Rückzugsort am Withlachoochee River - Minuten vom Rainbow entfernt

The home sits on the historic, 141 mile long Withlacoochee River that runs along some of Florida's most breathtaking scenery that can be traveled by boat, kayak or personal watercraft and is only minutes away from the incredible spring fed waters of the Rainbow River. The area is also surrounded by incredible trail systems/state forests for nature lovers and hikers alike with the paved, 46 mile long Withlacoochee State Trail for biking enthusiasts only minutes away.

What we love most about our river retreat is that it is our escape from the hustle and bustle of modern suburban life yet is only minutes away from the many conveniences we need and enjoy. We enjoy relaxing and watching the nature around us while still being close to grocery, restaurants and towns like Dunnellon and Crystal River/Ocean nearby.

It is also easy to get to, approximately 1.5 hours from the Orlando area, 30 minutes from Ocala, 30 minutes from Crystal River/Ocean and 45 minutes from Gainesville. The drive is a quick 20 minutes off of I-75 as your route will take you along a couple country roads until you hit the area where roads like Tall Pines Trail, Big Bass Trail and Wise Owl Point welcome you to the simple life of Florida.

For Kayakers, boaters (fishermen) and personal watercraft enthusiasts, enjoy your own private launch for easy in and out of the water on property.

By day we enjoy the beauty of the river. We float it, we fish it or we simply watch the river run by and in doing so we always seem to take in some of the best nature viewing in all of Florida. From otters, to bass, to hawks, eagles, deer, turkey and of course the occasional gator, we always feel refreshed as we take in all of the serenity that nature has to offer. If you haven’t experienced the float down the Rainbow River put that on your list of things to do. Enjoy lunch and drinks at Swampy’s when done with your float.

As night falls, relax and fire up the grill and enjoy the fire pit while enjoying the stories of the day with family and friends. Listen closely and you'll hear the sounds of nature's symphony as you sit back and get lost in the peace and tranquility that will await and surround you.

When ready to call it an evening, retire to a very comfortable home with large and cozy bedrooms, all fitted with smart TV’s with modern and updated finishes to include a floor to ceiling mantle/fireplace in the main living room, a pool table/dining room table combo and anything else needed to have a very comfortable stay in our River Home.

Don’t forget to check out ole’ Stumpnockers and Swampy’s for drinks and lunch/dinner and Red’s for breakfast.

Enjoy!
