Lovely Home Near World Equestrian Center and Rainbow Springs State Park!

Welcome to Marion County, Florida! We are the Horse Capital of the World and the World Equestrian Center is the largest equestrian center in the U.S.. We're also known for out first magnitude, crystal-clear spring that feeds the beautiful Rainbow River.

This smoke-free home accommodates up to six guests. The master king bedroom has an ensuite bath with a double vanity, walk-in shower, garden tub, and private water closet. Guest rooms have queen beds. One guest room includes a desk and workstation. All bedrooms have ceiling fans. We welcome long term rentals and offer a discounted rate.

The open design welcomes you with plenty of room to relax. The sliding glass doors open to an expansive lanai that is screened and covered; free from bugs and sun. A gas grill, patio furniture, and loungers are ready for your use. The backyard view is woodsy and private. Just beyond the trees is a path for walking or cycling.

The home is on a wooded property and you are bound to see deer, fox, rabbits, armadillos, raccoons, and birds. Florida is endemic to critters and insects, so please keep all doors and windows closed. We are diligent with our pest control.

The World Equestrian Center is only 25 minutes away. It is the pinnacle of equestrian sport and events are open to the public. Rainbow Springs State park is only 5 minutes away. The Rainbow River is a natural wonder for swimming, kayaking, and wildlife viewing.

More places of interest include Blue Run Dunnellon Park, Halpata Tastanaki Preserve, Cedar Lakes Woods and Gardens in Williston. Art lovers will enjoy Appleton Museum of Art in Ocala. History lovers will like the historic train depot in Dunnellon, Old Courthouse Heritage Museum in Inverness, Fort Cooper State Park and Chinsegut Hill Historic Site. For golfers, visit Juliette Falls and Twisted Oaks.

Winn Dixie, Publix, Aldi, and Walmart are 5 minutes away. Cheers, Riviera Maya, Lugo's Cuban Grill, and Front Porch restaurants are Dunnellon favorites. Visit Grumbles House Antiques and Garden Shop (built in 1908) for a chance to find a memorable gift of your trip.

We stayed for a couple nights for a golf tournament. The house was very clean and so comfortable. I enjoyed morning coffee on the back porch while watching the many birds and squirrels in the back yard. We didn't cook while there, but the kitchen was very well equipped and would have been great for cooking a nice dinner. The neighborhood was beautiful and very quiet. Close to many restaurants and the golf course. A perfect place for our weekend away.

The home is beautiful and very comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything including multiple charging cords in every room. The screened back porch is very relaxing and usually has a cool breeze.

The house was very nice and had all the amenities that you could ever need. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone else that is looking to be in your Rainbow River. The host was very accommodating and checking in and checking out was very smooth.

Beautiful house, strictly ran

Honest review-The house is beautiful and well maintained, equipped with all kitchen, bathroom, and bedding essentials you may need. It is cleaned spotlessly and there are some games and other activities inside to make for some fun family time. The neighborhood is gorgeous with a walking trail out the back yard. The hot tub outback is off limits. Main problem is with surveillance. They seem to watch you at all times. No where in the listing or posted in the house did we find that the garage was “not an amenity”. The house was even posted to come with 2 new bikes, however we took a bike out and received an immediate 15 charge for use of the bikes which wasn’t allowed according to the owner. You feel like you are being watched so if privacy is important, look elsewhere. The cameras in garage actually follow you. I booked this as last minute getaway for my family of 5 (me, husband, infant in one room, and two children to share another room). There were not many options left in the area so we chose this 3 bedroom house. Invited another family along as we would only be using two of the bedrooms. My mistake for not going back and checking that it was listed for 6 people, as most 3 bedroom rentals sleep more. There are doorbell cameras and security cameras along the entire perimeter and we were charged for the 3 extra guests per night. Understandable, as it’s house rule. we left the place very clean and were only there to sleep. Probably more suited for older couples.
