Beautiful views of the lake from the huge picture windows and comfy couches for convention or for watching movies. We had a wonderful friend’s reunion here; having a separate bath for each bedroom was a plus.

Relaxing

Nice quiet get away. Not a lot to do if you I are lookng for excitement. Nice restaurants nearby. Antique stores to shop. Fishing wasn't that great unless you have a boat. Altogether a nice quiet trip.

Celebrating a birthday

This property was clean and nicely appointed. The Deck and steps needed sweeping, but can understand with all the trees around. The weather didn't cooperate, but we had plenty of indoor activities. All in all, a nice family get-together.

Lovely Lake House

This is our second time staying at the lake house while our kids were at Space Camp. We loved the view, the peace and quiet, and being able to swim everyday. We also enjoyed renting a pontoon boat from nearby Lucy's Marina. It was a wonderful place to relax!

Beautiful lake view

The house was just as pictured. It was very comfortable and the view was amazing! Even though there were houses very close on both sides we never heard or saw anyone. We were able to relax. Drove through beautiful Joe Wheeler Park and saw lots of deer. We also enjoyed visiting Athens and eating there.

What a retreat

Visiting Rogersville Alabama family from our home in North Carolina was a long trek and we were delighted to find this dream just a few miles from them! What views! What quiet! Not only a good visit but a quiet retreat for my husband and I to enjoy coffee in morning and glass of wine at night! Very clean and host was accommodating in every way! Lovely lake views and birds to watch. We will visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Phillip Evans

Host profile image
We (Phillip and Reiga) have 2 young boys and all enjoy using the lake house ourselves when we have time. We own and manage rental of the house ourselves, and live not too far away from the lake house, in Athens, AL.

Why they chose this property

One of the great things about the house is the proximity to everything you need to have a good trip to the lake. There is a full service marina and restaurant on-site and Athens is a short drive away for other restaurants, groceries, and stores. The house also has one of the best lake views around and very excellent fishing.
