Cozy waterfront camp with dock and boat slip. Multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy!

A unique and quiet escape that is a fishing, boating, kayaking and swimming haven. Come stay at "Reel Good Time" on Fish River, a rustic and cozy cabin with ample outdoor space near the house and right on the river for you to enjoy. There is no better place for tranquil quality outdoor family time with an onsite fish pond, dock and boat slip on the water, a large outdoor courtyard, patio, gazebo and large flat grassy yard. Bring your own boat and tie right up to the dock! No boat? No problem! You can use the provided kayaks to explore around the home's surrounding no wake zone, or swim or float to the sandbar right off the dock to spend the day in the water relaxing with your family. You can also feed the friendly bream in the on-site pond. Bring your own gear to fish right off the dock using the installed rod holders. The waters around the house boast bass, bream, catfish, stripers, mullet and more. Spend the morning on the swing under the gazebo and watch the herons fish in the pond and the mullet jump. In the evening, light up the charcoal grill and play a game of corn hole or jenga on the patio, or even try your hand at the tiki toss ring game!

We describe our home as a rustic "no frills" fish camp, yet you will have everything you need for a comfortable and cozy stay. The living room will comfortably fit a family for movie night. The first bedroom has a spacious king bed, while the second larger bedroom can comfortably sleep 4 with a queen and twin daybed with trundle. This second bedroom is a great hang out space for the kids with another small couch and TV set up. The home is toddler friendly, there is a pack and play and high chair available for use. We also supply child safety features including door knob covers, outlet protectors and a cabinet lock for under the kitchen sink. There is ample storage in the bathroom. Laundry is available in the garage where you will also find for your use during your stay: 2 kayaks with paddles, a wide range of life jackets, outdoor games, fishing poles and more.

Our property truly feels "away from it all" but you are still only 15 minutes to quaint downtown Fairhope and about 30 minutes to the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores. We hope you choose to spend your time at "Reel Good Time.”

We want your stay to be everything you hope it will be and therefore would like all renters to be aware of the following unique features about our property. We want every renter’s expectations to be fully met during their stay at our river front retreat.

• We do allow dogs under 25 pounds for an additional fee.
• Please note at this time the upper deck of the boat dock is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance.
• There is no dish washer in the kitchen.
• For security reasons we have two cameras outside, one facing the street and driveway entrance and one facing the waterfront.
• To note, both bedrooms contain exterior doors. We have included multiple locks and safety features to help prevent unwanted exits, you may choose to use which features you wish during your stay.
• As this is a waterfront home, dealing with bugs is an unavoidable way of life. We can not guarantee you will not see a single bug inside during your stay. We have routine, scheduled pest control to keep bug friends to a minimum.

River Fun

The River is amazing. Our kids loved playing in the water and running in the yard. We truly enjoyed our trip. The house is old but has plenty of beds and gave our kids their own space.

Fantastic river house close to Fairhope!

My stay was wonderful and Michelle was a great, responsive host. I was fortunate to enjoy the property on the river for over a week. It's so close to Fairhope, only about 20 minutes away - but in a serene, quiet and peaceful area. The road was a quiet road that my dog loved walking on and we really enjoyed the huge outdoor space. Will be back!

Mardi Gras

We traveled down from North Mississippi for the Mardi Gras festivities. We come every year for Mardi Gras. Our stay at this beautiful waterfront location was relaxing and welcoming. Drinking coffee by the water while the kids played in the yard was worth every penny. I would recommend this location to anyone. Contact with the host professional and efficient!

Great getaway!

Super cute and cozy home. Patio, yard and dock were fantastic! The location is so quiet and secluded, you feel like you have the river to yourself! The only drawback was having one bathroom if you are staying with multiple people but other than that, everything was fantastic. The hosts are incredible and super fast to communicate. So many thoughtful items in the home, like cozy throw blankets, board games, yard games, a few bikes for kids, life jackets, 2 canoes and a pedal boat, etc. We can't wait to return again for the summer!

A Perfect Stay!!

We had such a good time staying at this home on the river! Upon arriving, we immediately felt at home here. Very cozy, clean and well stocked for all our needs! It was very therapeutic to sit on the dock by the river everyday. We enjoyed observing the wildlife (pelicans, ospreys, turtles) and catching fish with the poles that were provided by the owners. Communication with the owners was excellent as they were kind and very responsive. You can tell that they really care about the place and their renters. It is a perfect retreat and we will definitely be returning!
