About this property

Sept discount 150 nightly pet friendly free kayaks great dock screen room fenced

Rivers Edge Retreat is a private oasis located on the Withlacoochie river in citrus county florida. Great location to enjoy all the nature coast has to offer. Short distance to Ocala, Inverness, Homosassa Springs, Crystal River, and Dunnellon. Come and experience swimming with the manatees, tubing down the Rainbow River, scalloping in Homosassa and Crystal River, fishing on the withlacoochie and lake rousa., biking hiking, kayaking on the rivers, horseback riding, and Golfing. So much to do or just do nothing at all but enjoy and relax. My home offers you the perfect place to enjoy the privacy, sitting on the dock or in the screen room enjoying all of nature. You can bring your own boat and tie up to the dock or enjoy the use of two single kayaks one double kayak paddle boat or canoe available for free. I also provide two adult bikes and two childrens bikes for your enjoyment. At night you can sit around the fire pit and listen to nature sing. Grill your catch of the day on the provided gas grill and eat on the deck under the stars. The backyard is completely fenced and has two beautiful old oaks with huge staghorn ferns offering you plenty of shade. If you want some family fun try your skill at corn hole. There are many bird feeders so you can enjoy watching many varieties of birds as they come and go. If you choose to take day trips we are located close to Orlando with all of it's attractions and Tampa which is home to Bush Gardens. If you love to eat out our area offers some of the finest seafood in Florida. We have numerous festivals throughout the year celebrating our pioneer and Indian history and seafood festivals allowing you to taste all the local foods. I love this area of Florida for it's beauty and laid back lifestyle. So come and enjoy, relax, unwind, in what Florida once looked like.

Peaceful Getaway

My husband and I wanted a quiet, peaceful atmosphere where we could bring our two dogs and just experience nature. The yard was fenced so we felt comfortable letting the dogs out and being able to go out your back door and kayak down the river was wonderful! It was close enough to local places to eat and to Rainbow River State Park. Overall, very nice stay and would definitely go back.

River House retreat

Property has many amazing features and we especially enjoyed the access to the river using the supplied kayaks and the outdoor screened gazebo. The neighbors and all the people we ran into in the neighborhood are very friendly. It was a great location for us and perfectly centered between Dunnellon and Ocala.

Total peace

I absolutely love this property! This is the second time we have stayed here and we will absolutely be back asap! We live in Tampa and this place is the perfect getaway from the busy city life. The yard is fenced in and my dogs have so much fun. I especially like the fact that you have to go through a gate to get to the water so I don’t have to stress about the dogs. Thank you Donna for having us again!! We will see you soon!!

About the host

Hosted by Donna Coleman

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Florida but now reside in Tennessee.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property in citrus county on the river because of my love of nature . The withlacoochie river is a nature and bird lovers paradise. I love kayaking and boating on the river and photographing the wildlife along the river.

What makes this property unique

My home has a secluded backyard that lets you sit on the dock or in the screen room and enjoy nature. I have many bird feeders that let you enjoy the birds as they come and go. You can go kayaking or boating right from the property or throw out a fishing line from the dock. This property is so peaceful it allows you to relax and unwind and enjoy nature without ever leaving the house.
