The perfect river retreat is owned by A&J River Legacy which was formed by three cousins and their spouses. Our dads (Andy and Joe) introduced us to life on the river and we have been hooked ever since. Dunnellon has been our home away from home for over 30 years and we are looking forward to sharing the place we love so much with others while passing on the legacy of our dads, who we miss daily. We hope you enjoy our place as much as we do!
