Quaint location with lovely views and not too far from hunstville and parks

We had a great experience for our 9th anniversary. The home was nicely decorated with a lovely kitchen and dining area. The home is situated on the back portion of the property with lovely trees changing color in the fall. They have a varied area out back for different seating based on the desire and need for the guests with one area covered that was enjoyable to sit during a rainstorm. The bathroom a nicely redone and we had plenty of room throughout the home. The backyard has a river that runs along it and is enjoyable to sit and watch as the water slowly goes by as well as an area with a fire pit. It was pleasant and quiet and were pleased with our stay. We will definitely plan to come again

This is the second year my friends and I have ventured to Huntsville for a summer concert. I can honestly say that I’d love to stay at this location every year after! The property is beautiful. There wasn’t a morning where I wasn’t sitting on the porch with a coffee in hand, enjoying the view. The house was very clean. The hosts were in direct contact at all times if we needed anything. We can’t wait to come back!
