About Us

Angler's Resort was built in 1950, with the motel rooms added in 1957. It is on the banks of the beautiful Withlacoochee River, near the mouth of the Rainbow River, in the small town of Dunnellon, Florida.

Ownership of the resort has expanded now to include Capt. Bob and Dallise Jewett, as well as Capt. Jon Semmes and Ingrid Ellis. We're excited about the new partnership, and have been working on many improvements and renovations to better serve our customers, including the addition of The Blue Gator, a tiki bar & restaurant, offering great food, cold beer, a relaxing atmosphere, live music, and good times.

Angler's Resort offers nine refurbished motel rooms, most with kitchenettes; a full service fully renovated bait and tackle shop; kerosene and propane; boat rentals, including pontoon, jon boats, canoes, and kayaks; fishing guide service; airboat tours, and pontoon boat river tours for those who want to witness the beauty of the rivers.
