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!

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!

Beautiful home!! Quite neighborhood. Had a great time! Chelsea was great communicated well!!

The place is everything that we expected and more. It was like a resort. Everyone had a great time.

Easy access to the River. Boat dock had plenty of room for my 26ft boat. Enjoyed having the pool and loved the layout of the house. This is a good home for a family or even if you have a few more guest with the split floor plan. The kitchen has plenty of counter space for everything,Enjoyed the stay. Thanks!

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.

George's place was perfect for our family get together. The setting is so beautiful right on the river we brought our 17" Mako boat and enjoyed the river immensely. The master suite was perfect for my elderly parents with grab handles to help them get around. The boat ramp was 5min from the house and the dock in back of the house was accessible for my boat. The kitchen was well equipped with most anything you need to prepare meals. There is ample parking as well. George was very responsive with any communications we made. We even had to return for a forgotten item, they were waiting for us inside the front door. I highly recommend this place if you want a peaceful setting for family and fun and the time on the river is great. There are several kayaks, we did not use them since we had our boat but the river would be great for a kayak outing.

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

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's place was wonderful! Easy to find and quick to get inside once we arrived. You enter through the front door into the living room/kitchen. We loved how open the living space was and the couches were very comfortable. The TV tables were in the master closet and made a huge difference for those of us who wanted to enjoy their coffee on the couch. Plenty of pots/pans and dishes/cups/silverware. There isn't a dishwasher but you can watch TV while cleaning up which makes everything go faster! Bedrooms were comfy cozy right off the main living area. The master bathroom was absolutely incredible! Loved the shower and tub! The pool is out back and is semi private with tons of seating. There's a closet right off the living space with a ton of towels. Location was great for us. It was close to stores and gas stations for anything we needed. Jesus was helpful and quick to respond for any questions we had. Definitely recommend for your home away from home!

Really enjoyed our stay. The house had plenty of space and was very clean. Really enjoyed spending time in the pool.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

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!

Lovely place for a small group Memorial Day weekend getaway. Would definitely stay here again.

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

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

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!!

I had a fantastic stay at Alexa’s place in Ocala. The home was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing visit. Alexa was an exceptional host, friendly, responsive, and made check-in super easy. The location was peaceful yet close to great restaurants and everything Ocala has to offer. I especially appreciated the quiet surroundings and the welcoming touches that made it feel like home. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Alexa!

The kids loved the experience! We had an early morning Manatee tour in the area. The location was convenient for us!

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.

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.

This was our second time staying at the Blue Sea Cow. It was amazing the first time (3 years ago) and even better the second! This time we had a private fenced in yard which was perfect for our dog. You are walking distance from the water and near everything you could possibly need. Nellie has always been responsive when we had questions or needed assistance with the air bnb. I would stay here every time we visit Crystal River! If you are obsessed with manatees like I am this place is for you! Thank you Nellie!!
