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

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.

Lake Stay 2024

Being right on the water, with a dock to swim and fish from was awesome. It was nice that there was also yard space with beautiful grass, and a fire pit. Close to town was also a convenience. Overall a great trip.

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.

Cozy lakeside cabin

The cabin is the perfect lakeside getaway! Situated on a quite cove off the main lake, perfect for swimming, floating, or dock fishing. If you’re bait fishing like we were, there are great spots all around close by. The cabin is cozy and updates with a nice kitchen, gas fireplace, grill, really all the amenities you would ever need. Donnie, the owner was incredibly easy to work with and very accommodating. Super nice guy who obviously takes pride in his property and pleasing the guests.

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.

Hidden Gem!

Our two-night stay at this charming cabin was an absolute delight. Nestled in a location that strikes the perfect balance between convenience and seclusion, the cabin offered a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The cleanliness and meticulous maintenance of the cabin added to the comfort of our stay. The boathouse was a highlight, especially since we had the pleasure of renting a boat for three days. It became our favorite haunt, as we spent most of our time enjoying the tranquility of the dock porch, which provided a picturesque view of the water and a peaceful spot to relax. Just a stone’s throw away, at the end of the road, we discovered a local gem – Charburger. This hamburger joint served up some of the most delectable meals we’ve had, with great food that left us coming back for more. A short walk in the opposite direction took us to a tackle shop that was a fisherman’s dream, boasting a more extensive selection of tackle than we’ve seen at any Bass Pro Shops. For anyone in search of an idyllic place to stay, look no further. This cabin is a slice of paradise that we wholeheartedly recommend. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
