We had an amazing extended weekend with family and friends here! The house was super cozy comfortable for a group of people. We were a few minutes away from restaurant, the springs, and about a 30 min drive to the gulf for scalloping! The host even brought us a second anchor because we didn’t have one on our boat for the springs. Great stay!

Would love to stay here year after year. Everything was great and perfect. We loved being on the canal. Easy boat ride close to springs. Loved the private boy slip and loved not having to launch the boat every day. Beds were comfortable and house was very clean. The owner was so responsive. Lots of nice touches. Enjoyed it tremendously!!!

This river house was all we had hoped for and more. We had a great experience. So many good things to say about this place....great location, peaceful, beautiful. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. Everything we needed was there so we were able to just walk right in and begin our vacation. Very roomy! Plenty of space for a big family to hang out indoors and out. We are already planning our next stay here :)

We had a great time relaxing. We rented a boat at the nearby marina at a reasonable rate and enjoyed fishing in the morning and taking all the kids to the springs to swim in the afternoon. It was great fun to pull the boat into the dockside restaurant and have a relaxing dinner after a long day of fun and sun. The location is great and the neighbors made us feel right at home. So much to see and do here. I can’t wait to get back!

Truly a paradise! The location was spectacular. We sat on the screened in porch and the deck watching the birds, manatees, and dolphins for hours on end. It was like a safari but from our house. Even on a rainy day, it was the perfect respite from our typically hectic lives. We watched movies while relaxing on the cosy, comfy couch all day one day. The home itself was so welcoming. What a nice touch to have a note that said Welcome Gutermuth Family and we loved all the recommendations. It was also absolutely spotless which is incredibly important right now. I don't think Ive ever been in a place so clean. If we ever get back to Homosassa Springs/Crystal River, we will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and spacious accommodations on the water
We had a wonderful trip in October. We came down to visit grandma, but because of covid wanted a separate place where we could gather outside. The lanai was a great place to sit, eat and play games. The house itself was spotless. The beds comfortable. Every morning we would spot new animals outside in the canal. We even had a chance to see manatees - a baby and the mom hung out one morning. Great rental!

Just what you are looking for
The home is perfect! The location could not be any better. Close to Publix for any thing you forgot, no bridges to worry about while on the boat and close to the springs for a relaxing swim after fishing/scalloping. The house is clean and the beds are comfortable. All in all- you couldn't ask for a better place. The owners were very helpful and the boat ramp is within walking distance to launch your boat for your stay.

Perfect Place to Stay
This is an amazing place to stay. Everything was so clean. Beds were super comfortable and brand new mattresses. Lots of room to hang out in the family room with a big sectional. Bedrooms were very spacious. We have a 24ft boat and it was easy to dock and get to the river. Springs were close by and we went scalloping every day. Very close to Publix. We will definitely come back and stay here.
