    The space
    Lakeside Retreat is a freshly renovated, spacious home nestled on a calm slough of Wilson Lake just off the Tennessee River.

Located in a tranquil neighborhood just 20 minutes from downtown Florence, it's perfect for family gatherings or a peaceful getaway.
    A Note About Nature: One of the best parts of staying at a lakefront home in North Alabama is enjoying the beauty of the outdoors: including birds, wildlife, and waterfront views. Because of our lakeside location, guests may occasionally notice cobwebs, pollen, insects, or bird activity outdoors, and from time to time a small bug may find its way inside when doors are opened. Rest assured, our home is professionally cleaned after every stay and routinely treated by pest control to keep everything as comfortable as possible. We work hard to maintain the property, but nature moves fast at the lake!

The house was only 15 minutes away from Florence. I actually brought kitchen items with me because I was afraid I wouldn't have what I needed. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Everything I needed was already there. The host was responsive and answered my questions in a timely fashion. The house is absolutely beautiful and provided the peaceful escape we needed.

Great golf vacation On beautiful Lake Wilson

annual golf outing with 8 old friends. Nice outdoor areas to enjoy the lake and the spring weather. The house was perfect for us although it was a drive to the RTJ golf courses and attractions like downtown Florence. We’d stay here again.

We enjoyed the kayaks and chairs on the dock. Host was very responsive when I had questions. I highly recommend staying here!

Great view of Shoal Creek with gentle slope with a couple of steps to the dock.Home was very well equipped-plenty of dishes, cups, silverware, cooking utensils and cookware. Coffee and filters ready to use. Some savory spices were in cabinet. Ice maker and filtered water in fridge/freezer.Towels including beach towels were plentiful. Kayaks, canoe & life preservers were on the dock.Several outdoor seating areas including covered & screened porch.Beds were comfy and sleeping areas were well distributed for privacy.One minor suggestion is for hosts to provide a couple of extra rolls of toilet paper. We stayed 4 nights with 9 adults and some daytime visitors, so we did get low on TP and additional rolls were not in the house.Each bath had plenty of soap at sink and body wash in shower.It was very clean and bathrooms and kitchen were modern.

Review of Lakefront Home

This property is wonderful! It is immaculately clean, the decor is current and lovely, access to the pier is a gentle slope, plenty of space for gathering as well as quiet spaces for those who are a little introverted. The location is quiet but still convenient to most points of interest in the Shoals. We felt the hosts went above and beyond to anticipate and accommodate our needs. Hope this property is available the next time we have a need.

Great Getaway and a fantastic host

Our family gathers each New Years at VRBO's and this was our first time at this property. Wow. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen with utensils, dishes, appliances and even some spices. We were genuinely surprised at how well the kitchen was stocked as we usually bring a lot of supplies which we didn't need. The house is well laid out with plenty of bedroom space and bathroom space. We had 4 kids under 6 and we had no problems with space. The "private suite" was perfect for our little grandkids as they could easily sleep without hearing the adults. It was winter so we couldn't use the outdoor table, but island in the kitchen provided more than enough space for our family. The weather was nice enough for us to get some time on the water using the provided canoe and kayaks. Our host was welcoming and helpful, going out of her way to make sure we had all we needed. Will likely come again, and we may do a summer trip!Thanks!
