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.

We had a great stay, fantastic location & amenities. I would strongly suggest property gets life vests for all ages. Thank goodness we brought 1 child and 6 adult life vests. There were numerous propane tanks thank goodness 1 was full since the grill tank was empty. Definitely ask the host if tanks are full if planning on using the grill or gas fire pit. washer / dryer upstairs in master bedroom, no laundry soap but we brought some with us. Road getting to the rental may be rough for a car due to sand and rain it could make it tough for a car. Overall this location is a beautiful spot on the river and we will certainly be back.

What a wonderful getaway. The location is perfect. We paddled down stream to eat at Upper Deck and back. Next day paddled up stream to State park and back. Beautiful water, manatees, fish and birds. My Round Boat rental was perfect for my husband who was not enthusiastic about paddling up stream for several miles! House is perfect, will definitely return and highly recommend.

The entire stay was absolutely amazing! Inside, outside, and surrounding areas are all breathtaking. So much wildlife, we saw manatees, crabs, all kind of fish and otter float by as we hung out on the deck. Deer walked in the river, bobcat jump on the tree right across the river from the property. This is A must stay for nature lovers! Kids and we jumped and stayed in the river all day long and floated down the current. The house inside is one of a kind interior design wood craftsmanship! Everything inside is custom made wood furniture and the entire interior is made out of wood, it is absolutely stunning. A unique experience in its own. Kitchen was well stocked, but can use few more glasses and wine glasses. And needs an ICE CREAM SCOOPER 😄 We used the kayaks every day to go both ways up and down the river which has many sandy beach stops to take a break, splash in the water, and jump off the trees. There were PLENTY of towels for everyone and a lot more extras we didn’t even need to use. Beds are comfy, king bed is SUPER comfortable. Host was quick to respond to our inquiries. Overall 10/10 experience. Unforgettable stay! We cannot wait to be back! Recommend to everyone who loves Florida springs, nature, or just wants a quiet tranquil getaway.
