Perfect Grace's Retreat
I can't say enough nice things about this place. It's location which feels like you're over the water surrounded by just enough trees to keep you cool. Well appointed inside and out. I took my 97 yr old mother and my 47 yr old daughter. Suitable for any age. Kitchen well stocked for even the most gourmet cooks. If you have a chance, go for it.

Unique property
Well appointed unique property with functioning glass garage doors for door walls to patio. Property owners easy to communicate with and responsive. Not uncommon with lake properties, there is a steep walk to stairs leading to dock that may be challenging for those with mobility issues. Reasonable check out process. Would recommend location and would stay again at this location.

Will not disappoint!
Grace’s Retreat was perfect! The kitchen is perfectly stocked, the beds we’re comfortable and the deck and view were a hit! We didn’t walk down to the dock because it is quite a steep slope and we are a little older but it wasn’t a problem because the view from the deck was fine. Glad the trees still didn’t have leaves yet! We loved the garage doors but didn’t use them much because of the weather and we couldn’t get the screen to work. Distance to downtown Cullman was a short drive. I would definitely love to stay at Grace’s Retreat again if we make it back to Cullman. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Name says it all!
Rented the house for a family cookout and birthday celebration. It was everything we could hope for. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed. Very short trip to the nearest stores which definitely came in handy a few times. The name describes it perfectly, it truly is a RETREAT!

Grace’s Retreat was a delight to stay in! Four friend gathered from different parts of AL to hang out, rest, eat good food, craft, watch movies and enjoy our friendship. The house was perfect for us. Lots of room with comfy furniture, a truly stocked kitchen, great beds with high end linens and the furniture out side on the expansive deck was high end also! No plastic chairs at this stay. God made the beautiful lake sunrises and sunsets which you can enjoy from the warmth of the house too. We’ll be back!
