This was our best vacation ever!! What a blessing for G&C to share their wonderful home for families like ours to enjoy. Plenty of room for everyone plus we got to bring our dogs--yay!! The privacy of the location and the double deck made this a dream vacation for all of our young and young adult children. We will definitely be back to this spot!

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.

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.

Great Week on Rainbow River

We spent the week swimming at the dock, kayaking around the Rainbow River in the provided kayaks and canoes (4 single kayaks, 2 double kayaks, and 1 canoe), and exploring both the Rainbow River and the nearby Crystal River. The house came with everything needed to have a good time on the river. The host called the night of check in just to make sure everything was OK and to give tips on the area and how to have a good time while there. I would definitely choose this place again.
