About this property
"Like a Tree House" Overlooking the Water
The original owner of this property told us that she felt like she lived in a tree house. She was right! Enjoy lazy days under the shade of these big beautiful live oaks. Updated recently with new floors and furnishings, you will find our home very comfortable and peaceful.
This home with 2 spacious bedrooms and 1 bathroom sleeps 4 people comfortably. Queen size bed in master, full size bed in guest room. Kitchen is fully stocked with pots & pans, utensils, dishes, and enough "essentials" in bathroom and kitchen to get your vacation started.
Once you get settled in, go out and enjoy the outdoors. The pristine Weeki Wachee River is home to an abundance of wildlife. You'll see sheepshead, mullet, blue crabs, and of course manatees. I counted 10 manatees one early morning leaving the spring at the end of our canal! And of course tropical birds, hawks, and eagles. Use my kayaks (3) or canoe (1) or bring your boat and tie up to my dock. Or you can rent a jon boat or kayaks from the marina across the road from the entrance to my neighborhood. Take the provided beach chairs, beach towels, and umbrella to the beach at Rogers Park, on the river (2 min away) or Pine Island, on the gulf (10 min).
My family and I have been spending weekends in this home for 10 years. It should have everything you need to enjoy your time here.

This was the cleanest verbo I have been to so far. Everything was just how it said it was. It was stocked with everything you could ever need. It was a wonderful experience.
What a great vacation rental! They had everything we would need to make our stay comfortable. The views were wonderful and we never ran out of stuff to do!
We stayed here about 8 years ago and loved it. We tried to reserve it again a few times over the last few years, but it was always reserved. We finally got lucky and were able to reserve it for our Weeki Wachee vacation. It was just as we remembered it, maybe even a little nicer. The house had everything we needed and was perfectly appointed and equipped. I can't think of a thing we needed that we didn't have.We loved sitting on the elevated deck watching the canal as fish swam by, it was so relaxing. We paddled up the Weeki Wachee (best done during the week as the weekend can get pretty wild) and we paddled out to the Muddy River. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and will definitely try to rent The Tree House again.
Had a lovely stay at this wonderful property. Dawn was a great host and wonderful communicator. Great location for access to the park and just a fantastic spot for relaxing.
This was by far the best place to get away everything was as said but way more!! Great host and a amazing place one of my best vacations almost want to keep a secret!!! from the dolphins and manatees to the fish 🎣 and amazing paddle to the springs perfect get away will definitely be back 😊
What a lovely property. It’s so cozy and peaceful. It was just as described with all the amenities. We loved being able to hop in the kayaks from the dock and go down the river. We would definitely stay here again.
Such a great spot to spend a quick weekend getaway. The property was just as listed, super cute and homey. We brought our own paddle boards so we didn’t use onsite kayaks but there are plenty to spare with life vests available for use.
We enjoyed our stay at Like a tree house. Seen 4 Manatees the very first day, this is our second time staying at Dawns place and would highly recommend it to anyone!
