About this property

Waterfront Guntersville Getaway

Relax in your own private, waterfront home. Complete renovation and addition built in 2017. The Guntersville Getaway is nestled in a small cove on scenic Lake Guntersville, which has 949 miles of winding shoreline.

There is a lot to do without even leaving the property. Relax on the large patio of this 1900 square foot waterfront home. Watch the sunset and grill out. Watch the wildlife, which may include a Bald Eagle, Osprey or the endangered Whooping Crane. Great Blue Herons, Coots or Comerants and Turtles are frequent visitors.

Field and Stream Magazine voted Guntersville one of the top 10 fishing towns in the country. It is well known for it's Bass fishing and National tournaments, such as the Bass Masters Tournament. Guests often catch fish right off the bank or pier. The kids will love catching Bluegills, Catfish or Bream.

The Boathouse, built in 2017 offers deep water year round. Guests have their own slip that includes boat lift, a freezer to store all the fish you catch. it also has a fish cleaning station.The slip opens up to a partially covered and partially sunny deck.
Summer and spring bring boating, swimming, fishing, skiing, or just sunning. If you have had too much sun, shop till you drop in Guntersville for antiques and bargains.

Downtown Guntersville has a nice shopping area. While you are there check out The Brick Restaurant for American Cuisine. You can eat and shop in the same building at Baker's on Main. Cafe 336 has a yummy, light lunch. The shops contain one of a kind gifts and decor to take back home. A great place to dine for lunch or dinner is The Rock House Eatery. For an upscale dining experience you may enjoy The Glover Restaurant. All of these restaurants are on HWY 431. Many of the places you want to go are on 431.

If you love a bargain, Visit Crazy Craz Boys that buy pallets of used Amazon merchandise and sell everything in bins for 7 dollars or less depending on the day of the week.

First Class Golf and Family Attractions: The Getaway is centrally located to four first class Golf Courses: Gunters Landing, Cherokee Ridge, Robert Trent Jones/Hampton Cove and Goose Pond.

Your whole family can discover Cathedral Caverns, which has the largest cave opening in a public cave in the U.S. It is only 20 minutes away. It is a treasure!

Spend a day exploring the Space and Rocket Center and Space Camp, in Huntsville, which attracts visitors from all over the world. Huntsville is about an hour away.

In the fall and winter curl up next to the fire with a good book from our collection of hard and paper backed books. Take a drive or a boat ride and treat yourselves to the explosion of fall colors.

What's new? Almost everything!!! In 2017 we added a 300 square feet master bedroom. The bathrooms were transformed into elegant, luxury bathrooms. New rock and an amazing mantlepiece are the focal point of the living room; that is if you can tear yourself away from the fabulous views of Lake Guntersville from each bedroom and living room. We have a beautiful new flagstone walkways, new landscaping, and larger driveway. We replaced the sliding glass doors in each bedroom that lead to the patio. We painted the living area paneling a light gray color, which brightened the space. We have painted the interior and much of the exterior. It was time to replace the boathouse. Now guests have their own slip with lift, chest freezer and fish cleaning station.

Spro Frog Tourney

Very accurate description of rental. Accommodated the 4 of us with room to spare. Updated bathrooms was very nice with the walk in showers. Only suggestion if your fisherman with boat very tight turn around with big truck and 21ft boat. Once we figured out just back down drive way all was perfect. Would defentiley rent again.

Amazing home, property and boat house!

My family and I stayed for a few days and had a great time! Beautiful home on a perfect lot! The only thing missing is a private boat ramp and the only reason I even mention that is because we have a couple of large fishing kayaks that we weren't able to use but we had the bass boat too so it worked out fine. There is a public boat launch about a mile aways. Highly recommend staying here!

Great place at the lake

Owner was helpful and responded promptly. Good size, wooded lot with very gentle slope to water. Bathrooms and kitchen have been nicely updated. Newer master bedroom and master bath with large tile shower and large soaking tub has brand new mini-split HVAC system that works great. Two bedrooms have queen beds. Kitchen is well equipped. Many large windows and sliding glass doors provide water views. We enjoyed the large patio with outdoor tables and comfortable chairs. We also appreciated the outdoor string lighting from the patio to the boat house! The boat house guest slip with the lift worked well for our 20 ft ski boat. Covered deck off the guest slip was very nice for lake and sunset views. Water in the area is generally calm and free of weeds. Location is convenient to main lake area including City Harbor from the water and downtown Guntersville by road.

Great Lake Place

We loved this place! Comfortable house right on the lake. This property has a dock with slip that visitor can use. This enabled me to skip loading/unloading my boat everyday for use. This was especially helpful when it rained! This makes it great for fishing trips... We definitely recommend staying here.

Friends trips

Six friends, 65+ stayed a four night weekend at this lovely home. Very comfortable for us! A level ranch on a beautiful lot overlooking Lake Guntersville. Plenty of nice restaurants nearby. Lots of shopping available. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen, though. Kicking back and watching the momma Robin feed her babies in the nest outside the window was as peaceful a stay as possible. Great getaway to let friends meet and catch up!

Beautiful Lakeview and A Bird Paradise

A quiet retreat with tranquil views of the lake, birds and beautiful sunsets from the dock. We loved the back patio in the evenings. Fishing was OK but had to be patient. Bass, catfish, bluegill, eagle, loons and ospreys were common.

No Stress, Good for the Soul - Family Memories

My daughter describes it as welcoming and cozy. My son was excited about the huge couch. My Husband loved the boat house and the quick access to the lake. (We fished every night, and he finally got that big bass!). I loved watching the wonderful birds while I drank my morning coffee. Overall, was a great place. We made many memories and we left feeling a little closer. The owners were really friendly as well.

Fell in love with this home!

We fell in love with this property. It close to 431, easy to find, close to dining and attractions. Very private, beautiful lake view offered much needed relaxation. There is a sweet furball next door, I think the neighbors have invisible fencing and our dogs definitely wanted to play. We also enjoyed the ducks and saw blue herrings every day. The house was very clean, comfy beds, loved the bunk bed room for the kids.. all bedrooms have a beautiful lake view. Spacious kitchen and outdoor area with a grill. Fire pit and plenty of outdoor seating. Private dock & boat slip. Huge bathrooms! The property manager was kind and very helpful. We will definitely be renting this adorable cottage by the lake again.

About the host

Hosted by Nicholas or Lyndall Hamlett

Host profile image
My parents, built this home in 1958. My father helped design the house with it's open living and dining area floor plan. I have kept some of the retro look by leaving some of the original fixtures, but it has also been completely updated the kitchen, laundry room, both bathrooms and added a 300 square foot master bedroom added.

I live just 3 miles away, also in Guntersville. My husband and I have lived here since 1990. He is the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Albertville. We are still keeping it in the family. My son Nicholas manages the property for me.

Why they chose this property

It is among a small number of lake houses situated on a relatively flat lot. Many of the other properties have a steep incline to walk up from the Lake to the house.

What makes this property unique

It is a jewel of lake front property, because it is not steep and keeps deep water year round. It has shady and sunny areas of this one acre property that provides privacy. It is in a cove. My favorite part about the house is the windows. In almost every room of the house you can look at the serene lake.
The retro look has been blended with modern convenience. For example there are modern granite countertops and antique dressers that have been passed down in my family.
