This was the best trip so far to Dunellon. We come every year and this is our first year staying here. Room was clean, check-in was easy. You can walk to the restaurant on the property, which has really good food. They also rent pontoon boats. Everyone on staff was super friendly and kind. The absolute best part of this motel though was meeting Captain Bob. If you’ve never had (or even if you have) been on an airboat ride, I can’t stress enough how much you HAVE to go with Captain Bob. We were able to see all kinds of wildlife and even a baby alligator. Make sure you ask him to “drive it like he stole it” lol! You will be smiling for weeks. Capt Bob also gave the kids some bait and both our kids caught their first fish off the dock. This will be the only place we stay for years to come.
