About this property

Relaxing Waterfront cottage with boat launch and kayaks. Close to town.

We are sitting on 2 acres of property with 300 feet of waterfront at the mouth of the Tallaseehatchee Creek and the Coosa River. We offer a nice boat launch that can accommodate even larger boats.

This spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bath house can sleep up to 6 with a fully equipped kitchen open dinning room with a six person dinning room table. In the laundry room you will find and a large capacity washer & dryer with some of the essentials provided.  The living room provides a big screen smart tv where you can enjoy your favorite streaming services using free high speed internet, we also provide a few classic board games, card games, and a few books to read. 

Outside you will find 2 covered decks overlooking the property with a beautiful water view. Enjoy a cookout on a charcoal BBQ grill. Then make your way down to the water via a gentle slope stair free, to a beautiful sitting area with a natural stone firepit.  The boat ramp and it's two docks are just a few feet away from the house.  In addition to all this you will also have access to kayaks that can be used to go exploring on the creek. 

We will never ask you to do a long list of chores before you leave. All we ask you to do is kindly take out all of your trash before you leave. We are here to make sure you enjoy your vacation.

Myself and other family members often enjoy using our river house. Unfortunately we are highly allergic to pet dander therefor we can not allow dogs or cats on the property due to health reasons. Thank you for understanding.

All the little things

Our stay was exactly what we needed. The comforts of home with the pleasure of living on the water. We were delighted by all the little things that were done to really make us feel at home and when we needed help it was given with sincere hospitality. Wonderful stay- thank you

Peace on the river

In the area to run the Pinhoti 100 (Heflin to Sylacauga) and needed a nice, quite place to relax pre-race and recharge afterwards. Perfect spot and the host couldn't have been nicer. The house was incredibly clean and well furnished, and the river-front property made for a very peaceful setting. Thanks so much!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful experience from the start. Communication with April was easy and she answered all the questions I had promptly. As soon as we arrived everything was perfect. The house is the cleanest VRBO home I’ve ever stayed in and the little welcoming details added a lot to our stay. Thank you April and we will return soon.

Relaxing Home Away from Home

Our family stayed here while our kids were out of school on fall break. The place was immaculately clean when arrived and the hosts even left a little bucket of snacks to welcome us. They were very responsive when we had questions. This cottage was right on the water and had a wonderful fire pit that we enjoyed roasting s’mores at. We visited Majestic Caverns and the Blue Bell Creamery while we were here. We had a FANTASTIC stay and made some great family memories! Thank you for a great vacation rental experience!!

Prefect Location

This rental was the perfect location for getting to Red Eagle and to Selwood Farm for my sons SCTP tournament. We loved being right on the water in our boat and the kids loved the kayaks. Owners were super sweet and had a little welcome basket on the kitchen counter. We would stay here again for sure.
