Comfort Suites Dunnellon near Rainbow Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, comfortable, quiet. Free tesla charger."

The Gator Den Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We've driven right past this place many times before, always on our way to some other destination. This time, we just wanted a couple days of relaxed boating on a river. What a great surprise this was! This little motel is located right on the water. There is a nice county-owned boat ramp right across the street. The motel was quiet and peaceful, despite being next to the highway. The bar and restaurant were very good. The room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. After the great time we had on the Rainbow and Withlacoochee rivers, and the pleasant stay at the Gator Den Motel, we will definitely be back."

Riverfront Cabin near Rainbow Springs 5BR 4BA Sleeps 16 Hot Tub Kayaks Game Room

10/10 Excellent

"Kurt, Sharon & their home were amazing hosts to our group. We had 3 families with kids ranging from 8 months to 13 years. The home was well appointed to keep everyone entertained and off screens :)Everything is organized and descriptive, including which lights are on the switches and which dishes go where in the cabinets.The home is tucked back, well off the main road, right on the river, quiet, and relaxing.The dock was the fan favorite, with great fishing. At night you can see owls perched on the cypress trees and listen to the symphony of nature, as a fire burns in the pit.The town and Rainbow River is just down the street 15 minutes away.We would happily return again!"

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay! The property was beautiful, spotless, and very well maintained. Our family truly enjoyed our time there. Everything was thoughtfully prepared, from the fully equipped kitchen to all the amenities and utilities we needed. We especially loved the home’s décor—it made the space feel warm and welcoming—and the pier was a wonderful place to relax.Although we didn’t get the chance to use the kayaks, we did enjoy the fishing gear that was available, which was a great bonus. Overall, this home exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We hope to come back again in the future. Highly recommend!"
