Shoal Creek Lakehouse

This is a FABULOUS house. I have to say it is the most well stocked vacation house I have ever stayed at. The view was awesome. The guys caught several bass and catfish. We grilled fish on cedar planks during our stay and they were fantastic. The beds were so comfortable. We enjoyed every morning sitting on the deck with our coffee. The owner was very helpful with our check in. The only advise I can offer for anyone bringing a boat is to put it in at the Shaffy's Marina before coming to the house. We love the Florence area and would recommend this house to anyone. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Delightful home in Lake Wilson

From my initial contact to final communication, Bill was delightful and responsive. The home is lovely! Beds are very comfy, the furnishings high end and it is the best stocked home I’ve ever rented! We had lousy weather and could have cared less because we were happy inside, and being literally on the lake made the views of the storms amazing. We had a great time and I highly recommend the home and the area. I plan on coming back!

Great Family Vacation - right on the lake

Property was just what we were looking for. The only reason for being a 4 instead of a 5 is that initially we were under the impression that the boat lift was available for us to use but it is where the owner stores his boat. The second item is that the drive is very narrow and with a 22' boat behind us it was difficult to turn around. I recommend launching your boat prior to pulling down into the drive. Once we had the boat in the water we had no issues securing up to the waterfront dock. But after working through that, the trip met all of our expectations - fully stocked, very comfortable, great beds. Will absolutely rent it again!

Great vacation spot.

Loved this property! The view was great. The house was very clean and spacious for the 6 of us. The kitchen was well supplied and the internet worked great. And we each had a nice comfortable bed. It's right on the water and everyone enjoyed fishing off the lower deck. Thanks for sharing your home!! I would suggest you change WiFi password to lowercase on sheet on refrig since uppercase doesn't work.

Relaxing family time

We had a great 10 days relaxing and hanging out with family. We highly recommend this house. It’s even better in person and decorated perfectly. The beds are super comfy. There was space for everyone to spread out and lots of areas to gather. We fished, swam off the dock, and used the double kayak to explore the shoreline. The kitchen was really well outfitted and had everything we needed. We cooked many meals but also enjoyed Rosie’s Mexican Cantina, River Bottom Grill, the Rattlesnake Saloon, and Newbern’s Catfish. All were great (and felt safe with tables spread apart during Covid). We also managed to visit a few waterfalls, Helen Keller’s home, and the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. Great vacation! Thanks for sharing your lake house and we hope to return some day.

Amazing lake home experience!

This truly is a amazing place! It was extremely comfortable and clean and has everything you need for a wonderful stay. The views are amazing from every room and the deck leads right to the water where we kept our boat. The kids really enjoyed jumping from the deck into the water and we also really enjoyed fishing from the deck. The boys caught some really nice catfish and a few bream. The outdoor living space is where we spent most of our time hanging out and enjoying the views. It was also convenient to have the boat ramp right next door to load and unload the boat. The only complaint we had about this amazing place was that we had to leave! We are really looking forward to next year so we can come back and visit. Next time we plan on staying longer . Thank you for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home!

About the host

Hosted by Bill Gobble

This has been out family vacation home for the past 19 years. Our children are older with children of their own now. Their hectic schedules don't allow them to visit as often. We decided to let guests enjoy this property as much as we have over the years,

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

This lake property sits directly over the waters edge. No where else can you sit in a easy chair inside the climate controlled house and feel like your actually on a large boat just by looking out the windows. There is a ring doorbell camera on the front door facing the water and a camera in the carport facing east. We do not record video after guest arrive.
