Christmas Getaway
My family and I stayed here over the week of Christmas as a family of 6, and had more than enough room. We originally planned for 8, and still would’ve had room. The home had an open concept with tall ceilings on the main level. Great woodsy/cabin meets the lakes vibe. Wrap around porches and jutted out windows to create reading nooks… very loved by this crew! We loved the movie room with the projector. We were able to connect our devices up and play movies/games through that, but there were options to watch already on the system it’s connected too. Enjoyed the pool table!We did all the cooking for the week there, and we were impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked with basics and utensils/pans/bowls/etc. We also appreciated the openness to dogs, as animal lovers. We didn’t have any with us, but love that we could’ve. All the bedrooms worked well for us, and the bathrooms were spacious! Good room for parking, just be mindful of the steeper initial part of the driveway. We would absolutely return! Happy New Year!

Amazing weekend!
The property was very clean and well maintained. Our grandkids and kids absolutely had a ball even though the weather didn’t cooperate with us. Big spacious rooms and a gorgeous view of the lake. We will definitely return to this house next year.

Log Cabin
The house was amazing. There was plenty of room for everyone, never felt crowded. The beds were very comfortable. The photo albums documenting the entire construction of the log home were very interesting. The theater was a big hit and the pool table was the site of many intense games in the evening :) We had a great time here and would definitely come back.

Log house is amazing and location on the lake is perfect. Little ones loved the white sand beach across the lake. House was well stocked and had everything we needed. Owner was extremely responsive to all my questions and made the process effortless. Beds were very comfortable. Would like to see more outdoor seating to enjoy the amazing sunsets from the dock and the deck. This is a beautiful location on the lake.

Great place on the lake out of the main stream
We really liked the property. There wasn’t as many boats as are typically which made the water smooth for jet skis.
Property is fairly close to the water. Would like to see a railing on the wall going to the lake. It is pretty steep and was difficult for my mom without something to hold on to.
Great trip with extended family.

Beautiful home and lake - as described
Wonderful home to relax and enjoy quality time with family. 2 hours to Tuscaloosa for a campus visit and time with our student. Spring Break for other 2 high school sons.
Kitchen was well stocked and communication with host was simple and clear. Check out procedures were some of the simplest we’ve experienced- we thought we were forgetting something.
Chef Troy’s was a hit with the boys - French toast for dessert and fluffy pancakes over a waffle!
