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

Our Favorite VRBO Stay
The Birdhouse is a lovely, peaceful escape. It’s everything you’d want: private, quiet, clean, with a beautiful view of the river. Our Pugs enjoyed roaming the huge backyard. We enjoyed watching the boats on the river and especially listening to the sounds of the night on the river. Dana is a terrific host. We felt welcome right from the start and look forward to coming again.

Truly is The Bird House !
From being serenaded by the Carolina Wren, Cardinals, Woodpeckers and to many more species to list this truly is a step back in time to Old Florida. Our Golden Retriever loved the freedom to chase the wildlife and explore. The days started on the back porch and watching the boats going by. And our evenings on the dock doing the same. Kayaking right of the dock was great! Pam and Dana were the best hosts, giving us tips on where to visit and the best eateries. The welcome basket was a great touch. A hidden Gem!

My husband & I spent a long weekend with our two labs at Dana’s place. We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to birds & watching the river. We cooked in a few nights & had what we needed. A peaceful stay!

The bird house is the PERSON place to relax and unwind with your pups. Paddle the Rainbow or Withalacooche and then catch sunset from the screened porch, dock or hammock! Dana, the owner, is great and very welcoming. Would lo stay here again and again!

Tranquility
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The view is lovely and the setting very peaceful. Lots of bird calls and had a barn owl in the yard one day. Dana goes above and beyond as far as communication. We wanted to fish off the dock but it was weedy, so he and a friend came by boat to try to clear it out. So nice! We enjoyed using Dana’s kayaks to kayak the Rainbow River. Made a stop at Swampy’s and then floated back. Good nearby bike trails too. Also loved the screened-in porch! If you are looking for a quiet setting with room for animals, this is the place!

Serene Oasis by the River
There are so many wonderful things to say about the bird house--the stellar hospitality of the host, the cleanliness of the property, the convenience to attractions and restaurants; however, the view from the screen porch is simply unbeatable. Even on a chilly December day, we were able to sit on the screen porch and enjoy the river view. The pictures on VRBO don't even do the view justice. The Bird House is so peaceful--the perfect spit to unwind. The yard is fenced and immaculate. When one enters the property, the foliage gave us a sense of an exotic resort and the feeling of privacy, yet we were close to all the things we wanted to see and do. My husband caught a bass right off the dock! The Blue gator is about 7 minutes away; one can rent boats there as well. Many thanks to Dana abd Pam for allowing us to get some much needed rest at this lovely, tranquil home. The hosts are awesome! We have been visiting this area for years, but this is my favorite home where we have stayed. We will absolutely be back to this little piece of heaven! Deborah and Ben

We had an amazing few days at this property. It was centrally located for us and had everything that we needed even a fenced yard for the dog to run around in. We would book it again.
