About this property

Rainbow River Home - Directly on Main Dive Springs

YOU MUST ENTER AN ACCURATE GROUP COUNT TO RESERVE!!!! Our 3000s.f. home sits on 3.8 acres DIRECTLY ON THE MAIN DIVE SPRINGS of the crystal clear Rainbow River! The absolute premiere location on the river! Why? Check the map! We are UPRIVER of the KP Hole - the county park where thousands of tubers (and boaters) enter the river and float downstream. We are on the widest upriver section with numerous deep springs located directly off the backyard! Swim, snorkel, scuba dive or kayak in peace without massive congestion. Kayak 1 mile upriver to the head springs and state park - the most pristine and preserved section of the river - and then float back to the house. The head springs and first 1700 feet of the river prohibit motorized vessels, anchoring, fishing, tubing and diving, so kayakers are treated with the most abundant experience of wildlife, native vegetation and crystal clear water anywhere on the river! Or, tube about 1/2 mile to the KP Hole and walk back to the house. Of course, the adventurous can still jump in the river with tubes for the 4 hour float downriver to Swampy's Restaurant at the bridge take-out.

Stay with us and avoid the costs of renting kayaks and tubes, transportation fees and park entrance fees (not to mention waiting in long, hot lines for hours). Perfect for family reunions and other gatherings. Four large bedrooms contain enough beds to sleep 20 (4 Queens, 12 twins). Only a 3-night minimum. Use of 20 single-person kayaks, 3 paddle boards and 10 tubes included at no charge!

Spacious getaway in the perfect location
We had a wonderful time at this property. The owners were in constant communication and any message I sent them was responded to in a very timely manner. The rooms were large with more beds than we could fill. It has a really neat dynamic with two rooms upstairs and two down. The house is a little dated, but has a great flow and tons of usable space for large groups. The spotlight of this visit was the property. It's very large and has a ton of stuff to do on it. We had a fire at the fire pit, played lots of ping pong and there were also two nets up for volleyball or badminton. They had a ton of kayaks and we used those daily. The location is north of KP hole, so you get a lot less traffic on the river as some other properties that I have stayed at. There is a really nice little beach area at the kayak launch site and once you swim out, there is a spring right there. If you have a large group, family reunion, or just want the perfect location on the river, this is the spot. I will definitely be renting with them again. I have stayed at 4 or 5 different properties on the Rainbow River and this is by far my favorite.

Perfect Stay
A couple years ago my family camped at Rainbow River Campground. During our stay, and while out in the water, we scoped out the best area of the river so we could rent a house next time we came. When we went searching for rentals i recognized this rental property as one of the best spots on the river so we jumped at the chance to book it. And when we arrived and got out on the water we realized we made the right choice. There were three families in our group. And we had seven children from age 1-10. There was something for everyone to enjoy about this house. Our whole group loved it. Everyone enjoyed the paddleboards and kayaks and our children were all paddling on their own by the end of our 3 night stay. The waterfront area of this house is the best on the river. While it is directly on the river it is set back just a little bit, giving the kids such a perfect area to just swim and float around and practice their skills paddling. And this gave the adults the chance to just sit back and relax while the kids had fun. One day we were there we had a lot of rain and we loved having the ping pong table out in the carport to keep us entertained during that time. As for the inside of this house there was some charm about it. It’s an older house but kept perfectly clean. Soooo much space to store and cook food. There were also plenty of games and toys stocked for the kids. The living area was nice and spacious. The owner was very responsive and we cant wait to come back.

Family Reunion
The house was just perfect!! Huge and spacious with plenty of beds. Huge living room spacious enough to fit the entire family for movie night. It was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Kayaks and life vests with whistles ready in house at no additional cost. The river behind the house had a shallow area perfect for the toddlers to play. Multiple appliances in kitchen and laundry room. My family of 17 loved it and plan to come again. Owner was very attentive and always ready to assist. I don’t have one bad thing to say. It was awesome. 5 starsss
