Carla and her family were fabulous hosts. They were very accommodating and kind. We enjoyed staying at the marina aboard the private sailboat. Very clean and private. Perfect for a couple! would stay again.

The entire experience was awesome. Carla and her family were helpful and very friendly. If we had any questions or needed anything they were available, day and night! The sailboat was an experience, one that we are so glad we tried. The boat was decorated, air conditioned, and interesting. We ate breakfast every morning on the top deck, and one morning saw a manatee! We plan to return.

We brought our grandchildren 11 and 13 and my daughter. We were hoping to go scalloping and Carla was amazing and helped with all the arrangements; unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans and we were rained out. None the less we all had a great time. The sailboat is relaxing and the area is beautiful. Carla and her family were amazing. Everything was as advertised. Our hosts were attentive and helpful. Enjoyed sitting with them and learning about the local area. So many things to do. But if you want to just relax and do nothing you can do that too. Looking forward to returning for many more adventures.

This place was perfect. Secluded, yet enough around to go and do things. We had had amazing stay. And Carla and her crew were just perfect. Everything is as described and better! Cannot wait to stay again

Freon Board, the sailboat, isn't just a place to stay but an experience. To wake up in the morning with the quiet of the river and a beautiful sunrise is special indeed. The cabin is comfortable and cozy with all the amenities. We hope to visit Carla and her family again. Thanks for everything, we really enjoyed our stay.

We had such a great time staying on the boat! Summer camping in Florida can be miserable. However, with AC, TV, comfy dry beds and cold refrigerator, it was actually nice to hide from the mid-day heat and storms. Tip...we rented the tent site right in front of boat and put up screen room. We were able to cook and eat by fire pit and had our own little island! The bathrooms at the campground were super clean and we used those mostly. However, the boat bathroom was convenient for middle of the night and the large mirror. It is a boat and tides do affect it's position to dock. Be aware that you do need to be able to climb....but it is worth it! HINT... if you have a large group, rent the nice RV Carla has also. Would be a great family weekend!!!

I'm a business traveler and I look for special weekend adventures along my way. This was the best! What a cool place to stay, I loved every minute of it.! I stayed in the marina and it was very quiet and relaxing. I had everything I needed. Carla, her husband and son were very gracious hosts. Five star*****

This place was cozy and quiet. We saw manatees in the morning and loved having netflix on the tv in the boat at nite. The marina is in excellent condition, check-in was easy, and the family that runs the place was super nice and gave good recommendations.

Dave me recibió en su lugar y me llevó a través de un tutorial completo, explicando todas las comodidades e incluso nos prestó un kayak que nosotros llevamos a cabo en el hermoso río Withlacoochee ese fin de semana. Gracias Dave y Ursula para una gran escapada de fin de semana!

Check in was a breeze, Dave meet us there, he showed us around the house, answered all our questions. The space is huge, large bedrooms. Perfect for families or two couples.

A great Airbnb find. Beautiful view! I love trees and you can't see the neighbors through the beautiful Florida trees. They have floor to ceiling windows that look out onto the river. Which also lets in all that natural light. Their kitchen is fully stocked for cooking and they even have a little wine fridge! There's a large bathtub in the master bath for soaking your worries away, and the master bedroom is huge! A very family-friendly home. Lots of space to sleep and play. If you have a boat, bring it. They are right next to a boat ramp. Lots of people taking nature walks and riding bike. Very inviting. Dave and Ursula were wonderful hosts. Very kind and willing to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend this Airbnb home.

What a perfect spot for our family's scalloping trip! You are literally right across the street from the boat ramp - which I thought was going to be too small for our boat (21' Sea Hunt) but not a problem at all - the Coast Guard guys use it for their boats and actually saw some larger boats launch there too. The boat trip out to the Gulf was just gorgeous, Roseate Spoonbills & Woodstorks use the old cypress trees for a rookery, we saw gators, turtles, all sorts of herons, dolphins, and TONS of scallops! The beds were comfortable, the views were so tranquil - it is tucked into a pocket of wetlands with cypress trees on either side, the entire place was clean with a bit of a retro vibe. In fact, the whole town seemed just like a page out of old Florida. Our 2 boys were with us - age(URL HIDDEN)they LOVED it! However, I would probably not suggest this place for infants and toddlers.

Dave y Ursula hizo por encima y más allá! Ellos fueron excelentes anfitriones! Nos encantó nuestra estancia! Nuestro viaje giraba en torno a nadar con los manatíes y fue el lugar perfecto! Sin duda me alojaría de nuevo!

