This is the second year my friends and I have ventured to Huntsville for a summer concert. I can honestly say that I’d love to stay at this location every year after! The property is beautiful. There wasn’t a morning where I wasn’t sitting on the porch with a coffee in hand, enjoying the view. The house was very clean. The hosts were in direct contact at all times if we needed anything. We can’t wait to come back!

Great place to stay near Huntsville!

My family stayed here for a week and it was wonderful! We had 4 adults and 2 young children, and absolutely loved the covered patio and outdoor space. The house was just as it looked in the photos. There is a railroad track nearby (my kids loved seeing the trains go by) but it did not cause any disturbances for us. The location was perfect for us as well! We made many trips to the playground down the road, as well as day trips to the rocket museum, Monte Sano state park for hiking, and the railroad museum. We had a great time!

Such a relaxing place to stay. Loved the covered porch overlooking the river for reading and chilling. Clean and well stocked. So nice to have a washer and dryer. The only reason I gave the location 4 stars instead of 5 is the daily 6:30 train if anyone would be bothered by that.

Beautiful & Serene,This was a perfect escape after eloping in the mountains! The creek was a peaceful setting for morning coffee and the hot tub was extremely clean and just right for the season. Cathedral Caverns was a skip away and being surrounded by nature was just what the doctor ordered. Minutes away from downtown and a short ride to the lake, perfect place to unplug. Can’t wait to go back!!

A well appointed and peaceful/secluded home. Close to the city and all it has to offer, but removed enough that a dip in the hot tub at the end of the day was pure quiet relaxation.
