Lake Rouseau Waterfront, Wifi, great sunsets, fireplace & fire-pit, pet friendly

This spacious 2 bedroom and 1 bath cottage on Lake Rouseau has everything you need to for a great vacation. Bring your fishing gear or just spend time relaxing. It is located on Crystal River’s premier large base lake. The convenience of the nearby boat ramp will make your fishing easy and fun. You will also have direct access to the Gulf of Mexico from that ramp. Bike or walk the area trails. There are 2 kayaks and a canoe for your use. How about a round of golf after a little fishing, so don’t forget your clubs. There are several championship courses nearby. The open concept of this home is comfortable and great for entertaining. To really appreciate the cottage, take a moment to view our photos. This is truly a place to take pleasure in the outdoors, fishing, hiking, boating or simply watching the sunset.

The Nature Coast of Florida not only has great fishing but many amenities minutes away.

Wonderful Trip

House was extremely clean and Amy was wonderful. Despite past reviews complaining about sea grass overgrowth near dock had no problem catching a decent sized cat fish. Hughes net satellite isp is a bit lacking but not much can be done about that as it's a little remote. Thanks Amy for an awesome stay!

Lake Rousseau get away

The location was excellent, the lake serene and relaxing. The cottage pictures were probably taken a while ago, but still reflect a comfortable place to get away from busy schedules and demands of city life. We tried fishing from the dock, unsuccessfully. Didn’t use the kayaks and canoe available because there isn’t a ramp or launching pad, though there is the one a mile away, if you can strap the kayak to your car’s roof.

Beautiful lake house

The reservation and check-in process were super simple thanks to support from the owners. The home is right on the lake and has a dock and outdoor screened in sitting area as shown in the pictures. The inside of the house is vintage but very well maintained and very clean. It literally had anything and everything we needed for our one week stay.The house is located close to some pretty cool attractions as well, including rainbow Springs and the town of Crystal River.I highly recommend renting this house if you’re looking for lakefront access and the ability to fish coupled with easy access to local tourist destinations in the nature coast area.

Perfect dog friendly Lake house

We really enjoyed our stay at Amy’s lake house. Having a fenced in yard was great for the pups and we really enjoyed the dock and water craft that they had available for us. The home was clean and had great views of the backyard.

Tranquil Lake House

We enjoyed our stay. It was only a short drive to Crystal River and the views of the lake are beautiful. We were able to bring our four legged family members with us and the fenced in yard was great for them. There are also walking trails and a boat launch just minutes away. It was a nice getaway, very quiet and tranquil.