Great location, close to Crystal River, Homosassa and other natural parks. Their tips about where to get local food, nature flora and fauna were valuable for first time visitors. They have a comfortable home where we spent quality time with family.

Dave & Ursula's place was AWESOME!! It had a beautiful view through floor to ceiling windows of the canal, super clean and comfy, laundry was helpful, lots of household items that saved you from packing or buying them, very friendly, great communication, would rent again in a heartbeat!

Dave and Ursula were lovely and accommodating hosts. They met me at the house and explained everything in detail. Since I was traveling alone they offered to show me some of their favorite sites. Wow, what an incredible area and fabulous location! I rented a canoe from them, and since the house is right across from the dock, I could take canoe trips to the sites they recommended. I enjoyed every part of my stay! I finally have found a place I can relax and wind down from my stressful job. Mid-November was perfect weather - not too hot and not too cold. My only complaint is that I couldn't stay longer. The owls and frogs made wonderful night music. The bird watching on the river was incredible. At one point there were four pileated woodpeckers in sight. I also saw my first roseate spoonbill. The house was very clean and comfortable, and the bed was also comfortable. I didn't cook, but the kitchen had everything I would have needed. Dave and Ursula were the nicest hosts and they shared their local knowledge and passion for the river. Thank you Dave and Ursula! I will be back!

We had fun sitting on the deck and taking out the kayaks. Great house, great location on the canal near the bay.

The description of James' home was perfect. The house was more than what we expected as well as the view and access to the water. We went there for peace and quiet and that is what we got! James was also very accommodating to us as guests with a special request that we had. If you love seeing the "real" Florida, this is it. Right down to the alligators! Thanks again, James, for a lovely experience.

Great weekend getaway. Excellent communication. Very clean. Convenient location. We'd love to come back.

Hatte eine fantastische Zeit in diesem Haus. Der Ort ist toll und die Gegend macht viel Spaß. In der Nähe des Golfs, aber abgelegener und abseits der geschäftigen Gegend von Crystal River. Das Haus ist sehr sauber und aktualisiert. Wenn Sie schauen, um in der Nähe des Golfes zu bleiben, um zu fischen oder zu scalloping dieses Haus ist eine gute Wahl. Würde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

This was a very nice place to stay. It's very quiet out there and peaceful. Taking the kayaks out is a must, it's a very beautiful river and we really enjoyed it. The house is really nice and updated. It has a nice bathroom and shower and the kitchen is beautiful. If you love to cook and plan on cooking alot you may want to bring extra pots and pans. They provide the basics. Fishing from the dock is fun so make sure you bring fishing poles and plenty of bug spray for mosquitoes. It was a great family trip for us and there is plenty to do. There is a nice beach we went to called Fort Island beach and we also did Rainbow river in dunnellon which was alot of fun as well.

Jim's house in Yankeetown, on the beautiful "Nature Coast" was all we expected and more. The home was in a quiet neighborhood, very easy to navigate. We were able to park our boat on the drive and store our paddleboards on the side yard. The house appeared to be newly remodeled with very nice finishes and comfortable furniture. Jim left us plenty of bottled water as well as ice. We truly appreciated that. The kitchen was fully equip with anything you need to cook a meal. We were able to enjoy Crystal River, Weeki Wachee Springs and used the boat ramp at the end of the main road for a fishing excursion in the Gulf. This is a beautiful area of Florida and being able to stay at Jim's place made it more pleasurable.

Great place! Enjoyed the kayaks! Public boat ramp is close and convenient. House is beautiful and has most everything. Quiet neighborhood. Would highly recommend!

The pictures do not do this place justice - it was an awesome stay! The house is beautiful!! Quiet street - perfect for relaxing. Ideal location for fishing, boating & scalloping (that's what we did all weekend). Be sure to bring bug spray & sun screen in the summer. We hope to come back in the winter season to fish more!! Jim is a great host - keeps in touch & easy to reach. Thank you Jim!

Wonderful place with an outstanding view. We couldnt have asked for more from our first airbnb trip. Host (Amber) was great and the entire process was super easy. House was clean, comfy and well stocked for all our needs. We will return.

I chose this location for peace, tranquility and relaxation. It definitely fit the bill. I was truly impressed overall. The host was kind, very responsive and assisted me with my needs. This makes a huge difference when dealing with Airbnb hosts, because I can attest that they are all not so friendly. The moment you arrive at this country home, you are already making plans to come back. It's that nice!! I loved the screened in rear deck with view of water and boathouse. There were even curtains on the deck for added privacy. The elevator is a huge bonus when carrying groceries or bags up. The home is very well kept and extremely well equipped. The hosts thought of everything. And I appreciated that. The living room is awesome and the master bedroom is nice and inviting. Parking under the house is extremely convenient, and allows for a few cars. The house is on a very quiet street shared with well kept homes. Crystal River is about a 15 minutes ride. I found a Publix supermarket and a CVS pharmacy in Crystal River among many other shops, stores and local restaurants. There is no question that I will definitely be back to stay again. I'm already making plans.... I thank this host for making this one of my best Airbnb experiences and I hope they keep up the great work!!

