Rainbow River Retreat + Minigolf

Welcome to Rainbow River Retreat, a peaceful hideaway at the end of a quiet road along one of Florida’s most beautiful spring-fed rivers. Set just beyond the busy tubing areas, the home offers true privacy while still offering you a waterfront view of the Rainbow River (kayaks included). With 5.7 miles of crystal-clear, 72-degree water at your doorstep, it’s the perfect setting for endless adventure.

This spacious riverfront property features 3 bedrooms, 5 beds, and 3 bathrooms, offering plenty of room for families and groups. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living areas, and a relaxed downstairs patio ideal for unwinding after a day on the water.

Step outside, grab a kayak, and walk just moments to the river’s edge. You’ll drift through a living aquarium—otters playing, turtles sunning on logs, and fish gliding through glass-clear springs. It’s a quiet slice of old Florida you can truly call your own.

Guests also receive access to a private community park with a gated boat ramp, pavilions, restrooms, ample parking, fishing poles, river floats, and a beach volleyball net—perfect for both fun-filled days and easy river launches.

Located at the midpoint of the Rainbow River float route, the home offers convenient access for tubing or relaxed downstream trips. KP Hole is about 2.5 hours upriver, making the full KP Hole-to-bridge float approximately 4 hours. From the house, you can simply float 2 hours downriver to the bridge.

Rainbow River Retreat is ideally located: about 35 minutes from Ocala and the World Equestrian Center, 40 minutes from the Gulf Coast, 1.5 hours from Tampa and Orlando, and just 1 hour from Gainesville and the University of Florida.
