Perfect location close to the river with a view. The accommodations were comfortable and spacious for 7 of us along with 3 dogs. The owner is very prompt in communicating and flexible with check in and check out which we really appreciated. We made great memories here and it was a 5-star stay for our family at Rainbow River. Also our favorite breakfast place is Purple Sage and is only a 1 minute drive.

Beautiful stay by springs
This home was beautiful, exactly as listed! The park that is across from the house is $2 per person to enter and when there is no attendant there is a box for the cash as an honor system. Be warned for older adults, young toddlers or pets there is a ton of stairs. My mom was having a bit of trouble going up and down so just keep that in mind. The beds were so comfortable and no one had any trouble sleeping, there are also plenty of towels so dont worry about bringing any! So many amenities nearby also! My dad and I went on a 3 hour kayak ride through the springs and passed right by the property. Truely a wonderful location and the owners were always helpful and quick to respond with any inquiries. Highly recommend!

Family Getaway…
We had a great weekend just having family time. It was a bit chilly for kayaking but we went blueberry picking, did the state park. Everything was so close to the home which was very clean and spacious with a pretty view. The hosts? I can’t say enough; So Kind, responsive, accommodating. This place was the perfect spot for our family. Thank you for having us.

Perfect place to relax and swim
My husband and I, adult kids, grand kids and mom had a wonderful time at this house. The park behind the house is a perfect place for the kids and adults to safely swim, BBQ and enjoy the outdoors. The house had everything we needed. We rented a pontoon boat one day about a mile away from the house and took a scenic trip up the river, stopping at swimming holes along the way. I would 100% visit this house again.

Fun house and great location
We enjoyed our stay! It was clean, very comfortable and so close to the bike trails and river. Even though it is at the public entrance to the river, it never got loud, and the gates close at 6, so the evenings were peaceful on the balcony.

Fabulous
This home is exceptionally clean. The furnishings are in great condition and the home is very tastefully decorated. The location is very close to shopping, grocery, fast food etc.. the back porch is prefect to drink coffee and stare at the beautiful rainbow river. The host is by far the best VRBO host i have dealt with. Very easy going. We were early to the home and they told us we could go in at anytime we wanted which was very nice. I would stay here again positively. The entire experience was fantastic and we have stayed at other homes on this river. But they were not as good as this one.

Wonderful View, Lovely Home
We enjoyed our stay very much. The small park behind the house is convenient and the view from the upstairs is wonderful. The $2/person fee for the park is very reasonable. We launched the paddle board and kayaks from the park easily, carrying them down with the convenient carts in the garage. Unfortunately, pets aren't allowed in the park, but the walled-in backyard was perfect for our dogs. Two of the kayaks leaked badly, and we didn't know until we couldn't paddle them home, but Andy promises to replace them before we go back -- and we definitely want to go back! Great communication and very easy place to stay.

Great place for the family
We had a wonderful stay - Communication was excellent. The proximity to the park, and river cannot be beat. The small park was an absolute treasure- the children had a wonderful time playing in the crystal clear water which was comfortable - at least for kids- in February. The park was very well maintained. The beds in the house were comfortable, and the back porch was spacious and provided a great place to dine on sunny days. The tv in the living room is small, but we didnt go to watch tv. We wanted to enjoy the outdoors- we swam with the manatees at Crystal River which was a 30 min drive away, and nearby Citrus Springs Golf was fun and reasonable. It should be noted that this is a pet friendly place so if you have allergies bring some appropriate meds- we had a couple in our group that were sensitive to it. We would certainly recommend the place, especially if you want to bring your pet.
