The scenic Withlacoochee River Pet-friendly Bird House

Rent this 1 Bedroom 1 Bath Dunnellon Seasonal Waterfront Rental in Tranquil Old Florida. The Birdhouse is located in Dunnellon Florida on the scenic Withlacoochee River. The entire house is a 720 sq foot open space, newly renovated interior with a queen-sized bed in the bedroom, a huge porch with screen to keep the bugs out, completely renovated kitchen with microwave and all the little amenities, smartTV in the living room area; fully air-conditioned WiFi and nest doorbell.
From the dock you can see the confluence of the Rainbow and Withlacoochee Rivers. The Dunnellon Birdhouse location is 15 minutes from Ocala Fl and Crystal River Fl. There's loadz of free space at the back for boat parking.

The Birdhouse is ideal for fishing or boating because you will have quick access to the Rainbow River, Withlacoochee River and Lake Rousseau without launching your boat. Fishing from the private dock has proven effective for guests with nice catches of Bass and Catfish. Remember Relaxing in the hammock is always an option after kayaking cycling or sightseeing

Scenic and Cozy stay on the river

Driving into the property feels like entering a hidden garden! We felt welcomed and it was fun discovering all the little touches and details of this little house and beautiful property! Couldn’t ask for more and we hope to come back when we can use the kayaks and the KPHole passes!

Stacation to Rainbow Springs

The Bird House Cottage was the perfect nest for our visit to Rainbow Springs area. Dana has done a wonderful thinking ahead of everything a guest might enjoy. The cottage is beautifully and privately situated on the Withlacoochee River. We can't wait for our next visit.