The house is everything you could need or want! Excellent beds, plenty of hot water, great kitchen and screened in porch. I was delighted to see manatees and a dolphin in the canal!! Great communication from hosts, easy check in and out. Thank you!

Amber's place is a clean, comfortable waterfront home in a sleepy coastal town. Short distance from the beautiful gulf.

Very nice house in a quiet location. Everything we needed and more. Huge 65 inch 3d tv in the living room. It was great having a canoe available to explore the area.

The house was just as described and perfect for our needs. Unfortunately we only spent one night so we didn't get to enjoy the water. We would definitely return!

很棒

It was a great place. Rylan was real helpful

Kimberlee met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the room. She was very pleasant and possessed an abundance of knowledge about the area. The room was clean and unique. It was obvious that Kimberlee truly embraced being a host and creating an intimate getaway for travelers. It is conveniently located and easy to find. We enjoyed our privacy and seclusion, and were able to slip away from our busy lives and slow down, reconnecting with all the nature around us. We would definitely come and stay again and heartily recommend Kimberlee and the World Traveler's Suite!

We had a very pleasant stay with 3 overnights at Magnolia House. Kimberlee is very friendly and helpful with useful information. A minor important thing is that the room has no aircondition, but fans, related the fact it is a historical house. Our best recommandations.

Kimberlee has an amazing eye for design and a gracious host. She thought of little details like having our favorite coffee sugars. Thoughtfully prepared lists of things to do in the area and contact numbers with directions. We took her up on several suggestions. The room is beautiful and water outside the backdoor in a quite neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Notre hôte charmant, Kimberlee était très serviable et accommodante pour nous. Sa communication a été fantastique et a aidé à déstresser notre arrivée tardive. Magnolia House est un get-a-way belle et romantique. Niché dans un légèrement boisé "Old Florida" mise sur la rivière est un paramètre que les livres sont créés à partir. Kimberlee avait délicieuses gâteries qui nous attend à l'arrivée et un fridged approvisionné avec d'autres goodies La salle de bain était grande et offrait merveilleux d'autres produits aussi, avec des serviettes de luxe. Le foyer électrique non seulement pris le froid hors, mais il a ajouté à l'ambiance romantique. De plus, nous avons utilisé le micro-ondes fourni pour faire du pop-corn que Kimberlee fourni. Je recommande vivement le Magnolia House pour tous ceux qui cherchent une charmante, belle et romantique get-a-way. Kimberlee vous fera vous sentir les bienvenus. Nous serons heureux de revenir sur notre prochain voyage à Crystal River.

We had a wonderful 4-day stay at Magnolia house. Kimberlee was very accommodating and gracious. Our room was lovely with lots of attention to special touches like fresh pastries, a bowl of fresh fruit, and OJ in the fridge. It was especially appreciated that our hostess obtained two bicycles for us! We were able to explore the delightful community of Yankeetown and get some good exercise at the same time. I would definitely return to Magnolia House and also recommend it to friends and family.

Kate and I stayed two nights with Kimberlee in the World Traveler suite at the Magnolia House and it was a genuine pleasure to be at her home and also to visit with her. We texted her several times on our arrival date to push back our ETA and she was very gracious and accommodating about it. The room is spacious, well appointed and adventurously decorated and VERY clean. She had a cheese danish waiting for us on our arrival and the fridge was stocked with a selection of fruit yogurts, bottled water, milk and chocolate milk, and cream. A coffeemaker, good coffee, filters and more are available in room for com The Magnolia House has direct waterfront access onto the Withlacoochee River. Kimberlee let us park our kayak trailer in the carport which made us more comfortable when we were away for a while. She also recommended a local restaurant that was very good and reasonably priced. The property is convenient to Crystal River, Homosassa Springs, and less than an hour from Cedar Key. We had a fun and relaxing stay and it was very romantic. Kimberlee toured us through her other accommodation, the "Spice Merchants's Bedchamber" unofficially a.k.a the Pirate Suite...what a cool room; you'll have to see the walk in shower to believe it! We had a very nice time and will likely come back here; if we do we'd stay again in either room. Thank you, Kimberlee, for your hospitality!

