Holiday rentals with a kayak in Lake Rousseau

Enjoyed my stay. Close to outdoor activities that I came for. Nice area with everything I needed, even had a boat dealer in town. Something I don't have at home.

Great place to stay. We had lots of fun using the kayaks and paddle boards. The view of the river is awesome and relaxing while watching all the people tubing, kayaking, and boating up and down. The fire pit was great to make a fire at night. The kitchen had everything we needed and the entire home was very clean. The loft area stayed a little warm so my kids did not want to sleep up there. We had clean music playing on the dock, which people on the river seemed to enjoy too, but the neighbor gave us a dirty look and gesture - no issues otherwise. Overall a great place to spend a few days.

We had an excellent stay at Andres' place. The house was wonderful – plenty spacious for two families and our kids (11 year olds) who loved playing in the pool and playing all the games the house had to offer: ping ping, corn hole, chess, etc. Having access to the kayaks to explore Rainbow River (which was a short drive away)was awesome. We would love to come back.

Steven and friends made my children and myself feel like we were home, so very kind and accommodating! He set the bar high! This was our first experience outside of VRBO! And cannot wait to stay at this beautiful home/area soon enough! Thankyou @@

The house was great and spacious. Perfect for our Rainbow Springs getaway. The only thing that was a bit deceiving was the fact that the river access was a 15-20 minute walk from the house itself. The pictures made it look like the river access was in the backyard, which is what I was expecting. Other than that it was a perfect location to visit Rainbow Springs State Park. And then the next day, we drove about an hour to Silver Springs State Park, which was absolutely beautiful and worth the drive. FYI - Rainbow Springs you can swim, but Silver Spring you can't. The house was very clean and peaceful. A great place to book if you want to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city!

This was one of the best stays we’ve had in Dunnellon thus far. Big backyard and a short, but fun boat ride to get to rainbow Springs. We kept our 17 foot Key West docked behind the house for the weekend without problem. It is shallow when you’re approaching the dock but once you’re out in the main channel, it’s no problem. George was extremely responsive with any questions I had. There’s a local boat ramp down the street that is literally a 10 minute walk from the house so you have the ability to launch your boat, dock it, and then walk back to pick up truck and trailer to park it back at the house for the weekend. (Local Boat ramp parking is tight.)

Our recent stay was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we booked, the hosts were incredibly attentive and accommodating. Their flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile truly made our trip memorable. We highly recommend this property and these wonderful hosts to anyone looking for a memorable vacation experience

Very peaceful and relaxing. Right on a canal. Hot tub was spotless. Beds were clean.

Family of 5 (3 kids) and two dogs from VA. Felt the house was perfect with a great yard and cool trees. The dogs didn’t need leashed and could be at ease with pool access being safe. (My dogs can’t swim) The sheets were real cotton (this means a lot) and the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of bedding and pillow options. Kitchen had the basics to cook meals which was easier. The house had everything we needed to have a great vacation other than food to eat. Close to everything we wanted to do. A great trail that was not a commercialized walk where we saw armadillos, manatees, an alligator, bald eagles, snakes and we could hear two owls talking. It was perfection. The swing out back was a nice peaceful touch and I really appreciated the grill. We saw crystal clear water at three sisters while kayaking as well as dolphins at sunset. We took a boat cruise to an island and found more shells I’ve seen in my life. I’d come back again and again. No hoopla where tons of people were.

Cheryl was very nice, responsive, and her thorough instructions were very helpful. Most important to me, the house was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utencils, and the bedding was very nice. We all had a lovely time fishing on the dock, kayking, and boating down the river. We explored Homosassa Springs, Rainbow Springs and several other Florida attractions. The whole family had a lot of fun!

Highly recommend the apartment, nice backyard directly at the water. Beautifully renovated bath- and bedrooms. Well-equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook your own meals. Hosts were reachable and very supportive. Perfect for a weekend-escape into the green!

