We had such a great time! We’ve stayed at quite a few places on Rainbow River, and this one was by far our favorite from the location and beautiful updates in the home to the convenient parking.The home was very clean, had plenty of outdoor space, and was perfect for a family vacation. This was also a great time of year to visit! Since school was back in session, the river was much less congested, which made it even more enjoyable. We loved watching the otters and turtles in the water and even the raccoons, although they were a little sneaky! We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!

This Vrbo offered a luxury experience from the moment we arrived. Rachel is an outstanding host — incredibly helpful, quick to respond, and she genuinely thinks of every detail. We were welcomed with snacks, beverages, a s’mores kit, and chocolate mints placed on the pillows, which made the home feel warm and elevated. The location added even more magic to our stay. We took a three‑hour float down the river to Swampy’s and spotted otters playing along the way. It was serene, memorable, and the perfect touch to an already exceptional trip.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review, Rosemary! It was a pleasure having you as our guests, and I’m thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your stay. Creating a place where guests can relax, feel at home, and enjoy a few special touches along the way is what I strive for, so it’s wonderful to know those details made an impression. And the Rainbow River really does make a stay here something special — I’m so glad you got to experience the float to Swampy’s and even saw some otters along the way! Thank you again for choosing our home for your stay. We would absolutely love to have you back!

What an amazing property and host! Just a wow. Communication was fantastic, check in was a breeze, and the house was stocked with snacks, water, specialty waters and smores. Water and mints were on the beds. Dining suggestions were excellent as were boat rental recommendations. Beds were very comfortable and the host made provisions in case toiletries were forgotten. Attention to detail surpassed any expectation I had. I’m a Florida native who never saw rainbow springs. My husband and daughters had paddled on the river. It was just gorgeous and the house backyard setting was breathtaking. It was worth the splurge.

Perfect setup for a family vacation.Can't think of anything that could have improved the stay.Great location, thoughtful host, great experience.We've done a lot of vacations that were a relief to get back home; this one was the opposite. No one wanted to leave; we would have been happy staying until we died of old age. We were already planning our next stay on the ride home. Really appreciate the effort made, to make this place what it is.thank you

We had such an amazing time staying at this beautiful property. Rachel was so kind and accommodating when our travel plans changed. She made us feel welcome and was very responsive to our questions prior to check in and during our stay. This house is at a great part of the river where you can either launch a kayak to go upriver or just jump on a float and ride down to Swampy's. The home is very well taken care of and every detail was thought of. The kitchen has everything you need, there were thoughtful touches in every room, and the furnishings were very comfortable. We stay at multiple VRBOs every year and this is the best one yet! The backyard feels like you're at a resort; it was so peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful review, Dustin. Reading feedback like this truly makes all of the care and effort we put into the home worthwhile. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’m so glad I could help make your travel changes a little easier. Knowing you felt welcomed, comfortable, and able to fully enjoy everything the property and river have to offer means so much to me. It sounds like you made the most of your time on the water, whether floating down to Swampy’s or exploring upriver by kayak—those are some of our favorite ways to enjoy the river, too. Your kind words about the home, the thoughtful details, and the backyard oasis absolutely made my day. I’m honored to hear that, after staying in so many vacation rentals, this one stood out as your favorite. You were wonderful guests, and it would be my absolute pleasure to welcome you back anytime. Until then, thank you again for choosing our home for your getaway.

We had a wonderful stay, four adults & two teenagers. The house is lovely and the pictures represent it perfectly. The kitchen is very large with room for multiple people to work at once, and the living room had plenty of comfortable seating. The home was all very clean. The backyard was thoughtfully landscaped with well-planned and beautiful night-time lighting. Lots of palm trees, crape myrtles, and ferns, very park-like. We swam from the dock and a walk-in river entrance at the house. The water was very clear. We rented a pontoon boat for a day and tied up to the dock with no problem. Both Walmart and Winn-Dixie are close by if you forget something. Communication with our host was quick and easy. We highly recommend this home. It was everything we hoped it would be. Our only regret is that we did not book a longer stay.

We had an amazing stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The location was perfect for exploring Dunnellon and spending time at Rainbow River, while still being quiet and peaceful in the evenings.Traveling with our toddler can sometimes be challenging, but this place made it easy. We had plenty of space, slept great, and felt right at home. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire process seamless from check-in to check-out.We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient place to enjoy everything the Dunnellon area has to offer.

This property is beautiful! Right on the Rainbow River, so it provided endless entertainment for my kids. It has a nice fire pit and dock in the backyard, with beautiful landscape. The home itself is extremely clean. It’s well stocked with extra toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent etc. and even little snacks and treats. They included a s’more kit and that was a HIT with the kids. On top of a great location and nice home, the host was extremely kind and responsive. She helped with local recommendations. I also had a last minute medical emergency and we had to move our vacation date. She was MORE than understanding and worked with us, free of charge! We can’t wait to go back here !!! Great find !

I was initially nervous about reserving, the listing was brand new on VRBO and didn’t have any reviews when I first booked. I’m so glad we took the chance because the home exceeded our expectations!The house was clean, comfortable, and fully stocked. Rachel truly went above and beyond with all of the toiletries, kitchen essentials, and extra supplies already available. You can tell she put a lot of thought into making guests feel at home. We didn’t have any issues during our stay, but the few times we communicated with her, she was very responsive and helpful.The best part of this property is definitely the location with direct river access. We tubed directly from the house, which took us about 3 hours to drop off at Blue Run. The home also came equipped with several inflatables and kayaks. We absolutely loved our stay and would 100% come back again!