Kimberley was bar none, the best host we have since using airbnb the past 3 years. she has a beautiful apartment, and has thought of everything. everything is provided, breakfast, fridge , freezer, even bug spray. she went out of her way for us.

We had incredible pleaseure to stay in Kimberlee house. It is unique find in many ways: artistically decorated, remote, but very close to many activities you want to do in this area: swimming with manatees, walking in parks, fishing, staying on a beach, watching incredibly beautiful sunsets and just simply enjoying the property. Thank you for having us, Kimberlee!

What a wonderful experience! This was our first time using Airbnb. We were looking for a quiet place to spend a few days that would be a different experience from an impersonal hotel. What a great choice. Communicating with Phyllis was great from the beginning. She was responsive and wanted us to enjoy our vacation from the start. As soon as we pulled into the driveway, we were impressed with the property. It was very homey and inviting. When we went in, we were even more pleasantly surprised! It seemed as though every detail was thought out! It was very thoughtful and inviting! The house was very well decorated. Very cute. There was plenty of room. The dishes were laid out beautifully and there were pastries waiting with our welcome note. Although we brought everything we thought we would need, Phyllis had the home well stocked with all details thought of in case we forgot something or needed anything. The tiki bar area by the water was so nice to have. We also spent a lot of time sitting in the beautiful Florida room, looking at the water and the birds! Kimberlee (the property manager) introduced herself to us and made herself available for us if we needed anything. We were there for time alone and she also gave us our space. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a wonderful place to relax or enjoy the outdoors or both! Awesome experience. Can't say it enough!! :-)

Coquina Cottage was everything we hoped for: comfortable, charming, well-equipped in every way, and located on a very quiet street. Our hostess Kimberly was gracious, helpful and available to answer any questions we had. It was a 5 star stay.

Everything at the cottage was exactly as pictured. From the moment we walked in the door, we just kept saying "wow"! Phyllis has truly thought through everything in the cottage with the guest in mind in order to make you feel welcome- and that we were! The attention to detail made everything feel cozy from the first moment that we entered, and the fact that the cottage is well-stocked meant that we didn't have to rush out for groceries or anything. Kimberlee was there to greet us and let us and say hello and answer any questions we had. We were blown away by our wonderful stay and the fact that Phyllis and Kimberlee even assembled a crib for our little one with a cute blanket and bumper as well as a cute towel and even provided a booster seat. We would gladly stay here again and we highly recommend this property- it is by far the best we have stayed in through airbnb thus far. Thank you so much!

La Coquina Cottage est une maison joliment bien équipée. Nous sommes arrivés à l'expérience d'une grande partie de la beauté naturelle qui est Yankeetown et ses villes voisines. Nous reviendrons certainement.

There are not enough superlatives to describe our stay and experience. From initial contact with Phyllis up until we drove away, everything was perfect! Pictures online do not do the cottage justice. It was absolutely gorgeous. Everything we could possibly need was provided. And the welcome goodies and breakfast items and table full of information about the area were absolutely wonderful. We are already talking about returning next year. We found the location to be ideal. We were out during the day doing nature and manatee things and it was delightful to come home at night to our cottage on the quiet street by the canal. Everything was spotless, warm, and inviting.Kimberlee greeted us very shortly after our arrival to explain things and make sure we had everything we needed. She left both her home and cell number in case we had any questions. We are retired teachers, and this place deserves an A+! The outdoor space is as wonderful as the inside space too. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Wir kamen in einem hell erleuchteten Haus an, weihnachtliche Musik lief leise im Hintergrund, auf dem Bettstandein Kühler mit Champagner in der Küche waren unter einer Glocke Kuchen und Muffins zu finden, die Schale mit Obst quoll über und im Wohnzimmer stand ein wundervoll geschmückter Weihnachtsbaum. So etwas haben wir im Traum nicht erwartet. Das war schon außergewöhnlich. Das Cottage ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es sah alles so gut aus, wir haben uns fast nicht getraut irgendetwas zu verändern. Die Bilder können den Gesamteindruck nur eingeschränkt wiederspiegeln. Es ist in der Küche nahezu an alles gedacht, Salatsaucen, Butter Gewürze, Orangensaft, Milch alles und noch mehr stand uns zur Verfügung. Fahrräder, Warnwesten, Fahrradhelme und jede Menge informationen über die Umgebung, an alles wurde gedacht. Es war einfach unbeschreiblich. Schade das unsere Reise uns hier nur so kurz hat verweilen lassen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können es wärmstens weiter empfehlen. Ein unbedingtes Muss: Schnorchel mit den Manatees. Vielen Dank an Phyllis, Kimberley und Shawn, die diese Tage in dem liebevoll eingerichteten Cottage zu einer echten Erholung haben werden lassen.

