We had a great time overall at this property. The house was clean except for a couple things. The porch and hottub area didn't have clean cushions so you didn't want to sit on some of the outdoor furniture. They tell you about the fishing but no poles to use. The ownee said they had some broken one's but we didnt see anything for fishing. The kayaks were not in the broken rack so they were full of water on the ground.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lily Pad. This is our second stay here and this was even better than the first!! Nice, clean home. They even had it smelling so fresh when we arrived. All the amenities we needed.
We decided to take a girls trip to explore the Unclaimed Baggage Store and found this adorable place on line. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out to watch tv or if we wanted the quiet to read. We were even more excited to sit at the table and watch the snow fall. We loved the porch area but it was a bit too chilly for us Florida girls to sit outside but we would have spent our entire day out there if weather had permitted! Grocery stores and restaurants were only a short distance away. The owner was so kind, attentive and easy to work with. I would have no hesitation to stay here again if we return to the area. Favorite restaurants: 50 Tators, Payne’s Sandwich Shop, Toros Cantina & Grill.
We celebrated Christmas. The weather worked out so that we were able to fish, build a bon fire, roast marshmallows and use the hot tub. The house is very cute and the beds were comfy, there was plenty of space in the kitchen for serving and storing our food. The deck is very spacious, but it was a little to chilly for us to use. It was a nice getaway for our small family.

My family had a nice relaxing stay right after Christmas. The house has been beautifully upgraded and was very comfortable for our family of four. My husband especially enjoyed the hot tub while I enjoyed the screened in porch overlooking the lake.
The porch was lovely for gathering but the cushions were dirty. Not terrible, just distracting from the otherwise welcoming room. The dishwasher was falling apart and ultimately stopped working. A bother! Would we stay here again? Yes with the assurances that all appliances were working. The waterside view was a joy. For TV fans, there are 6 TV’s, but no reading lights in the upstairs bedrooms.
Overall it was great ..need towels for upstairs bathroom if you have more than 2 guests. Towels in downstairs bathroom need to be replaced stained and dingy. We only had 2 rolls of toilet paper for 2 bathrooms good thing we brought our own. Refrigerator needed to be cleaned better..overall the price was great for the place but your housekeeping fee needs to be re- evaluated because of those things i mentioned. Would recommend to stay again.

Pros:
The space was exceptionally clean and had comfortable bed and furniture. The shower had great water pressure. It was quiet and peaceful in the house as well as on the porch. The door code we were given was incorrect but the owner responded promptly with the correct code.
Cons:
We arrived at dark and were unable to use the master suite downstairs because the light bulbs were out in the stairwell making it too dark to safely carry luggage down the steep stairs. Light bulbs were out on the porch, and laundry room as well. We were unable to cook food we had purchased because all of the cookware had scratched teflon coating and didn’t appear safe to use. It was just as well because there was a problem with the dishwasher making it unusable as well. I’m sure if we had taken the time to reach out to the owner he would have addressed the issues. We just didn’t want to go through the hassle.
We still had a nice getaway, just had to adjust our plans on the fly. It is a comfortable little house and the porch made up for the downfalls.
Cute, cute, cute!!! Super clean, comfy beds, everything you need. The porch was by far our favorite thing. We enjoyed lazy days, eating, fishing and watching football. Very close to restaurants and stores.
My family had a great time at the property as a surprise for my sons 14th birthday. The boys enjoyed fishing off the dock and the girls enjoyed the kayak and hot tub. We had a great birthday meal that we grilled and ate on the screened in porch as a family!
Wasn't owners fault but the unit was not clean when we got in. Girl that came and cleaned after we got there did the minimal. Owners are not getting what they pay for with cleaning. Property is excellent. Loved our stay there in spite of the cleaning people's inadequacies. Would definitely stay there again.
Great house, amazing screened in deck! Great property! In cove but short boat trip to main channel. Good fishing even off the dock! Wild life seen. Hope to be able to book again soon! Owner easy to contact, very helpful!
We enjoyed our stay at Lily Pad. All beds were comfortable and clean. The screened in porch was our favorite location in the house! Spent our evenings relaxing and playing games in a very comfortable location.
We did not enjoy the condition of the water due to extreme overgrowth of grasses. And we were unpleasantly surprised by the view of a nuclear power plant right across the river.

Lake ?
Not what we expected! More like being on the slew of the lake. The screen in porch was nice.
This property is close enough to civilization yet far enough away to unplug, unwind, and relax. The most outstanding feature of the property by far is the porch. Rain or Shine you will spend the majority of your time on the porch.
During the day, you relax on the porch, reading, catching up on tv, or just listening to nature. At night you retreat to the basement master suite get into your suit and head for the hot tub which is directly below the porch. You relax in the tub, watch some tv, listen to nature and then head inside for bed.
It was a true getaway. It’s also a prime location for the adventurous or the foodie. You are less than an hour from amazing barbecue in Georgia. Less than an hour from the largest underground waterfall in the United States, Ruby Falls in Chattanooga. Less than an hour for Huntsville and all it has to offer, and less than an hour from Guntersville, for which the lake that your cabin has a view of is named.
Should you need something instacart and DoorDash deliver, or you can make the 20 minute drive into Scottsboro and shop at Walmart, or any number of stores and while you are there pickup local mom & pop pizza or enjoy a great Chinese buffet and Yoki.
We are already counting down the days to next year when we will be back.
Our stay was great… the host accommodations were great. We booked this house just for a couple day for a fishing/birthday getaway and was not disappointed. If looking for a place to relax it’s where you wanna go… all the furniture was very comfortable, the covered back porch was awesome to sit out at night and listen to the rain and watch some tv and relax. Or the hot tub on the bottom floor porch was just as amazing to sit in and watch the lake and the rain. Has pretty much everything you need at the lake you would want to have to relax and have a good time. We will definitely be back booking this house again. Thanks for everything
If you are looking for a perfect place to stay right on the water then stop looking! This place is absolutely perfect! We loved our stay and we will be back!
