Spacious and good for teens!

Really nice sized yard for entertaining. Lots of things to do for kids and teens and plenty of space for sleeping a large group. Good fair pricing so don’t expect upscale amenities but we had all we needed. Only thing that could be better is if the cove had enough water to park a boat at the dock, but that’s beyond the owners control.

Great family weekend!

The house was perfect for our group..more than enough space, very clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. This isn’t a place for swimming and as mentioned in a previous review the fishing is limited due to water conditions ..however there are beach areas just a short drive away to enjoy those activities as well as splash pads in the area to take the kids to play. Great hospitality was extended to us by the host!

Family vacation

We take an annual family vacation and this year chose Lake Guntersville. Property was very large and spacious. We did have issues with wasps when we arrived but the brave men in our group took care of them swiftly and easily!!! Waterfront was beautiful. Not the best neighborhood but was centrally located to restaurants, marinas and entertainment. We enjoyed it and would highly recommend!!
