Peace and Quiet

Very nice house and well maintained property!! Plenty of space for the kids to play and not be crowded or noisy. Screened in porch and back deck offered a fantastic view of the river. Dock was great for swimming off and catching fish!! Beds were very comfortable, kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, dishes and utensils. Would highly recommend staying here if ever in the area. Very easy drive to and from Huntsville

Beautiful but not intended for elderly or small children

My Favorite part- Beautiful rope lights on entire back deck all the way down the 89 steps 😯 to water, screened in porch & nice window views. We had a great vacation! The marina is so close & great place to rent a boat & our host for the property was 5 star ⭐️ However, if you are truly a die hard fishermen (like our family) It was exhausting climbing all those stairs multiple times a day/night with lots of gear & then come in & climb several more if sleeping upstairs. It is unfortunately not set up for cleaning or cooking a mess of fresh fish either. Maybe My fault for making assumptions with the property named “Gone Fishing” Ps. bring your own blow dryer & games if rainy weather.

Lovely home.

Great views. Comfortable beds. All the cooking supplies you could need for family meals. Great electric grill. Great supply of towels. Fast response from host when we had trouble with the toilet not filling with water. The only negative thing was the jacuzzi in the loft bedroom spit out dirty particles. We assumed this was from not being used in a while and my daughter thought the ceiling fan needed to be cleaned. We had a great time and there was plenty of room to play games at the lovely table. The wall of windows and closed in porch were my favorite. I enjoyed the sunrise with my coffee each morning and sunset was amazing in the evening. I hope to be coming back soon to this lovely place on the river.

Perfect place for family!

This house was perfect for my family. We all have to travel to meet up and this year we chose this place for our small Thanksgiving lunch. It was perfect for our small family and we will be coming here again for Christmas. We are so excited!

Beautiful lakeside vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home on Lake Wheeler. The views of the lake from the house and back porch are gorgeous! We loved swimming off the dock. We had great star viewing from the back porch. The beds are very comfortable and we enjoyed using the electric grill. It was very quiet and peaceful. It was a wonderful place to stay!

Lovely View!

It was relaxing and pleasant to stay in this adorable lake house. The view was inspiring and we loved the glass wall that overlooks the lake! The owner went above and beyond by having all the cleaning supplies removed from the house to accommodate my allergies! It helped make my stay much more pleasant!

10/10 Experience!

We loved this property so much. The house is very clean and well kept. We cooked every meal here and the kitchen had everything we needed and was very clean. The beds were very comfortable and I enjoyed the layout of the home for our family. The VIEW IS FANTASTIC! We loved eating at the table on the top deck, mid deck was shaded and perfect of the kids to play on, and the kids swam and fished off of the dock on the lake. The owner was highly helpful and communicative. 10/10 recommend and we will be back! Thanks so much for allowing us an opportunity to experience your slice of heaven.

Spectacular View, Very Quiet and Peaceful

That photo of the windows facing the lake is true to this property, but no photo can do the view full justice. Just a beautiful view of nature all day every day. Well-appointed, clean, and comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood only about 10 minutes from grocery and restaurants. Close to some great hiking opportunities. The deck (really decks) and steps down to the dock are remarkable. Many nice little touches of character like the lake map mural. Phillip was in touch, proactive, and quick to respond throughout the process. We had a great stay!

Really nice home and convenient to shopping and restaurants.

The only negative I had was not enough towels. We had to wash them every day and we didn’t go on a vacation to do laundry every day. If we had known that they only gave you 1 towel per person we could have brought our own. Also the trash situation. We pick up after our dogs and the trash pick up would not take them out of the trash can because they were not in a big trash bag.

About the host

Hosted by Phillip Evans

We (Phillip and Reiga) have 2 young boys and all enjoy using the lake house ourselves when we have time. We own and manage rental of the house ourselves, and live not too far away from the lake house, in Athens, AL.

Why they chose this property

One of the great things about the house is the proximity to everything you need to have a good trip to the lake. There is a full service marina and restaurant on-site and Athens is a short drive away for other restaurants, groceries, and stores. The house also has one of the best lake views around and very excellent fishing.
