Weiss Lake Site-Built Home on Seasonal Water with Boat Ramp and Private Dock

PLEASE READ OUR ENTIRE AD CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING!

Lakefront! EV charger! Gigabit fiber Internet! Game room!

Welcome to our one-level lake front, site-built home on Weiss Lake in Little Nose Slough directly on seasonal water. Our large 1+ acre lot features private boat ramp, dock, and beautiful, mostly level yard with very gentle slope to the water. We're located on a dead-end road just 5 minutes to town. Our home is super-convenient with great neighbors and is very peaceful. We are also just 4 minutes to the nearest public boat ramp!

We have recently added a game room! There's Mortal Kombat multi-cade with 12 classic games, a Pacman console with 12 glassic games, a digital Mars Attack pinball with 10 classic games that is really fun to play, along with the PS3 for indoor entertainment! In this room is also a sleeper chair that can seat up to two people that pulls out to a twin bed.

**Max of 7 people. NO PETS / animals, due to owners' health concerns / serious allergies that could lead to our child's hospitalization. Positive government issued ID must be provided to host for EACH adult in your group prior to checking in. No parties / events. No children under the age of 3 without consent (message us to discuss), as our home is not baby proof / toddler proof. No smoking.** Note we have outdoor cameras but respect your privacy and none are indoors.**

At the water's edge you'll find a large dock and private boat ramp with an average depth of 3' of water around our dock during full pool (levels drop in the off season with very shallow but visible water from our dock, so please inquire). Our boat ramp is suitable for most average bass boats and shallow draft boats or small pontoons, but some longer boats may need to be angled in for unloading (we unload a 19' aluminum deck boat with no problem, but we do have to angle our trailer in to avoid the dock at the back, but it is pretty easy). We have a sea wall, boat ramp, dock, and even a fish cleaning station with running water.

Our home is a one level site-built home with central heating and air conditioning, along with wall natural gas heaters for backup heat just in case (but we also have an automatic whole house generator for in the event the power goes out during your stay). There are very few steps in our home, with approximately 1800 sq ft of finished, heated living space and a large carport outside.

The home features a full kitchen with stainless appliances, fridge with filtered water and ice maker, microwave, Ninja Blender, a Keurig style coffee maker with coffee provided, dish washer, and plenty of counter space and cabinets. While we don't have a large dining area, we do have a very small bistro style table in the kitchen suitable for 2-3 plus a bar seating area suitable for another 2 guests. The kitchen is open directly to the living room, so you never feel disconnected.

The cozy living room features exposed beams and cathedral ceilings with a large flat screen Roku smart TV and large sectional leather sofa with recliners on the ends (and there are two together on one end so you can sit with your honey). We provide fast and free Gigabit fiber wifi Internet access strong enough to stream multiple TVs with no problem, along with access to various free Roku apps with tons of content, or you can log in to your own personal premium subscriptions like Netflix or other accounts and watch them on our TVs. The living room also includes a desk / work area suitable for your laptop if you need to get a few things done while everyone else hits the lake.

There's also a cased opening leading to a very large sun room on the back with a wall of windows. This is a great area for sitting and relaxing with a view of the lake and back yard, best enjoyed during cooler months or having coffee in the mornings . . . but we might also suggest the dock or gazebo.

The master bedroom is huge with a comfy king bed with new Zinus 12" Euro Top Pocket Spring hybrid mattress from Amazon (which by itself is on the firm side, but we have added a nice memory foam topper for extra comfort and flexibility, which can be removed if you prefer your mattress firm), and your own private en suite full bath with tub / shower combo. Also in the master bedroom is a pull out twin bed for an additional guest should you need it. There are also a couple of nice sitting chairs.

The guest bedroom is split from the master opposite the living room and features a typical queen bed with direct access to the sun room, just off a sliding glass door and is near the full guest bath with tub / shower combo.

The sun room has two "extra" twin beds in a trundle configuration and could double as a spare bedroom. There is a cased opening with a curtain that can be closed for privacy. There is a wall gas heater in that room and a window AC unit, each to supplement the 2 hvac ducts out there when temps are beyond mild. There's also a ceiling fan in this room.

The 3rd bedroom is set up currently as a den / game room with half bath and separate laundry area, but it can still work as an optional private bedroom if you desire. The door leading to the kitchen can be closed for added privacy at night. However, it only has a sleeper chair that can hold up to two people for sitting. The chair folds out flat to a twin bed, or you can bring along an air mattress if you desire. Guests might opt to use the sun room as a bedroom instead of this room. This room does have a separate entry at the carport and a passage door that can be closed to the kitchen area, if used as a bedroom. The room includes a flat panel smart Roku TV, a Pacman multi-cade arcade, Mortal Kombat multi-cade system also with 12 games, a Mars Attacks digital pinball with 10 games, as well as an older game console with some games.

