The Fountain of Youth

The location is beautiful. The house really lets many people enjoy themselves at the same time. The availability of kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, tubes, and a rope swing were fantastic and really let us enjoy the water. Also, the way the island gave a beautiful view and some privacy from the river were peaceful and enjoyable! The large round table easily sat 10 people and we even squeezed 16 in for one meal. The lazy Susan was a fan favorite! We loved, loved, loved our stay here.

Perfect location

This house is a lot of fun. Lots of space, right on the water, perfect for a large group of people. There are lots of kayaks and stand-up paddle boards to use. Grill, and pool table. There is a large yard, we were able to play some yard games, and a fire pit. Lots of stores near by for food and drinks. The house was nice and clean. There are plenty of towels. All you need for the kitchen as far as cooking supplies (pots, pans, utensils, etc). If you are not familiar with the area, please do your research, we went to the state part with floats, and they are not allowed. There are lots of rules on the Rainbow River. We brought the kyacks and paddle boards to the beginning of the river and took it all the way to the house, it took 3 hours going with the current. It was an amazing experience and lots of wildlife. I highly recommend this house. We had an amazing time.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was clean. We loved the large table to eat and play games. We thought about all the stores the table could tell about all the friends and family gatherings. We loved using the paddle boards even though we brought our own boat. They were fun to use. One Thing as a suggestion : The cushions on the outside couch and love seat and chair could be replaced.

I brought my whole family here and we had a wonderful time! We were able to cook a bunch of big meals on the grill and sit at the table where we could all face each other. We love the circle table with the Lazy Susan in the middle! It was so nice to just get right on the river and not have to go to KP Whole or someone else to get in. Well worth the money!

Amazing property!! 10 out of 10!!

Our family has been gathering in Dunnellon for 5 years now for Thanksgiving and our rental this time was the best rental we have found by far. It was so great we have already booked it for 2026! The property is beautiful, the house has such a great set up for a large group with so many great spots to sit and relax and catch up with extended family and friends. The pool table was an awesome place to hang out, as was the fire pit, the porch, the deck and the river! It’s simply gorgeous! And the kitchen and bedroom set ups were perfect for a big cooking extravaganza. I especially appreciated the extra towels and blankets that were all soft and cozy and piled up ready for us to use. Thank you to the host for being so easy to work with and for sharing such a special home with us.

Lovely getaway!

Had so much fun with family at this beautiful home! You truly cannot beat the location, the river is so peaceful and absolutely stunning! There were plenty of towels which was nice because so many rentals do not have those. My only issue was there was not salt, pepper or foil which I know something that is guaranteed but it is nice when it’s already there so you have what you need in the kitchen. With all that being said, I would definitely book again! The host was also so accommodating and very responsive which was very nice.

Weekend Getaway

We had a great weekend in Rainbow! The house is in a great location to everything and the privacy of the island was wonderful. All of our friends had a great time and we would come back. We paddled from the house to Swampy. All of the swimming supplies were a great plus (tubes, floats and paddle boards). Things we would note is that there is no longer a second fridge for large groups and you can no longer use the balcony on the second floor (seen in the marketing videos on Instagram). That was a major selling point for us so that was a bummer. The upstairs room had lots of cobwebs and could use a good clean. Our friends didn’t mind, but something to consider. The bathrooms that are en suite do have secondary access from hallways. There are two grills and pretty much any supply you’d need for cooking. We had a good time regardless!

Perfect location / not perfect living conditions

The best location on the springs. We had the most perfect swimming hole, right next to the tubing. The area was beautiful and our group had a wonderful time in the springs. As far as the house was concerned, I will start with a positive. We loved the dining table with the center lazy susan. We were all quite disappointed with the rest of the house. It wasn’t very clean and the house needs maintenance and updating. Most of the pots and pans were put away dirty so we had to scrub them all. The oven and fridges had old food drips in it. The cabinets were in disarray. The pool table was unusable with the felt coming off (we tried to brush the dirt off it) and no tips on the pool sticks. Everything was worn out and un-maintained. Cushions were dirty. Shower head sprayed in all directions, towels were musty smelling, the decor looked like it was from a yard sale. Overall, just uncomfortable. The worst part is that the house has german cockroaches living in the kitchen. We would open a cabinet and they would scatter. One of our friends with us owns an exterminating company, so he was knowledgeable of the issue. Some of us wanted to leave after seeing that, but we decided to spend most of out time outside and just stick it out. All of us that stayed are business owners and we are happy to pay for clean, comfortable decent spaces, but we never expected such an unkept environment. As guests, we are being truthful of our experience.

Great property exceptional amenities!

The pool table was almost in constant use and most of our guests didn't seem to care the river was fridged. My son set up a volleyball net across the little estuary and the rope swing was enjoyed by even some of the adults. We brought jet skis and extra tubes and spent many hours on the river without the need to go to any of the parks for our water entertainment. Fishing from the kayaks and/or paddle boards was excellent. Adequate kitchen and comfortable sleeping for our 15 mostly adults. Thought maybe the limited bathrooms might be a problem, but we managed nicely. Don't miss this great opportunity if you're looking for a nice house on the river.

Excellent 4th of July Weekend on the Rainbow

We rented this lovely home with 3 other couples for the July 4th weekend and enjoyed our stay very much. Although we brought our pontoon boat, we spent most of the time on the back deck or floating in the river behind the house. We used the host's kayaks and paddle boards for an up close look at the wildlife along the river. Amber is an exceptional host and we have already booked our trip for next year at this great home.
