The scenic Withlacoochee River Pet-friendly Bird House

Rent this 1 Bedroom 1 Bath Dunnellon Seasonal Waterfront Rental in Tranquil Old Florida. The Birdhouse is located in Dunnellon Florida on the scenic Withlacoochee River. The entire house is a 720 sq foot open space, newly renovated interior with a queen-sized bed in the bedroom, a huge porch with screen to keep the bugs out, completely renovated kitchen with microwave and all the little amenities, smartTV in the living room area; fully air-conditioned WiFi and nest doorbell.
From the dock you can see the confluence of the Rainbow and Withlacoochee Rivers. The Dunnellon Birdhouse location is 15 minutes from Ocala Fl and Crystal River Fl. There's loadz of free space at the back for boat parking.

The Birdhouse is ideal for fishing or boating because you will have quick access to the Rainbow River, Withlacoochee River and Lake Rousseau without launching your boat. Fishing from the private dock has proven effective for guests with nice catches of Bass and Catfish. Remember Relaxing in the hammock is always an option after kayaking cycling or sightseeing

Fishing from the dock was great. Loved that the yard was fully fenced. Watching the river from the screened in porch was so relaxing. Looking forward to a return visit.

Perfect balance of rest and adventure

We had a wonderful stay at The Birdhouse. Check in was a breeze. Host was very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch overlooking the river. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. Location was perfect for our needs. We hiked the numerous trails in the area. Food and shopping was within walking distance of the property. We have stayed in Dunnellon many times and this property is on our Top 5 list! Thanks, Dana for an absolutely wonderful time! We will be back.

Scenic and Cozy stay on the river

Driving into the property feels like entering a hidden garden! We felt welcomed and it was fun discovering all the little touches and details of this little house and beautiful property! Couldn’t ask for more and we hope to come back when we can use the kayaks and the KPHole passes!

Nice place - very scenic

I recently stayed at this property and found it to be very clean with a beautiful screened porch that overlooked the river. This made for a very scenic view. The amenities made the stay pleasurable. It’s located not far from Dunellen making that town very accessible as well as several pints of interest. The only item that prevents me from giving this four stars was the internet service. It went down multiple times every night as well as during the day and was just unreliable. This is no fault of the property owner. They are forced to use AT & T which, from my experience, is just a totally terrible service. While some effort could be made to upgrade, if possible, this situation became just a nightly issue. I wouldn’t let this stop anyone from staying here - just be prepared if you need a reliable internet connection. Other than that, this was a very nice place and would recommend it to couples or single people.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the river. The use of kayaks was great and enjoyed sitting on the dock. Large screened in porch was a plus. We will be back again.

Stacation to Rainbow Springs

The Bird House Cottage was the perfect nest for our visit to Rainbow Springs area. Dana has done a wonderful thinking ahead of everything a guest might enjoy. The cottage is beautifully and privately situated on the Withlacoochee River. We can't wait for our next visit.
