Coming from up north in January to Sweet Home to fish

Once again my stay here was absolutely a great experience it was so so peaceful just like before no busy traffic , loud noise , or loud neighbors at the motel like my buddies were experiencing in town but yet this little slice of heaven in not to far out where you can go get what you need . Thank you Trudy for welcoming us in again we really love staying there when we come to Alabama.

Peaceful and fun

Peaceful and felt secluded even though nice and helpful neighbors. Birds, fish, fire pit, exploring the river in canoes, views of the river and sunset were our favorite highlights. Wonderful host!

Jeannie & Bobby

The owner met us when we got there & we had such a wonderful visit. The pictures were great; that is exactly how nice it is! Nice quiet neighborhood with plenty of wildlife for entertainment! We loved fishing on the dock; even though TVA lower the level of the river. Would definitely stay again if ever in that area in our future travels.

Stargazing & More

Wonderful views, lots of deer and birds. House was cute, too! Picked this location after viewing several others for stargazing with telescope. Host was exceptionally accommodating and even called to make sure it was perfect. Will be staying again and highly recommend for anyone looking to get away from it all (even if it's just light pollution)!

Elk River oasis

Stayed here for the second time for our annual Elk River fishing trip. This was our 34th straight fishing trip. The lakehouse is the perfect place to stay for fishing the Elk. Owners are very nice and easy to get in touch with. Kris

A hidden gem

This property by far exceeded my expectations! My daughter was looking for a “summer camp” feel for her birthday and she actually found this listing. Every parent who dropped off their teen asked for a link to the property. The cabin has wonderful views, back porch is great for entertaining, and the boats included were the cherry on top. Such a relaxing home away from home.

Best

We can’t say enough about this place!! The pictures don’t do justice. It was very clean, inviting. The property was nice. Good fishing, lots of wild life to watch and the back porch over looking the water was nice to relax after fishing. We loved the 2 sliding doors that open. Loved listen to the pouring rain in the dark. You won’t be disappointed if you choose this beautiful place. We been to a bunch of places and we think this one has been the best!!!

Great place! Great amenities! Great owner!

I traveled up to Alabama for 8 days and the first places I stayed were horrible. I attempted to stay in some cabins and they had bed bugs and insect infestations. I was in desperate need for a new place and found this amazing cabin on the water. I messaged the owner at 11pm while sleeping in my truck. She quickly prepared the cabin and had it ready for me within a few hours. The host was amazing and the cabin was just as great!! Felt like home and I was easily able to sleep at night. The kitchen was great too and had everything I needed to cook. I’ll always be eternally grateful for the hospitality the host showed helping me out. Highly recommended!
