In addition, this home not only provides some of the most spectacular views of Lake Wedowee, but is also on deep, year-round water with over 100 feet of shoreline. A great spot for swimming, and a favorite area for fisherman.
The home has multiple outdoor spaces for families to enjoy, including a stone patio with seating that overlooks the lake, as well as a deck off the main house that is nestled in the treetops of aging oak trees. The area closest to the water has a gazebo as well as a large deck with parking for two boats.
The property has a fully equipped kitchen for cooking all your meals, a stainless Weber grill, and a game room with various entertainment (board games, ping pong, foosball, darts and horseshoes). We are centrally located on the north side of the lake, minutes from downtown Wedowee, grocery stores, Lake Side Marina and Wedowee Marine. Please see below for additional details of home.
Location: The property is approximately 1.5 hours from both Atlanta and Birmingham (located on lake side closest to I-20). In addition, the home has a new deck that extends 50 feet out onto the lake with a slip for you to park your boat.
More property details:

In addition, there are 2 living rooms, both equipped with custom stone fireplaces with gas logs, and large flat screens for your enjoyment. The property is surrounding by large, old oak trees, various outdoor gathering areas, including a large deck off the main floor, stone patio that overlooks the top of the property, and a fire table (seasonal) that resides on the deck that is furnished once temperatures drop.
Layout of home:
The living room opens up to a spacious kitchen and dining area. The fully equipped kitchen is well stocked with granite counter tops and stainless-steel appliances. Kitchen has stainless steel cookware (no non-stick), and stainless flatware. Off the kitchen you will find a casual powder room (half bath) and laundry area.

You can also walk out on to the back deck from the dining area or the master bedroom. The large deck overlooks the lake with rocking chairs and has a Weber grill and is the perfect place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or to take in a sunset. Just beyond the deck is a beautiful stone patio, walkway and hammock where you can take in the panoramic views of the lake as well as various yard games.

Air Mattresses/Parking: Please note that we also do not allow air mattresses to be brought into the home and that space limitations require us to limit parking to 3-4 cars. There is no street parking.
A note of caution for those with limited mobility - consistent with the area, this property is elevated with beautiful views, and with those views come steps to the water. While the path from the home to the water is gradual, and constructed with several comfortable landings, there are steps to the water that we want all guests to be aware of prior to booking with us.
Swimming off the dock at Tranquility is some of the best on the lake! Located just off the main channel, our dock is located on water that is approximately 28 feet deep and makes for a wonderful day of swimming, fishing, and being at the lake.
Fishing on Lake Wedowee: A reminder that fishing on the lake requires a license that can be purchased online from the Alabama Dept of Conservation & Natural Resources.
When the weather cools: Lake Wedowee is not only spectacular during the spring and summer, but is also a peaceful getaway during the fall and winter months. Cozy up in this authentic log cabin beside either of the indoor gas fireplaces, or venture outdoors enjoy the fire table, grill and comfortable rocking chairs. The changing color of the leaves, hiking, and fishing in the area are all extraordinary during the cooler weather months. In addition, the cabin is decorated for the holidays beginning Thanksgiving weekend through New Year's.
Water in the off season: Alabama Power lowers the water level about 8' starting in early October until late March. It does affect the appearance of the shoreline but we have year-round water so you will always have a waterfront view at our home. While one of our docks remains floating, the walkway to get to the floating dock sits at an angle during some of the off-season.
We would love to host you and thank you for your interest in our home!
