This small, secluded apartment complex is at the end of the road and provides you a wonderful vacation atmosphere, allowing you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and get in touch with nature. You’ll enjoy access to 300' of shoreline, a dock, & boat ramp. We welcome leashed furry friends at no additional cost!

The space
Professor Rousseau had you in mind when designing your space. He required an electronic lock which makes access available anytime you choose after 4:00 pm. He insisted on comfortable furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen, a coffee bar station, top-notch linens, and on-site laundry facilities to name a few. While Professor Rousseau was away on his most recent adventure, we converted his carport to a fabulous outdoor retreat complete with ample seating for all guests, a quaint fire pit, and a grill. We have provided you with many seating options to include Adirondack chairs surrounding the second wood-burning fire pit, dockside seating, plus your very own private seating area right outside your back door. Bring your boat, canoe, kayak, fishing equipment, binoculars, and camera! The sights and sounds are unlike anything you have experienced by both day and night. All the wildlife here loves Professor Rousseau and you, his special guest!

THE DIFFERENCE
Professor Rousseau has a deep and personal commitment to you as his Guest to provide the highest standard of cleanliness. We will spend several hours between each stay to thoroughly clean and sanitize all surfaces plus wash every item that could have been touched or used by the Guest before you.

Guest access
We have plenty of off-street parking for your vehicle, boats, or trailers.

We have a special parking area for boats and trailers. Please let us know if you will be bringing one so we may direct you to the parking area.

Neighbourhood highlights

Crystal River is best known as one of the few places in the world that vacationers may swim alongside the manatees in person during their winter refuge at Hunter Springs Park and Kings Bay. Hunter Springs Park features a sandy beach for swimmers, a kayak launch, a picnic area, plus a boardwalk for viewing manatees. Kings Bay also has a kayak launch, fishing pier, and three waterfront restaurants serving seafood, often fresh off the boat from the two waterfront fishing operations. Within a few blocks of these two iconic manatee hangouts are several incredible restaurants, cafes, and unique shopping venues on North Citrus Avenue. One of Professor Rousseau’s favorite places to shop and dine is Amy’s.

Another City close by is Dunnellon. For those of you that have decided to launch your boat and travel to the Withlacoochee and Rainbow Rivers, two notable restaurants are the Blue Gator Tiki Bar and Swampy’s. Leave early to grab your boat parking spot during busy seasons!
