The host was amazing! Very attentive and easy to contact. The home was very clean and made you feel right at home. The location was great for getting our daily walks in and fishing. Not only was the place well stocked with amenities they went above and beyond to make sure you had everything you would need. Already booked again for next year.

Wow. This home is wonderful. Very clean, close to the river. Our dogs were very welcome here. We have 2 labs, and it can be difficult to find a rental that allows larger dogs. Jim and Sharon are fantastic !

So glad we booked this place! Very clean, cozy, and well stocked. Jim and Sharon make themselves available by a quick text or call if you happen to need anything during your stay. Awesome hosts! We loved coming back here to grill out after floating on Rainbow River. Our pup also loved the fenced in backyard! Just a super relaxing little getaway that had everything we could have ever needed. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by James Turner

Host profile image
I am retired former owner operator of a family owned tourist attraction here in Florida. Retired and love traveling this beautiful country but love coming home to our house on the Withlacoochee River.

Why they chose this property

Love this neighborhood for its peace and quiet. Listening to the frogs, owls, and crickets at night. Enjoying the river fishing, boating, jet skiing, canoeing, and kayaking during the day. Or just floating on a tube enjoying the Florida sun.

What makes this property unique

Far enough away from cities noises but not too far from shopping, dining, attractions, or airports.
