About the host
Hosted by Frank & Jamie Leatherbury
This cottage is the Historic Fish Camp. Purchased in 1939 along with the Grand Hotel, the cottage has operated as the office, entertainment venue, horse racing and retriever field trials center and strategic planning center for many a card game or fishing adventure. While it has been modernized we have tried to decorate according to its history with a look and feel of 40's - 60's photos and memorabilia. The home is equipped with an office desk, internet, DirectTV, breakfast room, washer and dryer. The outdoor deck overlooks the field leading down to the river and boathouse. There is a patio for entertaining and a hot tub for relaxing.
The cottage sits just up the hill from Fish River and the boathouse. Kayaks, Canoes, and Paddleboards are available at no extra fee. The boat house serves the property but is most often quite private. The owners have another boat house nearby that they use. The boathouse is equipped with a grill , sink, refrigerator, microwave and television.
The property is dog friendly in honor of the history of National Retriever champions that have lived and played here. If you are more interested in opportunities to play with your dog you may find that info at BelleShain.com
All dogs are required to be registered through Belle Shain with current vaccination records.

Why they chose this property
We have been here for a long time because of the protected water access to the bay and Gulf of Mexico
What makes this property unique
In addition to being the Fish Camp for the Grand Hotel the property has two other historical events.
The property was encamped by General Canby of the Union army enroute to the battle of Blakeley, the last battle of the Civil War.
The property is the site of the historic Wingender Pottery. We have found various whole jugs from this pottery dating back into the late 1700's to early 1800's. The University of South Alabama Archeology department has visited and explored the site notably led by Bonnie L. Gums who published Made of Alabama Clay: Historic Potteries on Mobile Bay.
