Nice cozy vacation home

It was a nice property. The property was in a nice location for what we wanted to do. My family really enjoyed being able to use the hot tub and being next to a river. The property was well stocked. Would recommend the property to anyone who likes being in the mountain/country area.

Great for couples or family

Nice quite and relaxing week. Me and my wife enjoyed this property. From seating and drinking coffee on the back porch watching the river. To fishing in the river. House was very clean with updated appliances. It has everything you need. All you need to bring is your food , clothes, and fishing gear. If you like to go fishing. We really loved it here . And can't wait to go back.

Quaint location with lovely views and not too far from hunstville and parks

We had a great experience for our 9th anniversary. The home was nicely decorated with a lovely kitchen and dining area. The home is situated on the back portion of the property with lovely trees changing color in the fall. They have a varied area out back for different seating based on the desire and need for the guests with one area covered that was enjoyable to sit during a rainstorm. The bathroom a nicely redone and we had plenty of room throughout the home. The backyard has a river that runs along it and is enjoyable to sit and watch as the water slowly goes by as well as an area with a fire pit. It was pleasant and quiet and were pleased with our stay. We will definitely plan to come again

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!

Family spring vacation

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!!

Huntsville Fun

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.
