About this property

Beautiful Lakefront Family Retreat! Pet Friendly, Canoes Included, Sleeps 28+

Take advantage of this spacious 8 bedroom / 3 level lake house which has a beautiful view of Lake Wedowee. We are pet friendly! Enjoy your privacy in this spacious home. The home has 8 comfortable bedrooms, 15 beds and 4 baths. Easily sleeps 28 but can sleep more if you have small children. There are plenty of sofas to lounge on and sleep in as well. We offer a 5% discount on a full week's stay and a 10% discount for the whole month!

Enjoy family time in an open kitchen with a large pantry stocked with the necessities such as coffee, coffee makers (two 12 cup drip), and Keurig pods, cookware, large serving pans, silverware, wine/regular glasses, blender, basic seasonings, paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, etc. This should be enough to get your stay started off comfortably, and possibly for the entire trip. The home has two washers and three dryers which is great for large families. High speed internet, three large TVs, ESPN and other streaming outlets.

We want to be considerate of all of our guests so we do ask if you bring pets that they don't sleep on the beds please.

The home has beautiful tile and hardwood. The balcony, upper-level porch (unscreened) and carefully designed places within the home are a delight to sit back in a comfy chair, sip your drink of choice and enjoy the lake. The upper balcony has two picnic tables as well as chairs with gas grill (gas provided). There is a foosball table upstairs as well for the kids. The lower-level porch (unscreened) has a hammock swing with chairs and tables to sit back and listen to the birds chirp. Cornhole bean bag toss boards and horseshoes are also available.

If you like smoking meat, a giant smoker is on the property. Feel free to bring your favorite flavor of smoking wood and have fun! It’s perfect for vacations or football weekends to watch your favorite teams by the water.

One canoe and one “John Boat” (similar to a canoe) are included for you to paddle around on the beautiful water. Dock is attached for you to swim around and sunbathe. We also include a giant floating mat you can attach to the dock, as well as inner tubes to float on. Beach towels are included for your stay.

Pontoon boats for cruising or tubing, as well as bass fishing boats are available for rent. Tubes are also available for rent. The boat rental owners are super nice and helpful. The boat can be picked up at the marina or they'll deliver to the house for a small fee.

You are welcome to bring your own boat or pontoon and tie up to our dock. You’ll have access to the private community boat ramp.

We are retired restaurant owners so the house has pictures of some of our menu items which we took out of our old business. They brighten up the home and will probably make you hungry! 😊

We leave our Christmas tree up all year long because hey, every day is like Christmas morning at the lake (also great for weekends around the holidays!).

The main floor of the house has a large open room with high ceilings. The kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances is fully equipped for your stay. Everything you need to whip up a great meal is there. Large gas grill is just outside on the porch.

A breakfast room that’s perfect for breakfast or playing cards and boardgame while you look out over the lake. Across from the kitchen is a full bathroom.

The dining room seats 10+. A sofa and flatscreen TV are also in this large area.

Around the corner you will find the spacious master bedroom with a king bed and private bathroom with a shower and bathtub. Large flat screen TV in the master as well.
The guest bedroom on the main floor is a full-sized bed and very cozy.

A large laundry room with two washers and three dryers is downstairs.

The downstairs den has a large flatscreen and big, comfy couches. You’ll also find a second kitchen with a refrigerator, dishwasher and sink here as well.

Around the corner are two guest bedrooms and a full bath… one guestroom has two full-sized beds and the other has two queen beds.

Go upstairs to the third level and you’ll find four more bedrooms and a full bath. The first room has a full-sized bed. The second has two queen beds, the third is a giant room with three king-sized mattresses and one full-sized mattress, a large flatscreen TV and a sink. You can access the fourth bedroom through the giant room. The fourth smaller bedroom has two twin beds inside.

An extra twin mattress is available if needed.

Our cove is residential and has several year-round residents. We ask our guests to respect the peace and quiet our residents enjoy. Loud outdoor parties are not appropriate.

The nearest marina is about 30 minutes away on the water… just past the 48 bridge. They have gas pumps open seven days during the summer months. 6 days in the fall and winter.

Restaurants in town as well, however admittedly scarce. Nearby from two grocery stores in the town of Wedowee (~15 minutes), Roanoke (~30 minutes) and Anniston (~60 minutes).

About Lake Wedowee—

Lake Wedowee, technically “RL Harris Reservoir” was created in the 80’s by Alabama Power. It’s 10,000 acres (1/4 the size of Lake Lanier north of Atlanta or Lake Martin near Montgomery) and was formed from a deep river channel of the Tallapoosa River. The water is very deep, and very clear. At our south end of the lake, hundred foot depths are the norm.

Alabama Power lowers the water level about 8’ staring in early October until late April. It does affect the appearance of the shoreline somewhat. Our dock does remains floating. The lake in the winter is special. Incredibly quiet and peaceful.

We welcome you to our slice of paradise!

Annual Wedowee Family Vacation
We loved our time at this house and on Lake Wedowee. It was perfect for our large family. We enjoyed the easy access to the community boat ramp, the steps leading to the dock from the home were not too steep. The house was roomy for our family of 20. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Surprise 90th birthday weekend!
This property is perfect for big family gatherings! It was wonderful to have the long table in the main living room for a big group game times, and meals on the rainy days! The view and access to the lake was great- we were thrilled to be able to use the two kayaks and canoes on the sunny days! Our family also enjoyed the fire pit and a long morning walk around the neighborhood! We made wonderful memories and plan to come back when she turns 100!

Awesome house
Stayed at the house this past weekend with 15 people in our group. We were down for a game weekend in Auburn and the drive is manageable (about 1-1.5 hours). The house is fantastic, tons of room and right on the water. Highly recommended for large groups and we'll definitely be back

Family Reunion at Lake Wedowee
We had a wonderful stay at Lake Wedowee. The property was perfect for our family reunion. Everyone had a wonderful experience at the lake swimming, boating, kayaking, and paddle boarding during our week long stay.

Fantastic Family Vacation
The house and grounds were just as we expected and more. The seclusion of the cove fit us perfectly. The children could play in the water without the worry of a jet ski or boat flying thru. The host was phenomenal. He rapidly replied to any questions or concerns. Fantastic vacation.

PARADISE FOR LARGE GROUPS
The surroundings are private and beautiful. The house has everything necessary for a large group such as a multi-generation family reunion. The kitchen has PLENTY of plates, bowls, glasses, flatware, etc + every cooking utensil/baking dish we could think of. The miltiple living areas made it possible for different age groups to do their own thing. Morning coffee can be enjoyed on one of the porches overlooking the lake and trees. Bird watching is great; a great heron visited the dock for a couple of hours one day. Our group loved the fact that there was room for everybody at one table. Also, Christmas in July was our theme this year so the Christmas tree was great for our Chinese gift exchange and singing. This property can't be beat for a beautiful setting offering everything a large group needs .

Family weekend at the lake
We had a great time with our extended family. The house had plenty of room for everyone and we loved that there were ample towels and beach towels. We used the boat and canoe and had a blast in the water. We also loved using the smoker for a family bbq. David was so great answering questions prior to our trip and also checking in with us to make sure all was going well. We would definitely come back!!

Wonderful family getaway lots of room for everyone
We hosted a 79th birthday party for my father here with all of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. The house was wonderfully stocked with towels, linens, toys and plenty of seating. The upper porch quickly became a great hangout, second only to the dock. There was plenty of space for all 21 of us! We are working out the details to book again for next year. The owner communicated well and was super responsive to all my questions prior to arrival and checked in with me once we were on property. If you are reading reviews to decide if you want to book this property - book it! We will definitely be back!
