About this property

Rustic Mountain Lakefront Cottage

Get away from it all at our rustic mountain lake front cottage on Pine Island Circle. Spacious, wooded and VERY private lot, long circular driveway great for lots of parking and stone path from house to water and a large boat dock. Renovated and updated bathroom. Large boat dock for lounge chairs, tying up three to four boats (with electrical outlet to charge batteries). GREAT fishing spot on Pine Island where many fishing tournaments have been won!
WIFI and Cable TV.
Large wooden deck with built-in seating and 15 foot long picnic table. Adjoining patio has charcoal grill, picnic table and fire pit. We are at the center of a quiet bay which opens into the main channel of Guntersville Lake. Easy access to nearby public launches on either side of property 2 miles away including Waterfront Bay Grocery, Tackle and Launch 2 miles down the street. We are located off Highway 79 between Guntersville and Scottsboro.

Great place to stay for a fishing trip!!
Great place to stay for a fishing trip!! The inside of the house was clean and as described. There is a boat dock with a boat house you are able to tie to, but…. You are not able to pull into the boat house. Being able to pull into the boat house would have been convenient. Other than that… great place to stay for a group of fisherman!!!

A great place to stay!
We had a great time staying by the water and loved the old feel of the house! We hope to possibly get to stay in the future! The host was kind and helpful with anything we needed and texted back fast. I would very much recommend this place!

Exceptional Value
This location is stunning. My husband and I have stayed at “fancier” vacation rentals, yet there is something charming about this place that will keep us coming back. For the price, this is a great getaway. The location is serene, private, and quiet. Our goldendoodles had the times of their lives. They were able to jump in the water and splash around. Also, the water pressure was something to write home about as well. Perfect for cleaning pups after a day of frolicking by the lake. The kitchen has plenty of space if you have cooking in mind.

Not what I expected
I rented this property for a weekend getaway at the lake with my wife and daughter and was pretty disappointed at the condition it was in. It smelled musty, the bathroom sink is barely hanging on to the wall, there is mold and water spots on the ceiling, the floor is soft in some spots, and the outside was falling apart with weeds taking over. If the owner would just invest a little money to update and fix this place up a bit it would be an awesome rental. There's a reason why it's one of the cheapest rentals on the lake.

We enjoyed our stay. The wooded lot blocks The views of other homes so you can enjoy just looking at the lake and some privacy. The cottage was very clean, stocked with everything needed.

The rustic lake house.
Rustic is an appropriate descriptor. And it was accurately described in the listing. It would be helpful if the light switches were labeled. I was unable to get the lights on in the driveway. The one statement in the listing that I disagree with is the statement that it is handicap accessible. I disagree. The front entry is sloped toward the door and there is no handrail. Also the broken tiles at the entrance to the kitchen offer awkward footing. And the threshold between the kitchen and the living room would definitely be a tripping hazard for a person with mobility issues. Also check-in time is listed at 4:00 and yet the cleaning lady was still there until nearly 4:40.

Great short stay
We only stayed 2 nights for a fishing trip, but we loved it! It is an older cabin, but was very clean and comfortable. Easy access and adequate parking for our boat. The owner was easy very responsive and informative. We will definitely rent again.

Even Helene couldn't ruin our fun
Our 3rd stay here. Had a great time, caught some really nice bass. Had to cut our fishing short when Hurricane Helene dumped rain and blew like crazy. But that did give us the opportunity to go to Cathedral Caverns State Park. Lost power for a little over an hour, the owners were great keeping in touch. Looking forward to next year!

As Advertised
Rustic as advertised. Easy walk to the dock. Our dogs loved the property. Everything worked correctly. Thanks for the heads up about the Keurig, we took our Mr. Coffee. No problem. Some bowls suitable for cereal or oatmeal would have been nice.

What makes this property unique

Views of the lake are great within this secluded, shaded lot. Makes you feel like you are at the lake all by yourself and just seconds from catching fish or sun.
