About this property

The Lakeside River House

Enjoy free use of my canoes and kayaks!!

The house is located right on Lake Rousseau. This lake is approximately 12 miles long and averages 1 to 1.5 miles wide. The Withlacoochee River runs through Lake Rousseau and helps create what the older locals call the Back Country. The river is marked with red and green channel markers. It is very important to stay between the markers because the lake is full of cypress stumps, but the stumps create great fish habits and predator hideouts. The lake and river system connects to the Rainbow River which is a 7 mile long river with crystal clear water. It is a very popular river for the tubers. Of course, you can enjoy the entire water system right from your dock or from the floating kayak dock. Bring your boat and paddle craft! You are also welcome to carefully use, at your own risk, the 2 canoes and 2 kayaks that are available during your stay.
This is an ideal getaway from the city and the noise.
The house has a cozy and warm feeling to it and your stay there will be very relaxing. There is cable TV, WiFi, stereo and a smart TV in case you would like to access Netflix, etc. There are also board games and cards available.

This house in the country is located right in the middle of two towns. To the east 8 miles, is Dunnellon, which is well known for its leisurely ride down the Rainbow River, and down south about 11 miles, there is the Crystal River, known for its Gulf of Mexico fishing, scalloping, a golf course, and numerous fresh water springs. It is also popular for the manatee watching. People come from all over the world to observe them.

Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Remove personal items and take out the rubbish
Turn off the lights, lock the doors and return the keys
Please don't leave dirty dishes.
Leave the AC units at 80
You don't have to strip beds but my cleaners would love you if you did.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
Enjoy the house and the lake but remember the good sense God gave you. CAUTION: The lake has alligators so we must say NO SWIMMING for your safety.
No loud parties because the neighborhood residents are mostly retired and I won't allow them to be subjected to obnoxious people. It's respect.
Again NO SWIMMING. Alligators can be present. Also, slightly submerged stumps can really hurt you. Believe me.
