The house is spectacular. Relaxing and nestled into a quiet part of the river. Fully stocked kitchen with utensils and everything needed for a long or short stay. The property owner was very attentive and responsive. We had 5 couples staying on property and we all had ample room.

The house is very clean and spacious. Perfect spot on the river, about a 40 min float down to swampies. There are multiple kayaks and paddle boards for use.

I think this is the most beautiful spot along the Rainbow River. A few feet upstream the river splits to go around 2 islands. the branch that runs by the house is shallow (up to waist deep), clear and almost magical. Its a great place for young swimmers, especially if they want to go to the private island or learn to paddle board or kayak. The dock and ladder allow even us 84 year olds to easily hop into a kayak and paddle up or downstream. Being a prime spot on the river, the house was built in the early days and as a result was not or is not easily remodelled. The owners have certainly have tried. The owners are friendly, gracious, and prompt to solve your problems. We had a delightful February.

We absolutely loved the house! There was plenty of room for our family. We liked that the water was steps away from the back door. During our trip the water level off the back deck was about waist high. We were able to hang in the water and enjoy each other and the surroundings. My son loved paddle board around the private island. All and all, we had an amazing time.

This property was such a great place to stay with kids! The living area was spacious, with plenty of seating for everyone. There were plenty of bedrooms, clean and newly remodeled bathrooms, a large, well-appointed kitchen and a beautiful view of the river.The outdoor seating was awesome, with numerous seating areas and great view of the river. The Rainbow river did not disappoint. The water is crystal clear and delightfully cool. We saw otters, gators, turtles and numerous water birds. The kayaks and paddleboards provided by the owners were very convenient!The house is perfect for large family gatherings and the owners were very helpful with quick communication and great tips for enjoying the area.
