Top-rated waterfront accommodation in Lake Rousseau
Guests agree: These waterfront accommodation options are highly rated for location, cleanliness and more.

The Lakeside River House
The cottage lies on the banks of Lake Rousseau. This is a very interesting lake. The lake is fed by the crystal clear waters of the Rainbow Springs system and the dark tannin stained waters of the Withlacoochee River. Back in the 1930's, the water shed was dammed up on its far western edge. The result was a creation of a 12 mile long lake with a river twisting through the center, all of which you will enjoy from your waters edge dock. Come and enjoy the Nature Coast right from the backyard.

Perhaps some corn hole or football on the manicured lawn if you are not too mesmerized by the sun glistening off of the water, the birds landing on the lake, or the many 300 y.o. Live Oak trees with Spanish moss that provide shade and filtered sunlight ☀Grill and then end the day with Sunset, peaceful sounds and S'mores on your bonfire
