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.

Lovely home on the lake

We had a great vacation stay at this home. Our dog loved the fenced in yard and our son loved the kayaks and canoe. We were on the lake fishing and paddling every day.

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.

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.

Retreat from a rough summer

We stayed at this super cute property as I am recovering from knee surgery and we recently lost one of our dogs. We needed a change of scenery for ourselves and our other dog. This was a perfect reset out in nature. Reading, fishing, afternoon naps, and campfires. So thankful for this little piece of heaven.
