Second year staying in this magical spot. Weather was perfect and manatees were out every day. The view is worth every penny!

Great!
Beautiful, natural and private location. With only a few neighbors, directly on the river and surrounded by nature preserve and state park, we saw deer and wild turkeys daily. One day there was an otter along the far bank. It was end of season for manatees, but one went by several days headed out to the bay. Always visited by squirrels and occasional ibis when relaxing on the deck. Terrific kayaking. Not good for swimming as the current is quite strong. Pleasant escape!

Gorgeous Location House lacking
Review for Don Lane River House – Weeki Wachee Springs Overall Experience: 9.8/10 Property Rating: 7.5/10The Don Lane River House is beautifully located in one of the most desirable parts of the Weeki Wachee River, offering stunning views and a peaceful setting. If you’re looking for a scenic getaway, this location truly delivers. It came with four kayaks, which was a great bonus, and I also rented a Go Boat from MyRamBoat.com just down the river – the lady there was amazing, and I highly recommend checking her out for a fun water experience.However, while the location is nearly perfect, the house itself fell short in many ways, mainly due to the lack of basic amenities and maintenance issues.The Good: Amazing Riverfront Location – Peaceful, scenic, and ideal for kayaking and relaxing. Plenty of Floats & Safety Gear – Nice to have extras like pool noodles and life vests. Kayaks Included – A great perk for exploring the river.The Not-So-Good: Lack of Basic Amenities – No dish soap, no sponges, no laundry detergent, and very minimal kitchen essentials. If you plan to cook, bring your own cookware, as the non-stick pots and pans are so scratched they are unusable (microplastic concerns). Only a few usable dishes for baking. Structural Issues & Safety Hazards – The uneven floors made it difficult to walk around comfortably, especially for someone with back problems. It was actually nauseating at times and would be a nightmare for anyone in a wheelchair.

Quiet with abundant nature
Quiet place, loved being on the river, seemed like a nature preserve. Saw many different animals and a manatee swam by. Ran out of paper towels, garbage bags and dish washer packets.

Spring Paradise
My husband and I love springs, kayaking, and paddleboarding, this was a perfect place for all of this and more. We grilled, relaxed in the water with our morning coffee, and caught a mermaid show at the nearby Weeki Watchee State Park. The home is perfect for a couple or a family and Amy is a great host. We loved the old Florida quiet feel of the area and home. We will be back for more paradise by the spring for sure!

Beautiful place, but don't recommend
I come to this part of Weeki Wachee at least once a year. I've stayed at the other houses here, and they all got 5 stars.
Sorry but can't give 5 stars. I'm just glad my family and the kids didn't come, only a couple of friends joined. Or it would've been a stressor and a let down.
VRBO doesn't tell you in big bold print what is not provided.
I DID read that we have to bring our own "paper products" such as toilet paper. So I did bring some but we didn't need extra.
There was no laundry detergent... for a 5 day minimum stay at a river where clothes get dirty n wet. Come on.
We had to get dishwasher detergent + sponge, Because only two dishwasher pods were provided... one was hidden under some towels. I re-washed their plastic plates with one of these pods in the dishwasher on the last day.
We even had to get our own body wash / bath soap. Most places provide body wash, shampoo, conditioner. Just get some cheap ones. Just give people a vacation rather than have the woman pack n worry.
Basically - Nothing is provided.
For only $20 there could be: (1) laundry detergent, (2) bath soaps, (3) dishwasher detergent + sponge.
It is not easy to get in and out because of the broken road.
The deer and turkeys were cute. The mosquitoes were poisonous, and probably carry deer tick = Lyme disease.

Peaceful
Our group of 6 enjoyed staying here very much. We especially enjoyed the living room, dining and kitchen areas. The 2 regular bedrooms were very comfortable. We loved the kayaks and our chance nature encounters with deer and wild Turkey. The bunk room is obviously meant for kids and we did not find that room comfortable and functional as an adult. This could be changed by some simple additions including mattress pads on the beds, improved comforters or blankets, a side table by each bunk, and some kind of dresser or side table to put your bath items on. Literally invest $200 and this could be fixed. Also, the outdoor furniture is similar and not very comfortable. Just needs a slight upgrade and the area would be so much more enjoyable. Overall though, very enjoyable!

Location can't be beat
Amy was very accommodating and helpful during our short stay. The location was perfect to kayak up to the headspring and float back down to the house. We saw manatee every day during our stay. We also saw deer, turkey, an owl, turtles and so many fish while sitting on the deck. The kids got so much use out of the rope swing. It was very a very peaceful stay. The only thing I would warn about is that you will want to bring extra paper products and cleaning supplies. There was very little toilet paper provided and I never did find any dishwasher soap. I had read previous comments in the reviews about this though so we came prepared with all we needed. It is also worth pointing out that this house has a bit of a "fun house" effect with the sloped floors everywhere. It is not fancy inside, but it was comfortable and the river truly is as beautiful as it appears in the photos! We were outside most of the time anyway so it was the perfect place for us to stay. I would definitely stay there again.

Weeki Wachee stay
Think the overall experience was great, but some of the pictures did not represent what was actually on-site (patio furniture, grill, etc.). But this did not diminish desire to return. A truelly beautiful setting and house.