The cottage was well stocked and comfortable. We felt welcomed from the moment we walked in the door. It was the perfect setting to celebrate our anniversary.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Coquina Cottage. Kimberlee was a wonderful host and gave us some wonderful suggestions on what to see, where to go, the works! We enjoyed visiting the many parks that were in the area: including The Withlacoochee Trail near the Cottage. You could even walk right from the Cottage if you are in shape! We also did a tour with Crystal River Kayaking which was, by far, the best and most environmental way to see the Manatees in Three Sister Springs. We enjoyed a lovely pontoon boat tour complete with history of the area that left from Issac Walton Lodge just a mile away from the cottage. River Adventures offered us a wonderful snorkeling with many Manatee sightings. The cottage itself is fully furnished with lovely decor. There were two bikes and games for pleasure, and a tiki bar out back. We saw Manatee swimming in the canal right behind the cottage. The only suggestion we had was that it would be nice to have kayaks on site, but there is a kayak shop in town that will rent you kayaks for $35 dollars for three days if you have a way to get them back to the cottage. But obviously you should make sure you are knowledgeable about kayaking and the tides, ect... The cottage is also about 15 mins from town, which was great to get away from it all, but make sure that you get food and anything else you need there first. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this as a wonderful get away and retreat. Enjoy!

Cute location!

This was a wonderful weekend get away. We docked the boat in the deep water slip and were ready to take off for the scalloping weekend. We brought our kids and dog. We are looking forward to making this to an annual event. Thanks for everything.

Secluded and peaceful, this retreat was just perfect for our short stay! A beautiful drive to all the nearby springs! Loved it! Thank you Carla and Robert for being so very accomidating to our hectic schedule!

Fun place!

B's Marina and Campground is a hidden gem in tucked away Yankeetown. The owners could not be nicer and more accommodating! The place is so clean and kept so nice. We cannot wait to return!!

Great little campground that had a boat doc and not far to get to Crystal River for scalloping. RV had everything we needed and the host was always helpful.

Great place and a really great location.

An awesome place! So comfortable and beautiful, with everything you could want. The location is peaceful but convenient. Sheryl is an excellent host. The dock on the river is a perfect retreat.

Sheryl was an excellent host. Her home is beautiful and peaceful. We really enjoyed ourselves!

We loved it.

Charming home and location is stunning with natural beauty all around! Loved it and Sheryl was very helpful and responsive!

Great little house with everything you need, but lots of mosquitoes outside

Sheryl's house is perfect for a get-away! We enjoyed our time without wifi or television thoroughly. Also great for wildlife lovers, there are raccoons, armadillos, birds, alligators and deer to see.

Great place for a small town vacation for scalloping! We really enjoyed it!

Dieses entzückende und charmante Ferienhaus ist wirklich eine schöne Erfahrung innen und außen ... sehr friedlich und bequem für Flussabenteuer! Der Gastgeber eröffnet einen Traum, um vorübergehend mit anderen zu teilen, total entzückend!

Everything was wonderful. Clean house and with everything you need for your stay. Tina is a great host. Although we didn’t meet in person, she was available on her cellphone. The neighborhood was very quiet. The back yard is amazing, it has a big tree and a canal on the back end. We barbeque both days of the weekend and had a good time. I would definitely stay at Tina’s place again. 100% recommended.

We loved staying here! The living area felt really spacious with a large living room and an adjacent family room. It was really clean. They had two kayaks that they let us use, which was a ton of fun. We loved that the house was on the canal, with a dock.

Liz's place was adorable. Her house is very well appointed. Liz provided thoughtful touches throughout to make our stay perfect! For our scalloping adventure, our boat Captains picked us up - right from Liz's dock! We saw manatees (several), fish, scallops :), turtles, Roseate Spoonbill (and many other birds), dolphins, a raccoon, deer and we heard owls! We will definitely stay at Liz's house again! Thank you for having us, Liz!

The host canceled this reservation 9 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

What a beautiful spot! Super secluded, and tranquil! The house was fully equipped with anything we could have possibly needed. Liz was super helpful before and during the trip.

The pictures don't do this place justice. The dock is a long stretch across beautiful greenery. The dock has nice lifts with perfect dock ties for your boat. The inside of the house was very nice clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you really need and the grill outside is super easy to use. It also had a great bug backyard with a fire pit. We will definitely come back here if we can.

We had a wonderful time. The home and location were perfect for our scalloping trip. The house was outfitted with anything and everything that we needed. We will be back!

