Long Fishing Weekend!

Great cabin with everything you could need for a small group! We stayed for a four day fishing trip on the lake. We were able to utilize the boat house for our boat which really helped simplify our trip! The cabin is in a beautiful location and is super comfortable. We truly enjoyed our stay and even caught a few bass fairly close the cabin! We are already trying to figure out a way to schedule a trip in the spring!

A little slice of heaven

Donny provided perfect directions, which was helpful since the property is a little off the beaten trail. We were blown away by the charm of this cabin, it took us back to simpler times for a few days. Donny drove out the first morning we were there to help us start the fireplace up. He answered every question I had and was a perfect host. We enjoyed the dock, hottubtt and the silence to help fireplacewhic

Totally unwind at this waterfront cabin

Great little cabin on the water. It's cozy and welcoming, and has everything you need. Cabin was clean and as pictured in the listing. Donny, the owner, is great to deal with. You can totally unwind here. We didn't have much cell phone reception, but that's what we were hoping for....we needed it to totally check-out from the real world. Would definitely recommend to others.

Going back in time…

This cabin is like going back in time! The interior is updated but the wood ceilings & floors throughout give this cabin On Golden Pond vibes. The level lot is just steps away from the lake where you can enjoy the swing and boat house dock while you swim or fish the day away. The views are phenomenal & the owner was very easy to communicate with. We’ll definitely be going back to this charming cottage soon!

Perfect Getaway

My husband and I were looking for the perfect getaway. We wanted to just have time to relax and enjoy the beauty of Lake Guntersville. The cabin provided exactly that! It is exactly it’s listed in the description, but the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s actually so much better in person. We enjoyed sitting on the lake, hiking the local trails, and visiting local restaurants. The host was extremely attentive and responded to any questions that we had immediately.

Perfect Little House on the Water

We had a great long weekend getaway. We enjoyed fishing from the pier, kayaking, and relaxing on the front porch. The check-in process was super easy. The neighbors were nice, as well as the neighborhood pets. This house has everything you need, and it is fabulously vintage. There is wifi, but it is pretty slow (wifi was not a criteria for us, since we were trying to disconnect for a few days ;)) We did notice a musty smell on the towels and bed sheets, but since the cabin has a washer and dryer, we were able to wash them.

Much needed getaway

The cabin is located right on the water with a very nice yard. Parking was very easy enough room for at least two vehicles to be able to turn around. House was immaculate. The property and location were very calm and peaceful but also close to downtown where there are walking , restaurants here live music so much to do

Beautiful views.

We were after a short, winter fishing trip and this house didn’t disappoint. The house was lovely and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. With several boat launches nearby and the boat house at the cabin, our teenage boys were able to fish whenever they wanted and my husband and I were able to enjoy nature. Check in was easy and the house was very clean and well stocked. Simply beautiful views.
