Description from owner

Description

Our house is located right on Lake Rousseau. This is a reservoir lake made in the early 1900s. The 12 mile long lake is fed partly by the 141 mile Withlacoochee River and the crystal clear, cool Rainbow River. Borrow our kayaks or canoes and go explore the waters.

The house is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood that is very rural. Of course the main attraction is the lake. Lake Rousseau is a bird watchers lake, a fishing lake, and a paddle boaters dream. The added bonus is having the Withlacoochee River flow right through the lake.

The lake house is also situated conveniently for day trip exploring. It's 25 miles from I-75, 8 miles from Dunnellon and 11 miles from Crystal River. Each town boasts its springs and rivers but Dunnellon is special because of the Rainbow River. This river is great to paddle board, kayak, boat cruise or do like the vast multitude and just float down the cool waters in your inner tube. It's 7 miles in length and is fed by springs, some of which are magnitude one. Big! If you bring your motor boat you can just leave the lake house dock and enjoy the ride upstream right into the Rainbow!

Best wishes to you in your search for a vacation rental. Will S

Getting around

Travel by car because you will be in a rural area. Biking from one town to another I would consider unsafe because the roads are two lane highways and do not have bike lanes. In town bike riding is much better and safer. In fact, Dunnellon has an entry point for the Withlacoochie Trail.

Interaction with guest

It's rather simple and private. Upon arrival to the house you will access keys via a lockbox. If any problems occur you will call me and I will assist you. The good news is no one has had any issues.!

My neighbors are great people and would gladly help you with ideas and information. Please treat them well by maintaining the quiet atmosphere that is naturally there.
Please adhere to the NO SWIMMING rule. The lake holds alligators and you shouldn't tempt an alligator with food or by swimming. Also, the lake has stumps slightly submerged and some slightly above the water line. Diving is just plain dangerous so NO DIVING.