AMAZING. Great hosts, great place! I stayed here by myself and it was heaven on earth. I am a nature lover and this exceeded my expectations. The house & the property are stunning. The house is a lovely mix of tasteful tropical & Victorian decor. The outside is like being in the garden of Eden. So private & peaceful. I was able to meet manatees my first evening taking the kayak out; they were as interested in me as I was in them and came all around me and the baby came up to say hi. It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. It was just me and the manatees not another human in sight. The next morning I paddled out again and saw otters playing. I saw turtles, lizards, many beautiful birds, including green heron, great blue heron, and an owl. Coffee in the morning on the patio & a fire at night under the canopy of trees. Close to so much to do- springs, beach, nature parks, but by far the best was being able to paddle pretty much out the back door. I’m so glad I stayed here!!!

My boyfriend and I stayed for the weekend for his birthday. It was exactly what we were looking for. Out in the woods, secluded from the everyday hustle and bustle and quiet and literally right on the river. Early morning coffee was a treat with the birds and let’s not forget the alligators! Definitely will come again and again.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at William’s place. He was incredibly responsive and helpful both before and during our visit. The house was cozy, we felt right at home, and the dock was the absolute perfect spot to sit and listen to all the birds. Being able to use the kayaks and easily slip out onto the water was a fantastic bonus. Highly recommend and we would absolutely love to return someday!

Enjoyed the stay, the wildlife, and seeing the sandhill cranes every morning and evening was a plus.

Had a great time at Laurie's cabin. Really enjoyed the fire pit, foosball table and my husband loved playing guitar hero. Added bonus was the kids got to see lighting bugs for the first time. Beds were comfy, cabin was clean and well stocked. Close proximity to great trails and Rainbow Springs. Not quite as private as I anticipated from the pictures as there was a tiny home right next to us and the canal was behind owner's home and not the cabin as I mistakenly thought. Overall still a great stay. Owner was very sweet and let the kids feed the chickens, gave our a pup a treat and left a 'smores kit for us to enjoy.

The tranquility of the back deck was incedible. The location was perfect for visiting our friends at Chassahowitzka Campground (1.5 miles away). I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to explore the area, especially the manatees and the three or seven sisters springs. One extra bonus was watching the albino squirrel from the front porch in the morning. We had an issue and were very responsive.

This place provided us with exactly what we were looking for. it was very quiet and secluded and felt like home. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed and we're very responsive and communicative before and throughout our stay. we absolutely loved this little getaway and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a little peace and quiet away from the rest of the world!

Perfect nature getaway! My husband and I rented the space for an extended weekend that was dog-friendly so we could bring out two aussies. Richard and Leslie's space was perfect for our needs and included a private yard for the dogs to run around in. It was close to all the river access points as well as any grocery shops, restaurants, etc.. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials for us to make a few meals in without having to purchase bulky condiments or seasonings. The space even includes access to use their paddleboards and kayaks, however, we choose to opt for a canoe rental so we had plenty of space to take the dogs out on the river with us. We really enjoyed exploring a new part of Florida and were able to check off another State Park from our list after visiting Rainbow Springs State Park.

Slice of Heaven! Beautiful surroundings! Right on the lake with a dock! Everything was Perfect down the details! Hope to stay again!

excellent cabin and quick response time with questions. would definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing. This was everything I could have wanted in a stay, Timothy was awesome and friendly and the property is probably the best I’ve ever stayed at. Hopefully anybody staying here in the future gets the same joy I did out of it. Take care

Leslie was very responsive. The setting is private and the covered deck on rainy days wonderful to relax on. Leslie provided much appreciated extras like healthier cooking pans, sharp knives, a cutting board, and a medicine kit which are not usually provided in my years of experience. A word of caution apparently regarding airbnb policy. Check for potential price changes on your reservation Even IF you are subtracting something!!! Because I didn’t end up taking my dog with (deleting the pet fee), it changed my reservation and a $142.20 increase (county tax fee) was added! 😱
