This is actually my family’s second stay at this property because we had such a great time for the Forth of July. It is located closely to all of the best local attractions but it is still private and quiet. The pool is always a hit and the home and property are clean and well equipped for a great long weekend. We will definitely be back!

We would definitely recommend this property to anyone and would definitely stay again. Tried to get the towels and such washed, but had an early flight out. Sorry..

The layout of house was the main reason I booked it. G-ma and G-pa in Master on one wing and other bedrooms and baths on opposite side of house for grandkids and mom and dad. The house is the PERFECT size for a group. The pool was a blessing and well needed. Pool very clean! Kitchen has everything you need

We love this home. It is our second time staying there. This time we had a mini family reunion. It was the perfect size. And a great escape from city life.
The horseshoe pit is gone and the back is changed up a little. Looks like there is a plan to add something cool. Can't wait to see whats next. 😍

This is our second time staying here, and we love it. It is a large spacious house, which is beautifully decorated and well stocked with all that’s needed. There is a lovely covered patio, looking out at the pool, which is covered by a lanai, then out in the yard is a lovely shaded table and chairs, and in another corner, a nice conversation area. Location is so convenient near all the stores and close to the Rainbow River.

What a great home. We have family in the area that we were visiting. Thank you for the use of your fabulous home. What a tranquil and relaxing vacation. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone and would definitely stay again. The only issue was the request to have towels and bed linens washed before leaving. Unfortunately we lady at 8:30 am and tried to wash what we could but didn’t have the time in the morning to complete all lines. Sorry but I tried.

Great property and location. Only thing that needed some attention was the grill was not clean when arrived and the pool needed a good cleaning as well. Overall though it was the perfect place for us to unwind and enjoy nature.
10.0 / 10.0
The house was immaculate and all the instructions were accurate. We did not need to contact the owner.
The pool and neighborhood are very attractive features of this house. Also, it is very close to KPHole.
Only bummer was having to wash and dry the linens before leaving; with a full house it took a long time.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful and spacious property. It's location is terrific, surrounded by nature and only minutes away from the Rainbow River and the Rainbow Springs state park. The house is very well kept, very clean, wonderfully decorated. There are four bedrooms that comfortably fitted our two families (8 altogether). All you need for cooking, chilling and having a good time is there. We loved the big pool.
Tom was a wonderful host and always quick to respond to our questions. Highly recommend this place.

Absolutely Amazing
This was the first time I have rented a VRBO property and was so impressed with EVERYTHING about it! So many things were provided that the family and I hardly had to bring anything. The house was a beautiful setting and so peaceful and quiet. It was located about 10 minutes from the main entrance to Rainbow Springs Park which was ideal. My grandsons loved swimming in the pool several times a day. The house is perfect for families. I got in touch with the owner once and he immediately responded to my question. This vacation was a wonderful experience and we hope to go there again in the future.

Quiet location and great family time
Great place for family fun and pool time. Two separate living areas so plenty of room for adults and kids to separate plus a bedroom/kids play room. Well stocked home so only bring necessities. Owner very responsive. Location is quite and relaxing.

Everything-all in one
Mr. Rills home was exactly what my family and I were looking for! This location was perfect for us to relax, and unwind-especially after a day on the Rainbow River. We spent lots of time in the pool, got in a good walk around the neighborhood, enjoyed s’mores in the lovely outdoor sitting area. I even won bragging rights to winning the game of horse shoes. My husband, and daughter enjoyed the old school video game, while I enjoyed the jets spa tub! Thanks!

Awesome stay on rainbow river
The house was fairly easy to find with instructions from owner, nice and tucked away in the woods. Very clean inside and out. Could not of asked for a nicer stay! Minutes from rainbow springs and short drive to devils den and crystal river which is why we were visiting the area. I would definitely recommend to anyone coming to visit this part of Florida and we would absolutely rent again if we come back. Thanks for a great stay!

Great house tucked away
The home was just as described. The cleanliness was 5 star and the location was great. 2 minute drive to Rainbow River. The pool was perfect for when you just wanted to relax instead of going to the river. Yard was wonderful for kids to run around and we even had a huge white turkey visit us. Beds were really comfortable and there were plenty of TVs if you just wanted to be by yourself. Overall it was a wonderful house for Memorial weekend. Host was almost immediate in responding too.
