Cool Off in Your Private Screened Pool </strong> </p> <p> <span> After a day of exploring, there’s nothing better than coming back to your own private pool.

Bike the Withlacoochee State Trail </strong> </p> <p> <span> Start right in downtown Inverness! This 46-mile paved trail runs through beautiful forests, past lakes, and offers stunning scenery. Rent bikes nearby and ride as much or as little as you like. </span> </p> <p> <strong> 3. Swim with Manatees in Crystal River </strong> </p> <p> <span> Just a 20–30 minute drive away is one of the only places in the world where you can legally swim with manatees. Book a small-group tour and return to your private pool to relax. </span> </p> <p> <strong> 4. Kayak or Paddleboard on the Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes </strong> </p> <p> <span> Many of our homes are close to boat ramps. Rent kayaks or bring your own and enjoy the peaceful chain of lakes right near Inverness. </span> </p> <p> <strong> 5.

Many guests go out for the day and come back to grill their fresh catch by the pool. </span> </p> <p> <strong> 8. Artifact Hunting &amp; Fossil Collecting </strong> </p> <p> <span> The Inverness area is known for ancient artifacts.
