Amazing experience

We can't say enough good things about the property and the hosts! Chris and Al made us feel like family. The house is the best appointed out of any VRBO we've booked in the last 10 years. Comfortable beds and furniture with high-quality linens and appliances. Tons of information available about local restaurants and tourism. Everyone in the neighborhood is friendly and made us feel at home. Our dog made lots of friends with the neighborhood pups, especially Chris and Al's dog, Nellie. We're looking forward to going back to visit again.

Just like home

There are no words to describe how we felt staying here - it was almost like being in the home of a family member who loved you very much. Everything we could ask for was at our disposal. The pantry was stocked - beyond the usual staples you find at a rental property. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed. Attention to detail doesn't convey what I want to say. Family members who visited us during our stay were impressed. We grilled on the patio and cooked most meals at the house. The weather wasn't on our side and we didn't venture outside much, but the views of the water from the house were spectacular. We want to return as soon as possible.

Very nice

We were there for a 2 day fishing tournament and this place was perfect. I had no concerns about my boat and gear. We felt safe and secured. We will definitely be back if we are fishing here next year. Thanks.

Great place for R & R

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend here. The house was so nice & was extremely well stocked. We really loved spending time in the screened-in porch. The view was beautiful. Chris & Al were so attentive. They even helped with getting our boat in & out of the water & allowed us to use their covered slip. Their dogs, Chipper & Nellie, are fun! We definitely plan to go back.

Wonderful lake house

Everything exceeding our expectations! Quiet neighborhood. Comfy beds and furniture. Many extra supplies provided. Fully equipped kitchen. I felt welcomed like family. Back porch alone was worth the cost! Lake is beautiful. Had a great time kayaking to the middle and jumping out to swim. Would definitely do it again. Thank you, Chris and Al, for sharing such a wonderful place.

Family Gathering Get-away

What an awesome place! We booked the house for a family reunion in the area but it turned out to be much more. We enjoyed doing Everything from yoga to fishing off of on their deck. The screen in porch was extremely nice and we spent many enjoyable afternoons. Their grill worked excellent for cooking the 20 lbs of chickens for the family reunion. The beds were super comfortable and we had a lot of amenities. The owner Chris was supper helpful! She even help us find worms for fishing. This house was like a home away from home. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with me and my family.

The Best!!!

All our VRBO experiences have been excellent. Our stay at Chris & Al's river home was BY FAR the BEST!!! The house was awesome; very clean, comfortable, very, very well supplied....(read the other reviews for more descriptions of this exceptional rental). However, it is the hosts, Chris & Al, that make it so exceptional. I felt downright pampered I was cared for so well. No wonder this VRBO stays booked. Thank you, Chris & Al, for a needed get-a-way that was perfect and more!

Beautiful and friendly views

We came in town for Thanksgiving and Chris was wonderful about checking immediately that everything was good with the house. There was everything you might need in case you forgot-coffee, teas and toiletries. Beautiful dock and back porch very quiet neighborhood with beautiful views of the water from the front and back of the house. We slept so good my husband insisted I ask what mattresses were on the beds!

Mom/sisters girls trip

This trip was a wish my 82 year old mother wanted to have with her 3 daughters. We had an absolutely perfect girls trip! Chris and Al could not have been more attentive and helpful! Their restaurant suggestions were perfect! The house had everything you could possibly ever need! Not to mention the beautiful lake view! Hopefully we will be able to visit again.

Great Vacation Rental House

Loved this place! The house was charming and well-kept. The lake and pier were beautiful. Chris and Al, the owners, were friendly and attentive to our every need. We've stayed in lots of vacation rentals, but this one by far had everything you could need and more. Wish we could have told Chris and Al good-bye, but we left early in the morning. We would stay here again!

Wonderful get-away with friends

Chris and Al have a greatVRBO in a beautiful and quiet cove on Wilson Lake. The home is wonderfully stocked with absolutely anything you might need and is extremely comfortable—great beds, great shower and spacious. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch and on the dock. Both had great views of the lake. Chris and Al live in the house next door and were responsive if we had questions or needed anything. Wonderful VRBO and a wonderful time was had by all! We will be back!

We spent a relaxing week on the shore of Wilson Lake. The home is equipped with everything you need to be comfortable. We enjoyed lounging on the screened porch as well as the dock. The hosts were cordial, inviting, and available. We will be back to this wonderful home on the lake.

Best Time Ever

Chris and Al are the best hosts we have ever encountered! The house was clean and had every possible thing you could need to be comfortable inside and out, but what made our stay was the way that they went out of their way to accommodate and ensure we had a good time despite the weather!! Their kindness and generosity will remain the best memory of our trip!!! We highly recommend this property and we will be back!!!

About the host

Hosted by CHRIS

Chris and Al met in the Dallas, TX area, married and when we retired we moved back to Al's home (where his heart never left). We bought his grandmother's home and built another. We love to share that which we love so dearly.

Why they chose this property

This property is the perfect slice of heaven. Every season is picturesque in this lakeside community. Sunsets on the river can be breathtaking but there are also an abundance of stars at night, owls hooting, mocking birds, cardinals, deer grazing, cotton and corn fields, wildflowers, geese, ducks, egrets, eagles, hummingbirds, turtles, muskrat, fox, beaver, chipmunks, raccoons, armadillo....... it goes on and on. Ohhhh and the fishing is pretty darn awesome!

What makes this property unique

Just steps from the water. Come in by boat or by land. We offer kayaks with a signed waiver and we have some floats available for just lounging in the lake. Check with us about the possibility of a pontoon rental. Fish right off the pier. Relax on a hammock, grill your meals on the back porch on a propane grill or smoker. Enjoy toasting marshmallows at the chiminea. Did I mention that you are surrounded by history, whether you have an interest in barn quilts, Civil War, Indian sites, the Natchez Trace, locks and dams, Amish tours, Music history, University of Alabama or just the cute town of Florence, Alabama. It’s all here or not too far away!
