About this property

Cozy Cabin on the River

Come and enjoy a few nights of fun and fishing on the historical Fish River. This centrally located property is a mere 15 minutes from the beautiful town of Fairhope and it is approximately 30 minutes away from the white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Our comfy river cabin includes 1 bed/ 1bath and is able to comfortably sleep two adults. The kitchen is fully functional as well as an outdoor charcoal grill. A large covered porch is an inviting place to sit, relax, and enjoy the view of the river. It is intentionally positioned on Fish River basin, which gives you a great deal of privacy while also being a stones-throw away from the main river. The cabin does not sit on the water. but our beautiful boathouse provides ample water access. We have a long pier for fishing and swimming, as well as a beautiful boathouse. We have a place to launch kayaks or other small boats as well as the perfect place for swimming. This prime Fish River location gives you access to some of the best fishing Baldwin County has to offer. This river’s name is no coincidence because it is chock-full of redfish, speckle trout, and even dolphins from time to time. Come and see what all of the fuss is about at The Cabin on Fish River.

I had a great time staying at this property. In every category it exceeded expectations. We chose this location because we want a quiet weekend away y to enjoy nature. This is a great place to do that . I was particularly struck by the cleanliness and condition of the property. Everything was as advertised and there were no hiccups. Everything worked and was in good condition. The communications were clear and helpful. I hope we will return soon. I would really like to do more kayaking.

weekend getaway

We enjoyed our weekend kid free getaway. It was quiet and just the relaxation we needed. We had some great food and enjoyed kayaking to Big Daddy's Grill. We even decided to go for a dip and had a dolphin swim up in the cove. It was an enjoyable weekend.

Relaxing Accommodation on the River

My husband and I had such a wonderful and restful time at Susan's cozy cabin. The boathouse was incredible, and we spent several evenings out there watching tv and just listening to the sounds of the river. It was close enough to all the restaurants and shopping we intended to visit but away from the crowds. Thank you, Susan for allowing us to stay, and we will definitely be back!

About the host

Why they chose this property

We have always wanted to own property on Fish River. The cabin is in very close proximity to our primary residence which makes it an ideal get-away.

What makes this property unique

The property is located in a basin which provides a more private setting, while the main river is a mere one hundred feet away. A small sand bar is located near the basin which can be enjoyed during low tide. The scenery from the boat house as well as the cabin provides an up close view of an estuary protected for generations.
