About this property
Paradise at Riverbend with beautiful riverfront setting!
Enjoy the tranquil and peaceful setting directly on the Withlacoochee River. This special home offers a beautiful natural setting and many extras to enjoy during your stay.
Relax on the very cozy outdoor lanai while experiencing the beautiful surroundings. You will be in awe of the morning view from the upstairs bedroom overlooking the tranquil river setting. It is a bird watcher’s paradise with many bird sounds to greet you. Your morning coffee never tasted so good!
You can fish right off the floating dock or adventure out in one of the kayaks to discover the truly amazing surroundings which include an 8,000 acre nature preserve directly across the river. In the past, we have seen deer, hogs, and even otters playing on the shore bank of that preserve.
Enjoy the newly renovated kitchen that any chef would love! There is a pool table for those fun game challenges. You can experience an early morning soak, afternoon swim or an evening gathering in the swim spa/hot tub that can’t be beat!
A master bedroom upstairs and an upstairs loft with a queen size sleeper sofa as well as two downstairs guest bedrooms allow this home to accommodate 6 guests.
Spend a day floating down the crystal clear Rainbow River which is just minutes away!
We are close to Crystal River where you can see the manatees or schedule a seasonal scalloping trip. Also, the amazing World Equestrian Center is just a short drive away!
For your added comfort and security we have an electronic gate to access the property and have installed blink security cameras outside front and back doors. Due to the close proximity of the river, NO child is allowed UNDER 6. Also, in consideration of future guests with allergies, we do not accept indoor smoking or any pets on the premises.
Come discover this outstanding home sanctuary and you will soon find out that you may never want to leave!

This is our families 3rd time staying here. We find it extremely relaxing and peaceful. Close to shopping and restaurants. Host provides everything we need for preparing own food. Highly recommend their lovely home. View of the river excellent from the screen room. This time saw otters, deer, gator and variety of birds. Will be staying again in the future
This was my second stay in this home, and it maintained its excellence. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked, the beds are comfy and the kayaks are plentiful. Highly recommend including great communication with the sellers. Hope to be back again the fall :)

We so appreciate you coming back to visit us again. So glad you enjoyed your stay for a second time! We hope to see you this fall. :)
Our stay was absolutely amazing! The photos do the the justice. Our only suggestion is to get an eletric kettle as I kept waking everyone else up, but that goes to show you how perfect this property is, as this is our only "complain". Thank you Karen and Kevin, we will definitely be back!

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Funny you should mention that about the teapot. We do have an individual one in the upper cabinet that you can use that we had just gotten. Next time you come, you can use it. Ha! Thanks for the positive review. We really appreciate it.
The pictures if this house and property do not do it justice. It is absolutely beautiful. We had such an amazing stay. We loved sitting in the screened in patio and on the deck watching the wildlife. The deck was also great for stargazing. We took the kayaks out for a spin and ended each day with a dip in the hot tub. The house itself is decorated beautifully, the beds are super comfy and the kitchen has everything you may need. The location was great as well, close to Rainbow Springs and not far from Crystal River. We can’t say enough good things about this house.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! You mentioned all my favorite spots! We’ve been seeing so much wildlife lately across the river while sitting on the deck. There’s a family of deer that have been coming down the riverbank to get their drink of water. So fun to watch! Thank you for coming and we hope to see you another time!
The host were great. Everything was in working order. We spent time both inside and out! The grounds were beautiful. The views of the river were breathtaking!