Love Love Love this house! Liz and John have a wonderful home that goes above and beyond when it comes to furnishings and supply's. We were amazed at just how nice this house is! Everything's brand new and top of the line, linens, towels, furniture and kitchen appliances . The house has plenty of room with a great layout and if you have a boat the dock is brand new with whip lines that keep your boat in place to avoid from banging up against the dock. The location is great, on the south side of the river near Yankeetown, very quiet and peaceful plus the public boat ramp by the Coast Guard station is only about 100yrds away. The people that we met were all so friendly and helpful even giving away some of the prized fishing / scalloping spots. Bob at the Yankeetown Marina

Our stay was wonderful in this beautiful home, loved the wooded setting on the river. we love to cook so the kitchen was equipped nicely. Very comfortable and open We made day trips to the different springs. Manatee Springs, Rainbow Springs and Homosassa Springs and wildlife refuge. We visited the Crystal River Archeological Site and then made our way to Cedar Key for Pirates Fest. While we were their we enjoyed steamed clam right out of the water.Yum We were audience to amazing sunsets with spectacular colors on the water beyond Yankee Town. We fished but didn't catch...oh well..Lol We made sure to visit the local business as to help keep them going after the storm, People we very nice and accommodating. On our last day we went to Devils Den and snorkeled in a underground cave. Cedar Woods Botanical Garden was next door to Devils Den. Beautiful place a old phosphorus pit turned into a paradise. If your looking for A++++ accommodations this is it ...Thanks Liz

We had a great time! Scalloping with captain Mike was awesome and river cruise with captain Rick was perfect time for my parents who haven't been on a boat in a long while. Beautiful place, had everything we need and it felt like we were at a friends home. Thanks for the hospitality.

Great home, clean and in great condition. Would definetly come back. Thank you

Wow!! What an amazingly unique and lovely place Kimberlee has created! She is the most welcoming hostess - from reservation communication, to our last hug goodbye, she exemplifies hospitality and graciousness. John and I were pleasantly surprised with all that the Yankeetown and Crystal River areas offered in terms of peaceful natural places, tasty places to eat, and plenty to keep us busy - so much so that we asked Kimberlee if we could extend our stay - which she did promptly! We would recommend the Magnolia House to anyone wanting to get away from it all - and yet have it all! Simply delightful!

Pros first. Beautiful, private property located on the water. This town is a nature lovers paradise and the Spice Merchants Bedchamber is a special place for sure. In room fireplace and very comfortable bed. Very clean and well decorated space. The Cons. No central heat or air. The fireplace heats the whole room pretty well and she has space heaters available. There's a small AC window unit in an adjoining breakfast nook. That amazing bathroom does not have a tub and hot water runs out very quickly. If weather is yucky then you're kinda stuck in Yankeetown with nothing to do. But, if you time it well then you can go 5 minutes from the Magnolia house and launch a kayak, swim with manatees or fish. You could even launch the kayaks right from the property! It's a gorgeous, peaceful place.

The Spice Merchant's Bed Chamber is a unique escape to paradise! Kimberlee's attention to detail and creativity is outstanding. She goes above and beyond to create an experience you won't forget. And that's just the room! The location is magical. We were welcomed by a manatee swimming in the beautiful lagoon right outside the window to our room! We launched our kayaks from Kimberlee's beautiful beach on the river and had two amazing paddles on the Withlacoochee and Bennett's Creek. We saw tons of wildlife from manatees to alligators to water birds and birds of prey. One will not be disappointed with a visit to the Magnolia House. Kimberlee's hospitality made us feel right at home. She is very friendly and welcoming and even prepared a special treat for us for our 10-year wedding anniversary. We will definitely visit this spot again!

Awesome time! Enjoyed peacefulness, will go again!

This is a beautiful, quiet retreat location about 20 minutes from Crystal River. Kimberlee is welcoming and the interior decor is very well done. A bit pricey for the amenities offered. There was fresh fruit and some snacks in the fridge when we arrived. Breakfast is not customary but I think it is available on request. Bring canoes or kayaks as you can put in right at the house!

Kimberlee war eine warme und herzliche Gastgeber. Der Raum, den wir gebucht reflektiert ihr Gespür für die Dekoration und Ausstatten. Die Liebe zum Detail dazu beigetragen, unsere entspannenden Aufenthalt, von dem bequemen Bett zu einer großzügigen Versorgung mit Handtüchern zu einer Auswahl an Pflegeprodukten zu großzügigen Frühstücksangebote. Wir haben vor allem liebten den Kamin in unserem Zimmer während der zwei kühle Abende mit, die wir im Magnolia House übernachtet.

