Comfort Suites Dunnellon near Rainbow Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Nice breakfast "

Beautiful secluded setting on the Rainbow River surrounded by state forest

10/10 Excellent

"A Waterfront Paradise on the Rainbow River**Rating: 5/5 Stars**This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful property on the Rainbow River. If you are looking for a perfect riverside getaway, this is it.### The Main House & ViewThe house is incredibly well-equipped and comfortable. The main house features a very comfortable king-size bed, but the real highlight is the bedroom layout. With floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water and double doors leading out to a screened-in back porch, the views are simply wonderful.### Unbeatable River AccessThe deck design is awesome. It starts right at the front door and leads you all the way to the water's edge—you can walk from the house straight to the river without ever stepping off the deck. There are even built-in steps leading directly into the water, making it effortless to get in and out for a swim. We spent our mornings and late afternoons on the deck watching the abundant wildlife; seeing the otters play was a true highlight of the trip.### The Guest HouseIn addition to the main house, there is a guest house located just outside. It is also very well-appointed with another big bed, a nice full bathroom, and a kitchenette that has everything you need (minus a stove). It provided great extra space and privacy.### Amenities & HospitalityThe host is very friendly and went above and beyond by providing plenty of kayaks and paddleboards at no extra cost. Having those available made exploring the river so easy"

"The house is spectacular. Relaxing and nestled into a quiet part of the river. Fully stocked kitchen with utensils and everything needed for a long or short stay. The property owner was very attentive and responsive. We had 5 couples staying on property and we all had ample room."

"The Chimera house was in the perfect location and was spotless when we checked in at 4:00. It was nice to wake up in the morning and enjoy our coffee on the dock watching all the wildlife. The arcade room was a treat for all of us and enjoyed listening to the jukebox. Hal was great communicating with us from start to finish. We will visiting this gem again."

"This is just a wonderful spot to stay on the rainbow river. The home was peaceful and relaxing spot for my family, and most mornings I could sit out and watch the otters play. The home has everything you would need for an enjoyable time on the water as well as quick access into town. "

We’ve stayed in many different places through VRBO, but this was the first time we felt like we were in a home thoughtfully designed for families with kids, both comfort and fun were clearly a priority.The location is absolutely unbeatable, and every detail made our stay feel easy and special. We will definitely be coming back soon.Best stay ever—thank you so much!"
