Perfection!

This home has been carefully thought out! This is our second time here and we’ve never visited any where twice! All the cleanliness, ammenities and activities to stay and relax yet close enough to town for items needs or fun restaurants and sites. We hesitate to recommend it too highly because we love that it’s our secret place to go for quality family time within a few hours drive. But we can say this…we’ll be back again. Michael and Tracy have been amazing with communication on both of our trips and that gives us the final 5th star!

Great property!

I rented this property for my grandparents anniversary and they have done nothing but rave on everything there. They loved the quiet neighborhood and how peaceful it was to sit out on the screened porch or by ther fire pit at night. We will definitely be renting this property again for the family!

Wonderful Lakehouse

Four lifelong girlfriend trip was completely perfect because of this five star lakefront cutie! Three bedrooms and three bathrooms with the best screened porch for sitting, laughing, drinking wine and solving all the problems of the world. The house was very cleaned and fully stocked with any supplies you might need such as hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, body wash. We just loved it. The owners live down the road and were very responsive to any questions asked. We ate at Mugshots, Big Bad Breakfast and Southern kitchen. Fun time!!

Perfect family retreat!

Michael and Tracey were great in communications before and during our stay. The house was VERY clean and completely stocked with anything you would need to cook/grill there. It also has plenty of games, TVs, fire pit, kayaks, and a paddle board! Our teen boys loved all of it! Especially fishing off the dock. The other thing we loved was how close we were to Florence to be able to get groceries, eat at restaurants, and even sight see! We will absolutely be recommending this place to friends as well as return here again soon!

Great Get Away

Location was the best, great view of the lake and distant lights at night. Very Peaceful, and close enough to anything you might need with a short drive. The aesthetics are inviting. Fishing was great from the property and dock, huge float was fun and kayaks provided was another fun activity. Not enough room here to mention all the great things about the Lake House. Having plenty of room for truck and boat trailer was a huge plus for us. You can book this with confidence.

great house

We have stayed in this house a couple of times and it really is set up great for us. There is a master suite with king bed on one end with the living area in the middle and another master suite with king bed on the opposite end. There is a 2 twin bedroom off the living room. We've stayed there by ourselves one time and with our daughter and granddaughter another time. It is always very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. We appreciate the non cluttered house and the great screened in porch. We haven't used the fire pit but it is available overlooking the lake. The owner is very available if any questions arise. We plan on staying here if available every time we visit my elderly aunt. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by MB Rentals

Host profile image
We own and manage residential and commercial properties. This was our family lake house for many years, and we lived in it full time for a few years. We travel and stay in private VRBO properties such as this one and have knowledge of renting properties. We live on the lake and hope to share our love of the lake through this unique property.

Why they chose this property

This house was recently renovated and is a perfect vacation rental. The property is in a great location, and you can be at many restaurants and attractions in 5 minutes. Downtown Florence is 10 minutes away and Muscle Shoals in 15 minutes away. The boat launch and marina are only a 5-minute drive. You can see the Highway 72 bridge from our property. The house is 1/2 mile by boat to the Tennessee River.

What makes this property unique

There is a large fire pit and lots of firewood for those cool nights or just roasting marshmallows. We have 2 hammocks, 4 kayaks and a 2 slip covered powered boat house. Dock your boat under cover. The water is deep enough year-round to access the dock. There is a large screened in porch with a dining table for 6 as well as a TV on the porch to watch your favorite game. We have covered parking and a large turn around drive with extra space to park your boat trailer.