The home has been recently updated with new paint, LVP floor covering throughout, and other things like mostly new furniture throughout. This includes new king bed and mattress, leather sectional sofa, new sitting chairs and custom painted / restored furniture in the master, and more.

Outside you will also find in the expansive and mostly level back yard a gazebo with glider rocker, a fire pit area with 6 adirondack chairs (can be moved about to screen porch, etc.), a screen porch on back overlooking the lake off the master bedroom, and a nice long / wide covered front porch for lazy days with seating for 4 people (can be moved about). This is where you will find two sun loungers that can be relocated to the back yard, etc.

EVSE / EV charger is a 240 volt up to 40 AMP J1772 (combo type plug) available at our carport for your convenience. We have a Grizzle-E classic. Tesla vehicles will need the appropriate adapter. Not suitable for Chademo. Our AC outlet is locked and not able to be unplugged, so please use our charger.

** Due to risk of injury, fire, or damage to a neighboring property, we do NOT allow fireworks or the discharge of firearms on our property! If booking during a holiday season please keep this in mind before booking! ** Please be sure to remove the grill during use from under the carport and away from the home to avoid melting the vinyl siding / overhead finishes.

NOTE: "Seasonal water" at Weiss Lake means it is a flood controlled dam / lake, and they drop the lake levels by 3' from full pool, typically starting reduction between the middle of September and until early Spring. You can find historical water levels and current lake levels available online. During this time we have at most 10" of water at our dock, which is still good for views but is not boatable during this time of fall / winter, but we are only 5 mins from a public ramp.

Lastly, the home is NOT handicap accessible. If you have questions please ask. Feel free to message us to ask any questions prior to booking. We have tried to accurately describe our home and property. We will do all we can to help make your stay enjoyable. Thanks for considering us!

Good Property

We enjoyed our stay at this house for our annual lake weekend. The place was clean and had a fun game room and sunroom for the kids. The pier sits in about 3 feet of water which was great for fishing , but not for kids to swim off the dock. We will probably be back next year as the property management was helpful to our needs.

Property was not taken care of: March 21 thru March 24

When we rented this place, we were excited because it was on the lake with a dock. When we got there, we noticed the lawn hadn't been mowed and the outside of the house was very dirty including the inside of the carport. If we had children with us, we wouldn't have felt comfortable letting them play in the yard. There were lots of bee's and wasp's flying around and we feel that if the yard had been mowed there wouldn't have been as many bugs. The firepit was completely unusable, parts of it were caved in. Upon entering the house, it was very musty smelling. We had to open all the windows to air it out. Every time we left the house and returned the house smelled again so we had to open the windows again. Thank goodness we had good weather so that we could open the windows. The windows seals were also very dirty. On the dock there were lights that didn't work; however, the property manager did offer to come over and look at the lights, but once we realized there was less than a foot of water at the dock and we couldn't fish there; there was no point in having the lights on. There was also a fish washing station, but it wasn't hooked up either. We feel like were the first ones to stay there this year and nothing had been done for upkeep. The property manager also stated that you could put in a 19 foot boat in at ramp. We have a 19 foot boat, which we didn't take and there is no way you are getting that size boat in on that ramp with the water level where it was.

About the host

Hosted by Daren Headrick

Host profile image
I am a real estate broker by profession in the states of Georgia and Tennessee, but this is our personal home. We live on a mini-farm with chickens and 6.5 acres where we spend most of our time in NWGA. My family wanted a second home on Weiss Lake that we could also share with others. In addition to renting out our mini-farm when we are gone, we also have a geodesic dome house / vacation rental in St. Teresa, FL listed through the platform for short-term rental. We enjoy spending time at all three of our family's treasured homes and hope our guests will too!

Why they chose this property

We love lake life and owning our lake home directly on Weiss Lake has been a dream come true. Its proximity to our main home, the people and friendliness of north Alabama, and nearby shopping and everything that Rome, GA, Fort Payne, and Gadsden have to offer made this a great choice.

Specifically, our home is located in a small, safe, and well established friendly neighborhood on a fairly short dead-end paved road, just off the highway and 5 minutes to everything in Centre, AL. To have a beautiful, almost level, large lake lot that is close to everything is really convenient. The homes here are clean looking, well kept, and owners are very friendly neighbors just like it "used to be." There are no campgrounds in our neighborhood, which is somewhat common around Weiss, so this is a plus for us.

What makes this property unique

We have a one-level water front home with very few steps (there are 2-3 in a couple of places) and a very large, mostly level lot. There's a gentle slope to the water's edge where you will find a private boat ramp, private dock, and lake access on seasonal water. Our water level at the dock during full pool is around 3-3.5 feet deep on average. The lake level drops in the fall through early spring, but the public boat ramp is 4 minutes from our house for those who need to put in a boat during this time.
