About this property

Cozy Cabin on the River

Come and enjoy a few nights of fun and fishing on the historical Fish River. This centrally located property is a mere 15 minutes from the beautiful town of Fairhope and it is approximately 30 minutes away from the white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Our comfy river cabin includes 1 bed/ 1bath and is able to comfortably sleep two adults. The kitchen is fully functional as well as an outdoor charcoal grill. A large covered porch is an inviting place to sit, relax, and enjoy the view of the river. It is intentionally positioned on Fish River basin, which gives you a great deal of privacy while also being a stones-throw away from the main river. The cabin does not sit on the water. but our beautiful boathouse provides ample water access. We have a long pier for fishing and swimming, as well as a beautiful boathouse. We have a place to launch kayaks or other small boats as well as the perfect place for swimming. This prime Fish River location gives you access to some of the best fishing Baldwin County has to offer. This river’s name is no coincidence because it is chock-full of redfish, speckle trout, and even dolphins from time to time. Come and see what all of the fuss is about at The Cabin on Fish River.

weekend getaway
We enjoyed our weekend kid free getaway. It was quiet and just the relaxation we needed. We had some great food and enjoyed kayaking to Big Daddy's Grill. We even decided to go for a dip and had a dolphin swim up in the cove. It was an enjoyable weekend.

The cabin was nice and the boat house even nicer. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing and biking. We ate at Jesses in Magnolia springs, Big Daddy’s near the cabin and Gambinos in Fairhope.

Amazing location
We loved the entire experience. The house was great with plenty of amenities. The boat house was amazing with tons of access to the water. We swam, fished, grilled, and kayaked every day. The sunsets are beautiful overlooking the river. We will book this property again!!!

Relaxing and quiet
This was a wonderful place to spend a long weekend! The house was small, but perfect for 2 people. We spent most of our time down at the dock fishing or laying in the sun and reading on the top dock. Close enough to food and entertainment, but far enough to feel like a getaway. Susan was a great host and kept us updated as our trip approached. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful and relaxing anniversary celebration
Peaceful and relaxing anniversary celebration♥️We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful cozy and relaxing place than cozy cabin on Fish river. Enjoyed relaxing at the beautiful boathouse & looking out at the river kayaking and swimming. Inside the cabin was always comfortably cool and very cozy as well as comfortable bed. We loved this area because it was very private and we love the fact that we didn’t have to go far to visit a lot of places around us (Fairhope, Ft. Morgan, Gulf Shores beach) and eat at some really good restaurants! The only regret we had was that we did not bring our little boat with us to ride this beautiful river but will next time! Thank you Susan for letting us experience such a beautiful little place!

3 Day Getaway
Tina and I enjoy this Cabin. We consider it our Getaway spot. We did a quick trip to the area, so we could eat at Lambert's and Another Broken Egg 😋. Other than that, we stayed and chilled out at the Cabin. We definitely will be back.

Great getaway
Had a great time, walked in the door to beautiful flowers on the table. I loved that. Very nicely decorated and had everything youd need. Very clean. Bed & pillows comfortable, slept very well. Kayaks, paddle boards, fishing poles on site. The 2 story boat dock was perfect. Had a wonderful afternoon hanging out, grilling, snacking and playing. I highly recommend.

GREAT QUIET PLACE
The boathouse is fabulous, just wish the fish had been biting. The accommodations were very good. Bed was very comfy. Only thing missing was washer and dryer but kitchen was fully stocked. The only suggestion I have is cutting back on spraying or washing the bed covers in some kind of scent,

Why they chose this property

We have always wanted to own property on Fish River. The cabin is in very close proximity to our primary residence which makes it an ideal get-away.

What makes this property unique

The property is located in a basin which provides a more private setting, while the main river is a mere one hundred feet away. A small sand bar is located near the basin which can be enjoyed during low tide. The scenery from the boat house as well as the cabin provides an up close view of an estuary protected for generations.
