Relaxing Stay on the Lake

Our family enjoyed our stay on the lake. The cabin is charming and comfortable. The dock is perfect for sitting with a drink and a book. I enjoyed the swing looking out at the view. Little dog enjoyed all the smells and the sticks.I highly recommend the shower experience—tons of hot water and excellent pressure.

Beautiful Property

This was a great property for our 2 families and our fur babies! Our pet sitter fell through at the last minute and Russ was so accommodating. The properties were so cute and charming. We did a puzzle upstairs and watched the hawks, ducks, and fish from upstairs. Would definitely rent again!

Nice lil’ getaway…

It was a nice, cozy little cabin. A lot of things that we would’ve needed (toiletries, paper towels, paper plates, etc.) were provided. They even had us a little basket of snacks, along with some cold waters in the fridge. Very thoughtful & convenient!!! We enjoyed our stay!

Lake Guntersville in November

We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed our stay at this cabin and the pictures are accurate. The boathouse and use of the lift was very handy and an important factor in our selecting this place. For the price, we were very pleased. The weather was great and fishing was good! It is a downstairs unit but no one is staying upstairs. So we had the place to ourselves. A couple of things to note, the two single beds are in the main living area. The sink is a laundry sink around the corner from the stove. We ate out once a day with only breakfast in the unit. It has some cooking items - like small frying pans but it doesn't have lots of kitchen appliances (like a toaster) if you plan on a lot of cooking. Treats/Snacks are left for your use - a very nice touch! The floor is painted cement with rugs on it. The walls are painted cement blocks. The chairs are well used but comfortable. We weren't expecting posh accommodations and enjoyed the place. It has fabulous views and good parking. The new dock is great. The owner was very easy to work with and we were happy. We enjoyed the new City Harbor just across the lake with boat parking.

Family Getaway

This was such a nice cabin and just the right size for my family of four . We had the perfect view of the water and the location of the property was within just a few miles of all the local restaurants and attractions. The nicest part about this cabin is the owner goes the extra mile to ensure you have a nice stay and ensure you are comfortable with all the essentials you may need for your stay. I would definitely stay here again .
