Summary: We were there to celebrate a 50th birthday party. The house and property were amazing. Kitchen was more than fully stocked with anything you could need for cooking meals. The dock and backyard area were beautiful. We also had tons of things for enjoying the water. Canoes, paddleboards, floats, etc. Would definitely recommend!

Summary: We had such a great stay! It’s very relaxing and the house is so comfortable. Loved all the wildlife, especially the otters. The rope swing was so fun. Also, enjoyed our family kayak trip. We enjoyed dinners at the Front Porch and Swampy’s. Grilled and ate other meals in the well equipped kitchen. Will definitely come back!

Summary: We had a great time at this lovely home! Big enough for our family of 7, and directly on a wonderful part of the river! Conveniently located as well.
Joshua L. Apr 26, 2025 05:26:18 AM
Summary: Can’t say enough about this property. Our family had an amazing stay on Rainbow River. Fishing (and catching!), paddle boarding, kayaking, turtle watching, star gazing, rope swinging, grilling - the list goes on! Can’t wait to come back - 10 out of 10 recommend!
Carol Ann B. Mar 23, 2025 07:31:41 AM
Summary: Our grandchildren had spring break this week. They are 7, 8, and 10 years old. They had a great time. We kayaked, paddle boarded, swam every day off the dock, fished off the dock, and the kids loved the rope swing.The house was clean and all set up for our arrival. The kitchen was very well stocked so we did most of our cooking at home.It is conveniently located to a number of restaurants and major grocery stores. Also, paddling up the crystal clear Rainbow River was a dream come true.Katie, our hostess, was very responsive (and quick) when I had a question.I would (and will) recommend it to friends and family. An excellent, peaceful, beautiful place to stay.
Amy V. Mar 19, 2025 01:06:13 AM
Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Palm Waters Riverhouse! The house is beautiful, well laid out, and well supplied. We had 8 people all together and there were enough kayaks, tube, and canoe for all of us to get on the river. We enjoyed the dock, hammock, and swing along with the firepit at night. The screened in porch provided a great spot to read and listen to the rain on while the foosball table kept the kids busy on a rainy afternoon. We saw lots of wildlife: cormorants, snowy egrets, even baby sand hill cranes, along with lots of turtles and a few otters! Overall, I would highly recommend this place. Thanks Katie and Brock for an easy and enjoyable getaway!