Kimberlee zielt darauf ab, zu gefallen und tat dies für unseren 2-tägigen Aufenthalt. Besonders gefallen hat uns auf den Hof, die sehr schön mit einer Feuerstelle landschaftlich und war neben sowohl den Fluss und eine kleine Lagune.

Kimberlee was a lovely hostess! She communicated with us very well prior to our arrival, even sending a list of things to do in the local area. Before we arrived, she had stocked the kitchen with some yummy treats so that we didn't need to go out right away after such a long drive. The room was very comfortable and spacious as well. The shower was huge and the soaps and shampoos provided were wonderful!

Hideaway Freda est l'endroit idéal pour aller pour un peu de paix et de calme. Nous avons vraiment apprécié la pêche à partir du quai, et tout dans la maison est merveilleusement agréable. Nous souhaitons que nous pourrions ramasser la maison et le quai et l'asseoir à côté de notre lac préféré à la maison pour visiter tous les week-end. Freda était une hôtesse merveilleuse et était très communicative avant. La ville est petite, mais a quelques bons restaurants (Front Porch était notre préféré) et est un bon emplacement central à beaucoup de printemps nourris Floride rivières centrales, ce qui était le point de notre voyage. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'une place dans ce domaine, ou si vous voulez juste de sortir, c'est un excellent endroit pour le faire.

What a wonderfully secluded spot that is still close to many local sites. The cottage was everything Freda said it was and more. She is a gracious host. My daughter, grandson and I had a great time. Went to Rainbow River for tubing and Crystal River. But the best part was spending time with each other. Especially on the screen porch...soooo relaxing!!!

Freda est l'hôte ultime .... de la bouteille de bienvenue de vin, des équipements pratiques tout au long du chalet. La cuisine est entièrement équipée et bien ... il y a plusieurs endroits pour manger et pour s'asseoir (dans et hors), y compris le quai sur la rivière. Ce chalet est "la paix" .... tout ce que vous entendez est la rivière qui coule lentement et les oiseaux et les écureuils de bébé. Une végétation luxuriante est partout où vous regardez .... nous ne pouvions pas pu demander plus. Il est la perfection.

The Hideaway is a most relaxing beautiful environment and location. The river, a few feet from the cottage is in itself a tropical setting with very serene views. The cottage is very well maintained with a full kitchen. The porch itself is like a second living room. Very comfortable and very quiet compared to most other locations. A good value, we certainly would return. Freda and Jim are terrific to know and very helpful hosts. Larry

Notre famille de 4 personnes (Gainesville étudiant et trois de l'État de Washington) aimait The Hideaway. La maison est très bien aménagées et joliment décorées. La rivière est seulement pieds de la belle véranda qui est un endroit idéal pour profiter de café le matin et l'après-midi à tricoter. Le Hideaway est un endroit idéal pour se détendre et visiter. Nous avons apprécié les kayaks et la natation à partir du quai.

We loved the Hideaway! Freda was an amazing host, and her property was just incredible. We fished off the dock and saw turtles and dolphins. The property was clean, updated, well stocked, and very comfortable. We will definitely be back!

This was the second time we stayed at the Hideaway, and it was as enjoyable as the first.

When people talk about "hidden gems", this is what they're talking about. If you're looking for a charming, riverside, secluded, private, clean, updated cabin with TONS of amenities, the Hideaway is for you. My family stayed for a week. We had the best time going to Crystal River scalloping, Rainbow River, and Weeki Wachee. My husband and son spent a lot of time outside at the cabin on the beautiful lit dock. The beautiful and peaceful river is easily visible from the cabin. There, we saw fish, Dolphins, and a manatee mom and baby just a foot away! Freda made a special effort to inform us when she saw a manatee close by in the lagoon. The owners have an adjacent garage stocked with fabulous extras just for guests. They have fishing gear, kayaks, a canoe, chairs, a grill, firewood, life jackets, and more! The inside of the cabin is beautifully decorated and very, very clean. It looks just like the pictures. Freda has included many amenities like beach towels, linens, kitchen gadgets, etc. The kitchen was beautifully updated like the rest of the home. There wasn't a thing we needed that wasn't there. Overall, we were very happy with our choice to stay at The Hideaway. We'd definitely recommend the cabin to friends and family. Thank you for sharing your property with us. It's a true gem. We'll be back.

If you want peace and quiet with a small village feeling you will enjoy the Writer's Cottage. The caretaker is an artist and his works as well as the rustic décor give this cozy cottage a special charm. Terry and Wendy are very nice people and helped us quickly with everything we needed.

