Angler's Resort has been known to generations as a bass fishing resort, and as it celebrates its 50th birthday, it is taking on new life. Under new ownership, many improvements have been made with the construction of an entirely new motel called the Gator Den Motel, bait & tackle shop, and the selection of boat rentals as well as the new Blue Gator Tiki Bar & Restaurant right on the River.
The Gator Den Motel is on the banks of the Withlacoochee River, approximately 3/4 mile from where it is joined by the Rainbow River in Dunnellon, Florida. Dunnellon has long referred to itself as "the bass capital of the world". Fishermen continuously pull trophy-size, lunker bass from the dark waters of the Withlacoochee and the clear waters of the Rainbow Rivers.

Spent two nights at the Gator Den on site with Anglers resort! Very clean rooms, comfortable beds. Had dinner on their tiki bar on a very cold and brisk January evening. Chili and gator bites were really good and they had turned on the outdoor patio heaters to make sure we were comfortable. My daughter (22) and I were ski a diving Devil's Den and Rainbow springs (River) which are both amazing. We never rented boats or fished so can't rate that portion of their business. Friendly staff too.
Highly recommend this place.

We don't normally stay at little hotel/motels but we came into town to do the Withlacoochee bike trail and decided to take a chance on this place. Glad we did the rooms are newly renovated, spacious and clean. The big bonus is having the blue gator restaurant right next door. The price for room was very fair and the whole staff and owners are super nice. I would stay again if we traveled through this area. They also have air boat rides, boats to rent and fishing on the river.

10 of us friends rented a pontoon boat and spent the day cruising The Withlacoochee River and The Rainbow River. The rivers were busy with people in kayaks and floating along on tubes. Everyone seemed to be enjoying perfect Florida weather , the gentle breeze, birds in the area, the clear water and the blue blue Florida sky. Awesome.

We weren't familiar with the area, just passing thru and decided to check this place out for a couple of nights. The rooms were extremely clean and tile throughout. Nice layout with a restaurant right on property with live music. The owner and staff were very nice and accommodating. Also, gave boat rentals and tours of river. We would definitely recommend and stay again!

Very impressed with Angler's. It was very reasonably priced. The room had recently been renovated and was really nice. Tiled floors throughout. Large bathroom with a nice sized shower. Note we had the handicapped room though. We chose them for their location with a short drive to Stumpy's where you can take a bus to the river for tubing and the Blue Gator next door had a great night life and amazing food. I have a separate review for them. We loved the room but there were 2 things I think could be added; another floor light would be great. The nightstand lights were not enough by themselves
