We will be back!

We absolutely loved our first experience at Rainbow River! This property was the perfect location—peaceful, scenic, and right on the water. Our host was incredibly helpful, offering great tips for day trips and local activities.After one day of exploring, we quickly realized there was no need to leave—the property had everything we could want. With direct access to the river, we spent our days kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and swimming. It was the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even spoiled us with the best ribs we’ve ever eaten! We can’t wait to come back. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property! Location is perfect! Quiet yet close to town for any needs. The view of the river can be seen from inside or out. Large kitchen for cooking. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room to get away from each other if needed. Will definitely return!

Best hospitality on Rainbow

I’ve been coming to Rainbow River since I was a child. I started bringing my family when my son was five, at 15 years of age. Now we have rented yearly for the past 10 years at five different places to four different property owners. I can say hands down that these people are the nicest kindest, most helpful friendliest people that we’ve stayed at on the rainbow. The house is just a handful of homes away from the headspring. So you can kayak and drift all the way down the river and have a lovely time. It’s quiet it’s clean. It’s got lots of space. It may only have two bedrooms, but it can sleep a great amount of people the four of us slept there no problem. The kitchen has more than enough appliances and utensils. It’s got tons of stuff, including an air fryer. It has plenty of indoor and outdoor dining with the outdoor dining being covered and the gentleman just put a new deck in. We absolutely loved our stay. We prefer hard mattresses and the mattresses. There are a little softer, but other than that, I could not think of a single thing That was not absolutely wonderful if they had a six star option, I would take it.Don’t hesitate book here stay here you won’t regret it

Beautiful location on Rainbow River

The property was located directly on Rainbow River and was a great location with access to the water for kayaking and paddle boarding. The host was very nice and gave us complete privacy while at the property. The host was good about communications and quickly fixed a broken shower head when we let him know it wasn’t working. The only constructive input I’d give is the floors could’ve been a little cleaner, and a few small improvements like a rug at the French doors to wipe feet when coming in from the river (it rained quite a bit while we were there) so it would help keep floors cleaner. I was not a fan of needing to wash and dry the towels before vacating as we payed a cleaning fee of $150 but this is my fault for not reading the Rules fully ahead of time. We actually left the night before our departure date because it would have been a challenge to do the laundry (wash and dry) and leave by the time we planned. Overall, the property was nice and we enjoyed our time there.

River Time

We have enjoyed staying at this home away from home for the past 11 years. It is the perfect places to enjoy the river, a short kayak paddle to the head of the springs and floating back. Love starting our summer break here every year. The host great, anything we ask for they are there to help.

Perfect location on the Rainbow River

Beautiful location on the Rainbow River. Not far from the head springs. The house is an older home but meticulously maintained. Perfect spring break getaway for our family of four, (kids 13 and 10). The hosts provided everything you need to enjoy the house and the river-kayaks, tubes etc and a stunning location with steps leading down into the cool clear waters of the river. We really enjoyed our stay and are already talking about when we can book our next trip!
