated upstairs, could of gone bad quickly! There is no downstairs fridge and grill is not gas as pictured. Last straw, my daughter,12, finding a used condom under the couch trying to find one of the dogs balls!l Got a message with link to their website, found out we could of stayed entire month for a a little more than what we paid for 6 nights! Nightly month rate on their site would of been acceptable. Also bring your our own dishwasher tabs, and the oven took twice the normal time to cook everything. Just overall disappointed

Internet was slow, tho owners worked hard to improve it. No cable TV, almost no TV channels to be had. But- otters out back! Quiet street, and what a great river. Not always real comfortable, but it is hard to complain when you have so much life around you.

Had an amazing time with my daughters on the river, the house is just perfect to get away from it all.

Simple, clean home in the perfect location. The dock offers a great vista of the river as well as a perfect jumping off point. Great for a family looking to get away. MaryAnn was an amazing host. She patiently answered our questions, and made our experience one of the best ever!
