We absolutely loved the house! There was plenty of room for our family. We liked that the water was steps away from the back door. During our trip the water level off the back deck was about waist high. We were able to hang in the water and enjoy each other and the surroundings. My son loved paddle board around the private island. All and all, we had an amazing time.

This property was such a great place to stay with kids! The living area was spacious, with plenty of seating for everyone. There were plenty of bedrooms, clean and newly remodeled bathrooms, a large, well-appointed kitchen and a beautiful view of the river.The outdoor seating was awesome, with numerous seating areas and great view of the river. The Rainbow river did not disappoint. The water is crystal clear and delightfully cool. We saw otters, gators, turtles and numerous water birds. The kayaks and paddleboards provided by the owners were very convenient!The house is perfect for large family gatherings and the owners were very helpful with quick communication and great tips for enjoying the area.

Perfect Piece of Paradise

Perfect location on the river. This was our third stay at the property and have always loved it. Shallow area outside the house is perfect for kids of all ages. We had three families with kids ranging in age from 3-8 and there was more than enough space for everyone. We enjoyed all the water toys available.

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.

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!
