Other things to note
Please enjoy all the local springs photos seen throughout the home. May they inspire our guests to participate in conserving our beautiful Rainbow River. Also, please don't leave any trash in the Rainbow. Try to leave it cleaner than you found it! In fact, we have found many treasures over the years on our floats. You can find all the Rainbow treasure on the back porch in the storage chest. Feel free to borrow and use any of those masks & snorkels but leave for the next guests. If you find any treasure in the river feel free to leave it behind for next time if you wish.

Save our springs! Please don't feel the need to buy bottled water we provide 5 stage reverse osmosis drinking water and ice in the home. The Rainbow River is a spring river that releases about 500 million gallons of 72 degree fresh water year round daily and connects to the Withlacoochee River known for it's world class bass fishing. It has produced for thousands of years a beautiful landscape for a diverse ecosystem. We hope you enjoy and appreciate it as much as we have making life long memories that keep you coming back!

Neighborhood highlights

Our neighborhood is wonderfully located next to so many local businesses including Swampy’s Bar and Grill, Repeat Boutique, Just a Cupcake, Fired Up Billiard and Karaoke Bar, Go For Donuts, Massage and Chiropractors, and so much more.

The Blue Run county parking lot that has a ramp access for kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and tubes is within walking distance of the house. Blue Run also has hiking trails and a very beautiful paved trail that is great for walking, running or cycling. Guests could even enjoy swimming there during the weekdays or evenings of the weekends when it’s not busy and the county is not enforcing their no swimming rules (locals swim there often please clean up trash where you see it to help us keep it clean!).

Our neighborhood is beautiful and features many properties located right on the water. The Dunnellon City Beach is located on the Rainbow and within our neighborhood. Downtown Dunnellon is also within reach by foot or car.

Rainbow Springs State Park is about a 12 minute drive away. Ocala is a 20 to 30 minute drive. Publix, Walmart, and many convenient dining and shopping options are about five minutes away.
