Family Fun

We wanted a place to gather as a family and enjoy time. We got that in Aces! Some family came and went, some stayed. We All enjoyed our time. There were games and puzzles provided for night time entertainment (tournaments, we’re competitive in a good way), a fire pit for s’mores and hotdogs and such. Days were filled with fishing, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding (equipment provided). Of course, the platform from the top deck was in constant use.The wildlife was excellent! Lots of different birds, fish, gators and the otter that fished the lagoon as we watched was really cool. We’re Floridians and outdoor enthusiasts, so we know to be respectful of our environment as well as aware of surroundings. The experience was everything we wanted. You will find the home comfortable and well equipped. If you are looking for fancy, this ain’t it, but it IS exactly what casual river life feels like.

Perfect and relaxing River getaway

The pictures reflect the property perfectly. The dock and water is where we spent the majority of our time. The double deck created amazing views and the perfect jumping platform, while the lower deck stayed cool and in the shade. It was so relaxing and AMAZING! The only cleanliness issue was the master shower curtain which was really moldy. It is Florida so mold is to be expected. It is probably time to replace that one though.

Even better than it looks online

We had a great time, kayaked every day. We saw river otters, rurtles, tons of birds and fish. The house had plenty of room for 8 and the yard and dock were amazing! We will definitely be back. Tom and Kelly were very friendly and responsive to our questions. The owners thoughtfully provide a ton of information if you're not familiar with the area.

Relaxing

Enjoy being out on the covered deck during rainstorms. The property landscaping gave privacy and allowed our group to relax alone or with others as desired. No need to turn on the television as just looking out the windows or sitting on the decks provided live entertainment with the wildlife all around. Easy walking distance to a great donut shop and the historic downtown. Don Peppe was one of the best Mexican Restaurants any of us have ever eaten at just 5 minutes from the house. The Singing River Tour was worth it. Great local guys with in depth knowledge of the area.

Great location! Wonderful info and communication!

My daughter and I stayed for a week, along with 2 other mother/daughter pairs for a "spring" break getaway. Dunnellon is a great little town, convenient to several springs for day trips/activities. We all loved the private dock and access to the water!

Big Group Vacation

We had a wonderful stay here and what continues to be true is that the view makes up for anything that the property might not have. Would recommend if planning any family trips or getaways to the river, nothing beats waking up and getting on a kayak to go down the river.

An incredible getaway

I had the best time staying at this beautiful property for my 30th birthday with my closest friends. There's so much to say about this home, but I'll just go over my favorites. The location is just perfect, private but not in the middle of nowhere. There was plenty of parking to accommodate everyone. The house itself is spacious with plenty of speaking and plenty of bathrooms. The living room and kitchen are very open so we could still enjoy taking part in games even when we cooked. The backyard is just everything and more. The upper and lower decks are perfect for all kinds of weather. We spent almost all our time outside, we were jumping off the top deck into the gorgeous crystal clear water, enjoying all the seating at the bonfire, and lounging on the top deck just enjoying the view and beautiful weather. Breakfast & coffee on the top deck was probably my favorite part of this whole trip. Finally, they provide lots of kayaks and canoes and it is incredibly easy to get them in and out of the water. They also had floats and a grill that we enjoyed. I can't say enough about this home. It was exactly the relaxing weekend my friends and I hoped we hoped for and more.

Awesome River Vacation

We loved this house. Absolutely amazing! We spent 3 days enjoying Rainbow Springs River right out back every day. All the beds were very comfortable. The house had all the kitchen utensils and cook where you will need. The views were awesome. Very quiet area. Owner is awesome to talk to answered all our questions and gave us all kinds of tips. It was a well deserved couple of days of pure relaxation and fun! We are already booking again next May. The Kovacs Family

This property was a dream. Cozy, clean and comfortable. It had everything you needed for a river getaway.

Such a delight

I stayed here with friends for my 42nd birthday and it was the perfect choice. The house is lovely but my favorite was sitting on the dock and kayaking around. I love that the house is tucked away from all the river traffic and just a bit past the main pull off area, so it made it quite serene. We fed the fish from the dock. I kayaked a couple times around the bend to where the Rainbow and Chatahoochee rivers converge, which is so cool to see how is goes from clear to not at all. As a group we kayaked up the river a good bit and then back to the house. We saw soooo many turtles and small, very chill gators. And I watched an otter hunting for breakfast and then dinner quite close to the house which made me so happy.

Loved it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the Rainbow River. From the porch and kayaks we saw sandhill crane adults and babies, river otters, osprey, fish, turtles, other cranes, even a small alligator! We loved jumping off the dock and then relaxing on it just watching the wildlife. Manatees were only 23 minutes away on the Crystal River and amazing. The river boat tour was also a hit. My adult sons canoed up the river a bit and then snorkeled back to the house!

Love Love Love this Home!!!

We are 2nd time returning guests at this property and definitely won’t be the last, already making plans for 3rd time to make more memories at this home. First, the home is equipped with EVERYTHING you need for you and your family, its a home away from home; kitchen is equipped with all the tools needed and thensome, the bathrooms, the bedrooms, family room, simply comfortable and well kept. The homeowner recently made a few upgrades, which was nice and noticeable. The firepit is well kept and both the bottom and top outdoor decks are amazing. Which happens to be our favorite part of visiting Rainbow Springs/Dunnellon. We have 3 boys and stayed with 2 additional families with kids/teens as well and the jumping off the deck into the beautiful and fresh river is absolutely an experience like no other, we look forward to it every year. Secondly and just as important is the homeowner - Gilbert. He is very responsive, kind and seems to care very much about this property and it shows. Thank you Gilbert!!! Expect us in 2024 again!! No other property comes close to this one; its location on the river, the homes accommodations, cleanliness, comfort, neighborhood, the available kayaks and canoes at the home and they are very well maintained, the decks and all that jumping off of them into the river and enjoying the early morning rise and the sundown, and of course - Gilbert (the owner). Don’t take my word for it, experience it for yourself, you won’t regret it!
