Withlacoochee River Chalet Great River View, near Rainbow River

Come relax in Florida's Nature Coast in this eclectic, spacious riverside home. Take in the breathtaking view while lounging in the sunroom, hammock, or upstairs deck. Explore the wild beauty of the Withlacoochee River downstream from the Rainbow River and launch one of our kayaks or the canoe right from the backyard.
The space
After a great day on the river making memories gather around the fireplace and enjoy one of the many games or puzzles or have a foosball match. Cast a line and catch a large mouth bass, catfish, gar, or brim right off our peninsula with fishing poles provided. Challenge your friends and family to a game of bocce ball or corn hole. Cook a delicious home cooked meal in the well equipped kitchen or grill out on the high tech Cuisineart gas/pellet grill. Soak in the relaxing hot tub or roast marshmallows around the firepit. Pop a bowl of popcorn and enjoy your favorite movies or shows off Hulu Plus, ESPN, Disney and Netflix on the huge projector screen.

Additional rules
KEEP OUR RIVERS CLEAN!
There are steep fines if you enter Rainbow River with anything disposable, including wrappers! Please use the Tupperware and reusable water bottles and bags provided.
Do not leave trash, cigarette butts or have balloons outside.
WE ARE ON WELL and SEPTIC
The water is safe and delicious from the faucet. We just had a brand new Hydrogen Clean Water system installed. The faucet water is delicious, so fill up reusable water bottles and hit the river!

DO NOT flush anything down the toilets except toilet paper!

DO NOT SWIM OR FLOAT in the Withlacoochee River! BEWARE OF ALLIGATORS! You can kayak 25 minutes to Chaplin A Dinkins Park where Rainbow River meets Withlacoochee and you can swim there and of course the head spring!

Launch the Kayaks at the end of my peninsula, wipe down and place back on kayak racks when finished.

The Guest Shed is the portion to the back and the key is hanging on the hook by the front door. There are bags of pellets for the grill and an extra propane tank. You may use all items in the Guest Shed but please return items to their designated area, check off the check list hanging and report any broken, empty or missing items so I can replace them for the next guests.
Please respect our property and DO NOT take cover off or tamper with my pontoon boat. Also, DO NOT tamper with locked closets. And please DO NOT risk injury or property damage by climbing stairs onto the Florida room roof! I plan on having a contractor build an observation and sunbathing deck with railings in the future, and hope you will return to enjoy it!

TRASH DAY is very early morning FRIDAYS.
