This was a great place to stay! Everything was clean and stocked. Great to to have the canal right behind the house. I will definitely be renting this again! 5 Stars!
This is the perfect little getaway. The wildlife was amazing; from fireflies to manatees. The stars at night are beautiful. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a little getaway.
Enjoyed fishing off the dock, fire pit and had plenty of room . Enjoy the Rainbow river. A couple of good restaurants very close. Hoping to go again next year.
Our first time on this property, but our third year with Dan and Margaret as our hosts. Canoe access in the yard, and near other beautiful rivers, made it perfect for us. Very clean and relaxing spot.
We would love to come back. The home had everything we needed to just relax. We fished off the dock and on night one, caught a few large catfish and some bass. Fried them up and enjoyed great freah fish. We had a fire and watched the stars and even enjoyed a few movie nights. Would recommend.
Comfortable and CLEAN. Access to kayak or two would be nice. Short drive to anumber of Florida state pars and trails. Sunshine EVERY SINGLE DAY and 80 degree days in January. Kept the Ibis and Egrets happy with freshly caught panfish from the dock.
We had a lot of fun fishing off the dock and even saw an Alligator. The place is close to local eating spots and close enough to rainbow springs to go kayaking. House was nice and clean.
Only downfall which is nothing towards the owners. Just be on the look out for airboats speeding through while fishing.
But we will definitely be booking again
We had a relaxing time. Stayed for three months to get away from the Wisconsin winter. Smiling as we sat on the dock watching the wildlife and the canal stream by. Country cute décor and felt very private from neighbors. Right by two great restaurants. The owner was very attentive and helpful.
