About this property

Enjoy the tranquil and peaceful setting directly on the Withlacoochee River. This special home offers a beautiful natural setting and many extras to enjoy during your stay.

Relax on the very cozy outdoor lanai while experiencing the beautiful surroundings. You will be in awe of the morning view from the upstairs bedroom overlooking the tranquil river setting. It is a bird watcher’s paradise with many bird sounds to greet you. Your morning coffee never tasted so good!

You can fish right off the floating dock or adventure out in one of the kayaks to discover the truly amazing surroundings which include an 8,000 acre nature preserve directly across the river. In the past, we have seen deer, hogs, and even otters playing on the shore bank of that preserve.

Enjoy the newly renovated kitchen that any chef would love! There is a pool table for those fun game challenges. You can experience an early morning soak, afternoon swim or an evening gathering in the swim spa/hot tub that can’t be beat!

A master bedroom upstairs and an upstairs loft with a queen size sleeper sofa as well as two downstairs guest bedrooms allow this home to accommodate 8 guests.

Spend a day floating down the crystal clear Rainbow River which is just minutes away! If you’re interested in chartering a 1/2 day pontoon river boat trip right from your dock with a certified boat captain, let us know and we get you in touch with the Captain to make that happen.

We are close to Crystal River where you can see the manatees or schedule a seasonal scalloping trip. Also, the amazing World Equestrian Center is just a short drive away!

For your added comfort and security we have an electronic gate to access the property and have installed blink security cameras outside front and back doors. Due to the close proximity of the river, NO child is allowed UNDER 6. Also, in consideration of future guests with allergies, we do not accept indoor smoking or any pets on the premises.

Come discover this outstanding home sanctuary and you will soon find out that you may never want to leave!

Relax and enjoy

Our 2nd time at this property. It is beautiful along the river. The way it is situated you are unaware of the neighbors, which makes this home a perfect spot to feel secluded, wether it’s enjoying the swim spa or reading on the lanai. The kayaks are a wonderful addition for some outdoor activities and the river is really amazing to kayak in. Karen and Kevin are prompt on responses.

Great girls getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paradise on the Riverbend!! House was perfect for a girls getaway weekend. Immaculate home with plenty of room to spread out - the 8 of us had a blast. Chilled dockside and could see deer across from the nature preserve. Weather was amazing! Used the kayaks to explore, nightly fire pit fun, huge hot tub!! We picked oranges for our Mimosas. Neighbors were extremely friendly and even borrowed cornhole boards and more kayaks. Thanks Karen for your quick responses and for allowing us to stay in your slice of paradise!! WITHLACOOCHEE did not disappoint. Would rent again :)

Wonderful

This cabin on the river was absolutely fantastic! It was so peaceful and relaxing. We loved fishing everyday and just sitting outside watching nature. The house exceeded my expectations and was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful decor and interior design. Just great all around!

Beautiful home and serene stay

Beautiful house. Well acquainted and stocked. The hot tub was enormous and lovely to soak in on a cool winter night. There are some stairs in the house that take some getting used to but I loved it here and plan to return.

Best of the Best!

PERFECT!! We loved everything about this home & the location. If this home was for sale, I would seriously consider moving there. The kitchen has everything you need plus some. The living area, and the bedrooms are very comfortable. It has an amazing view, with great outside amenities. I have rented quite a few properties, and this is by far the best of the best! Thank you Karen & Kevin for making your home available to us.
