Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Rousseau

Perfect location for our plans with local family and friends. We felt totally comfortable like it was our home. No hotel vibes at all. So relaxing and the pool was a fantastic retreat! Clean, spacious, and an amazing host. We will be back!

We loved staying there. It was Father's Day weekend, and we brought our boat. We could put in a few minutes away and dock at Steven's place right across the street. The home was very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed playing pool in the evenings. The house is close to a grocery store and not far from the Rainbow River or the Withlacoochee River. The house was comfortable and had all the necessary items for cooking. Beautiful area!!

I absolutely loved Jennifer’s place! The horses out back were so awesome and my kids were so excited. How unique that was! The location was great, very quiet area but just a short drive to whatever you need. We were in town to see my father who has recently been placed on hospice, so a not so great reason. But the home and awesome neiggghhhhbors 🐎 made it more comfortable for us. I would highly recommend staying here!

Would highly recommend this peaceful property. Our employees loved having this peaceful and beautiful location to rest and wake up to the peaceful surroundings the next morning after working hard all day. Their stay here was good for morale and productivity. The property is gorgeous, comfortable, well maintained and would be a great place for vacation. Host were great, friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Nice place in good condition right next to country club of Ocala

House was great location- close to town and restaurants but far enough away to feel the country vibe. House backed up to a pasture which provided privacy and great view. The river activities were all close enough to spend our days on the river and have a house close by to come home to.

We had a great time staying here. Close to the springs and beautiful to relax on the porch overlooking the water.

Stayed here for a long weekend with my friend and 2 dogs. BEAUTIFUL PLACE! Close proximity to the springs, restaurants, and activities! Would 100% stay here again.

Family of 5 (3 kids) and two dogs from VA. Felt the house was perfect with a great yard and cool trees. The dogs didn’t need leashed and could be at ease with pool access being safe. (My dogs can’t swim) The sheets were real cotton (this means a lot) and the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of bedding and pillow options. Kitchen had the basics to cook meals which was easier. The house had everything we needed to have a great vacation other than food to eat. Close to everything we wanted to do. A great trail that was not a commercialized walk where we saw armadillos, manatees, an alligator, bald eagles, snakes and we could hear two owls talking. It was perfection. The swing out back was a nice peaceful touch and I really appreciated the grill. We saw crystal clear water at three sisters while kayaking as well as dolphins at sunset. We took a boat cruise to an island and found more shells I’ve seen in my life. I’d come back again and again. No hoopla where tons of people were.

Jesus was great and replied to all my questions even before I checked in. The place was amazing and super comfortable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From start to finish, this Airbnb was absolutely perfect! The host went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met and was incredibly responsive throughout our stay. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. It accommodated everyone in our group with ease, and we truly appreciated the thoughtful touches and attention to detail. I would absolutely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends and family. If you’re looking for a place that offers great hospitality, convenience, and comfort—this is it!

This was a beautiful, spacious, and peaceful place to stay! It was wonderful to have so much privacy and space for my kids to run around and play outside, while also being fairly close to anything we needed. Starla was super responsive and helpful when any issues popped up. Would definitely recommend!

The home was very welcoming. There are even doggie treats in the foyer as you walk in. Sandra has everything you would need. She is wonderful about responding. The beds were the most comfortable we have ever slept on in a rental. The mattress was just right and they have down comforters and pillows. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything. We loved the Espresso machine! So yummy! It is quiet on the end of a canal. We did not use the kayaks but did use the pool. We rented kayaks at Kings Bay so we could go to the springs. It really was a wonderful vacation. Thank you Sandra!

This is the SPOT when traveling to Brooksville, Florida. Off the beaten path, but just a straight shot into town, this little cottage provides a peaceful oasis away from any hustle and bustle. Although there was no wi-fi (at least at the time of writing this review), my cellular service was still great, and my wife and I were glad not to be as "plugged-in" as our daily lives are normally-- the DVD collection was way more fun to look forward to each night (watched the LOTR in 3 nights LOL). Morning coffee was always relaxing and entertaining as we watched a big ol' rooster escort some hens around :) Robert and Andrea are super responsive, attentive, and very gracious hosts. The whole experience was easy, and whenever we return to Brooksville we plan on returning to visit. Thanks again!!

Rachael and Mike are one of if not the BEST hosts we have ever had, We have been airbnbing for a long time , at least 15 or more . They are very responsive to everything we need . Beautiful home and very clean. They are very friendly and cordial. The pool is beautiful and kept very clean. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay, this is it, you will not find a better place or better people. God Beauty is the perfect name for Mike and Rachael and their Home. Thank you so very much for sharing your home with us. Our stay was from April 10-18 2025 and we enjoyed every single day of it. God Bless, Wayne & Sandy Niedoba

10 out of 10 would recommend! I have traveled all over the US and often utilize Airbnb and this is going down in the books as one of my favorite homes! The house itself is like a time capsule. Lots of antique furniture and nostalgic pieces of the past. But also super clean, comfortable and up-to-date. The amenities are also amazing! Everything was clean, well organized, and ready to use. The main river is about a 15 minute paddle, but it’s gorgeous. My kids said this might be one of their favorite vacations we’ve ever taken! The Neighbor kids even came over and joined us for a game of basketball. All of the neighbors seemed super friendly. The house is also well stocked with things like pans, dishes, silverware, extra blankets, pillows, etc. And sitting on the deck for morning, coffee and to relax in the evening is amazing. Communication with the host was easy and painless. We will most definitely be staying again!

We could not be happier with The Cottage! Everything was as described and then some. Great location for the activities we had planned. We will visit again in the fall! Cant wait to join Ashley and her farm friends again. Absolutely lovely interactions. This is a must stay for anyone looking for a country side retreat.

We have stayed there twice and look forward to staying there again.

Michael 's place was perfect for us. I would stay there again and we will recommend it to others.

We had an amazing stay at Steve’s property, the view was amazing and we had a blast at Crystal River. Thank you so much.

Kristen was a wonderful host. Friendly & accommodating. The house was lovely, comfortable, and well equipped. I especially loved the upstairs loft with the picture window that offered a great view of the surrounding marshlands from the upstairs desk. The outdoor spaces were great for cookouts & fishing too if you’re up for a little kayaking. There are set of wind chimes that sing the most beautiful melody creating an almost hypnotically relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend!!

Our daughter was showing at WEC, and the house is ideally located just a short drive from there. The house was super clean and cozy. Alexa was super responsive to any questions we had. We would 100% stay there again. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home. Kimmie was quick to respond to any questions we had. Home is well stocked with kitchen and bathroom necessities. Check out was a breeze. Would absolutely stay here again.

I really enjoyed Antonio's home in Citrus Springs it was so peaceful there the home was well stocked and super clean it was very well taken care of and I would definitely like to stay there again