テリーとウェンディは素晴らしいホストでした!彼らは右のコテージの後ろに生きている彼らは、テキストを通って、人で簡単にアクセスしました。彼らは助け、私たちは私たちが自宅で非常に歓迎し、右感じることに必要なものを提供して喜んでいました。コテージは愛らしいと二人に最適です。非常にフレンドリーホストと私は非常にここに滞在をお勧めしたいです!

Teri was right there to meet me and show me around when I arrived. He gave me fresh eggs and strawberries as a welcome gift. The property is lovely and the whole area has a great vibe. Oh..and I think these might be the softest towels ever!!

We had a wonderful time at Wendy and Terry's place! They were excellent hosts. I would highly recommend staying here and would not hesitate to stay here again in the future !

Lovely environment

非常に素晴らしく、静か。私は一週間滞在することができたことを望みます。

Great place! If your looking for peace and quiet this is the home! Very nice home with a pool.

The place was an experience in and of itself. My daughter was in heaven with the lizards, chickens, dragon flies and fish.

The house is set in the middle of a cozy, tranquil peaceful cove. You have boats at your use. My 11 year loved driving the electric motor boat around. Allen is nearby if you have questions or needs. He taught us a lot about fishing and had a great energy. The beds were comfortable. The wifi was good and kitchen was stocked. I highly recommend a trip to Mama's river house. I feel so relaxed after spending 5 days there!

Eindeutiges charmant! Allen, die nebenan Nachbar und Gastgeber haben unseren Aufenthalt über angenehm, uns mit allen Infos bieten wir unseren Aufenthalt zu genießen benötigt. Dank Allen, fischte meine Kinder den ganzen Tag - jeden Tag und erlebte die Hinterwäldler von Old Florida at its best. Während das Haus all die Waren auf den Fotos und der Beschreibung in der Beschreibung gesehen bietet, die ein Komfort, den wir im Widerspruch zu sein fand, war das Bad, wie es wirklich ein Update nutzen könnten. Die Küche war aber zuvorkommend und ausgestattet mit allen notwendigen Einzelteile zu uns wie zu Hause fühlen. Die Betten und Kissen waren komfortabel, frisch und sauber. Insgesamt war unsere Erfahrung zu erfüllen, Spaß und von Gängen, sehr einzigartig. Wir freuen uns darauf, wieder im nächsten Sommer zu erneuten Besuch.

The best place ever. Clean and had everything we needed. Allen was a perfect host. Thanks for s great time.

Mom's River House is absolutely fantastic. From the moment we stepped on the property until the time we left, everything was just perfect. Norma was very responsive both before we went and once we got there. She provided me with a lot of information on the area. Allen was a great host and extremely helpful. My 12-year old twin boys and husband really enjoyed fishing off the dock and caught quite a few fish. They loved going out on the river in the paddle boat. At night, we made fires in the fire pit and roasted marshmallows. The house was so cute and had everything one could need, including satellite t.v. so we could watch football games on Thanksgiving Day. The bathroom was recently renovated and has a wonderfully large shower. We will definitely go back again. As a travel agent, I can say that this is truly a great value--and a particularly delightful find!

We had such a wonderful stay! Allen is a great host who greeted us upon our arrival. He even brought over some fresh eggs for our breakfast (courtesy of Lulabelle, the hen). Allen was available for any questions we had, and made our stay most welcoming. Our stay was comfortable and relaxing. The lagoon behind the home is like a paradise where we enjoyed cranes, great blue herons, a number of white ibis, anoles, and turtles sunning themselves. We also enjoyed a bit of fishing off the dock. Internet and cell service is fantastic, and plenty of cable/dish selection if you can't completely tear away from technology. The kitchen has everything you might need to prepare meals. Loved having the screened front porch with plenty of seats, and rockers out back. We live in a rural area and enjoy being away from it all, but here..we enjoyed seclusion, and could travel easily and quickly to stores and shoppes and restaurants. We look forward to returning in the future!

Wir haben unseren Ausflug nach Crystal River. Das Haus Fluss war sehr friedlich und malerisch eingebettet in den Eichen auf die Bucht. Das Haus war sehr sauber und der Hof war schön. Wir hatten alles, was wir brauchten, um unseren Aufenthalt angenehm zu machen. Allen & Norma waren sehr gute Gastgeber und standen zur Verfügung, um Fragen zu beantworten. Ich wünschte, wir hätten länger bleiben können!

Thank you so much for sharing your family's home with us! We had a wonderful time. Allen was so kind and we really felt welcomed. We will be back!
