A Perfect Fishing Getaway

This was our second time staying at this property and once again, it was everything we hoped for and more. The house is wonderfully maintained, very clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need for a relaxing visit.We came to fish, and the peaceful setting made it the perfect place to unwind after a day on the water. It’s quiet and calm, yet just a short drive from downtown. It was close enough to grab a bite or explore, but far enough to enjoy some true rest.Communication with the host was excellent, just like last time. Everything from booking to check-out went smoothly.This will not be our last stay. It has officially become our go-to spot, and we are already looking forward to coming back!

Wonderful place on the lake

Four high school buddies and I stayed here over a long weekend. We had a great time. Check-in and check-out were easy and well described. The cabin was quiet, well-stocked, and convenient. It has a great covered deck as well as an uncovered deck. Great place for family and friends.

Peace and Tranquility!

My wife and I are devoted grandparents and are loving this stage of life. That said we still an occasional getaway to recharge (grandparent batteries drain much quicker 😜) We love Guntersville for the small town ambience and non tourist trap setting. However we could never find that spot that offered the peace and tranquility that was so needed. Until now! Lake views and screened in deck, 3 bedrooms.and comfortable furniture ( a big issue with many VRBO's.) I just can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was. We were there in December, so the lake was quiet and the fall leaves were stunning. We will be back in the Spring and Summer and review again, but I highly recommend this place if you want quaint and quiet. We've found our getaway.

Great Visit

House and boathouse are great! Driveway is steep. I recommend following the owners directions for accessing the driveway. Also, putting your boat in the water before going to the house works best.
