Best

We can’t say enough about this place!! The pictures don’t do justice. It was very clean, inviting. The property was nice. Good fishing, lots of wild life to watch and the back porch over looking the water was nice to relax after fishing. We loved the 2 sliding doors that open. Loved listen to the pouring rain in the dark. You won’t be disappointed if you choose this beautiful place. We been to a bunch of places and we think this one has been the best!!!

Stargazing & More

Wonderful views, lots of deer and birds. House was cute, too! Picked this location after viewing several others for stargazing with telescope. Host was exceptionally accommodating and even called to make sure it was perfect. Will be staying again and highly recommend for anyone looking to get away from it all (even if it's just light pollution)!

Peaceful and felt secluded even though nice and helpful neighbors. Birds, fish, fire pit, exploring the river in canoes, views of the river and sunset were our favorite highlights. Wonderful host!

Great place! Great amenities! Great owner!

I traveled up to Alabama for 8 days and the first places I stayed were horrible. I attempted to stay in some cabins and they had bed bugs and insect infestations. I was in desperate need for a new place and found this amazing cabin on the water. I messaged the owner at 11pm while sleeping in my truck. She quickly prepared the cabin and had it ready for me within a few hours. The host was amazing and the cabin was just as great!! Felt like home and I was easily able to sleep at night. The kitchen was great too and had everything I needed to cook. I’ll always be eternally grateful for the hospitality the host showed helping me out. Highly recommended!

A hidden gem

This property by far exceeded my expectations! My daughter was looking for a “summer camp” feel for her birthday and she actually found this listing. Every parent who dropped off their teen asked for a link to the property. The cabin has wonderful views, back porch is great for entertaining, and the boats included were the cherry on top. Such a relaxing home away from home.

Elk River oasis

Stayed here for the second time for our annual Elk River fishing trip. This was our 34th straight fishing trip. The lakehouse is the perfect place to stay for fishing the Elk. Owners are very nice and easy to get in touch with. Kris

The area was absolutely breath taking this time of year. We enjoyed all the wildlife. Every night we were visited by a family of deer and squirrels and birds you can sit and watch for hours. The house was very comfortable and accommodating. My family will definitely be coming back.

Clean and peaceful

Our stay at this property was absolutely perfect! The house was spotless and so cozy! The majority of us spend a lot of time on the water but for the older folks they could watch from the back porch, or even in the air conditioned house with the wall of windows, and still feel part of what was going on. The house had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The pictures could not do justice to how peaceful the setting is. We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds feed and a mama bird feed her babies in the bird house at the corner of the porch. We definitely would love to stay here again! It was perfect for us!

Perfect river getaway

We were two couples looking for a place on the river for a relaxing retreat, and we found it. Absolutely perfect getaway. We canoed during the day and watched the sunset on the deck in the evening. Our host was very gracious and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again.

Peaceful Stay

This peaceful rental right on the Elk River is spotlessly clean. We really enjoyed the hummingbirds, woodpecker, geese and deer. The road leading up to the cabin has rolling hills with wildflowers. The quiet neighborhood was perfect with no loud parties or rowdy groups.
