About this property
Family & Pet Friendly 2500 sq ft home-Minutes from town on Wilson Lake, Alabama!
Shoal Creek Gibbons Home - Wilson Lake Florence Alabama
2025 Update: The property is now equipped with a fenced-in area for the fur babes to run free!
The Kayaks have arrived!! Four of them, actually...w/ life vests and paddles too. They are now available to all guests (with adult supervision). :)
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:
The house will comfortably sleep 8 adults in a King bedroom, two Queen bedrooms, and one queen sleeper sofa. The other options (three double high queen air mattresses) are probably more feasible for kids/teens. If additional adult sleeping accommodations are needed, please be sure to ask about the availability of the 2 BR/2 BA guest house that is located on the property at a lower rate.
Perfectly located on Shoal Creek at the mouth of Wilson Lake, you will find no other like this. With 250' of waist deep water along the seawall that gradually deepens for swimming and fishing, and a large leveled ground with no slopes or steep steps to the water, people of all ages can enjoy themselves wading in the lake while enjoying the company of others on the bank.
We are confident that you will enjoy your time at our totally renovated and updated Shoal Creek Gibbons Home. We are located minutes from town, however you will feel as though you are in your own little world.
If you do decide to venture out on the town for a bit or to tour the beautiful places that Florence and the Shoals area has to offer, you will be pleasantly surprised to find everything and every place within minutes of the house.
We have tried our best to make our home as comfortable and homey for others as we prefer for ourselves. Most any amenity that you may need or want is available.
Having two kitchens, plenty of seating, and an open gathering area, our home is not only great for family outings, fishermen getaways, and vacations but also perfect for wedding receptions, family reunions, baby showers, business meetings, small wedding ceremonies, youth group outings, bridal showers, etc. We will also consider monthly corporate/business stays. Nightly rates/cleaning fees may be increased with larger groups.
Private pier with boat lift.
New state owned/public boat ramp is now open - directly to your right (off the highway) as you enter the street our home is located.
The Shoals is also the location documented in the 'Muscle Shoals' movie!
TWO NIGHT MINIMUM! Three to five night minimum on certain holidays!!
NOTE: Ring cameras are located at all entrances of the home. They are used/viewed only when the house is vacant, for security purposes only.

About the host
Hosted by Bobby or Angela Hendrix
We are just a couple of the many family members that have enjoyed this special home on Shoal Creek. Keeping with the open house feel that we have all always known and loved, we made the decision to let others enjoy it too!
Why they chose this property
The land was first purchased by the family in 1964 and has been 'home' to many. Countless wonderful memories have been made with family and friends through the years.
What makes this property unique
The most unique benefit of our home is most definitely its close proximity to the water. The house is literally inches from the water on flat ground! Another specialty would be the near distance to all restaurants, shopping centers, and many attractions that Florence and The Shoals has to offer! And we must not forget the fish - OH, THE FISH! - Many bass, catfish and others...a/k/a: THE BIG ONE...have been reeled in at the house over the years!
