Thank you for having a place for family&friend to enjoy outdoors wc outdoors
The cabin on the hill was a nice retreat. The large yard was pleasant. The house was very nice. We enjoyed the fire pit. The location was near many hiking trails and state parks which was great for our family.
We came to the area for the music festival that was rained out by a hurricane. The house was just perfect. The area was beautiful and we saw lots of Alabama we have never seen before. The house is cozy and away enough from the lake but close enough to still enjoy.
My husband and I are on our way to the mid west for an annual deer hunt. Our son is working in a town near the cabin. We wanted to stop and see him for a couple of days. He stayed with us two of the three days we stayed. It was convenient to restaurants and groceries, as well as, exploring. The cabin is clean and comfortable.. The Carrs were very helpful and made us feel welcome
The cabin was in a very nice location just off the lake with a nice yard, cabin itself was very fairly nice inside. Honestly our only complaint with the stay was there was dog hair everywhere.
This was such a clean and nice place for a few days fishing
No complaints. Great owners who have a very rustic place to rent. We really only used it for a place to park boat and shower and sleep but it’s secluded and we loved it! We will be back! Thanks Casey and Pat!
We had a great time staying at this property. My favorite part was the fully enclosed porch area, our toddler was able to play safely while we relaxed on the comfortable porch furniture nearby. The grill on site was convenient and perfectly overlooked the fire pit where we spent one night roasting s’more and grilling. Everything was nice, clean and peaceful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
We had a great stay. We take a yearly trip to Guntersville for bass fishing and this is the best accommodations we have had so far. It is located in a great location in middle of lake. The house is great and has everything you need. We hope to return next year.
This cabin is absolutely beautiful! The Carrs were wonderful to speak with and the booking/check in process were a breeze. The property location was conveniently located between Guntersville and Scottsboro so accessing the areas sites were easy. Will definitely consider booking for another trip.
Beautiful home. Nice fire pit out back to relax and roast some hot dogs. Great indoor relaxation enviorment. Enough parking for boat or pontoon and close to water.
This home was everything the ad said it was. It was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The homeowners were very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay at this property again!
This is an amazing property. Very clean and discreet. Plenty of parking for 4 or 5 vehicles. Right off of main road. Close to the lake. I would definitely stay here again.
Overall stay was good. Enjoyed being close to Waterfront store and dock area.
The road going up to cabin was a little steep but was manageable. The porch cushions need to be upgraded as they had what seems to be dog hair on them but we used the rockers which was fine.
We enjoyed our stay
My buddies and I stayed the weekend for a golf trip and wanted to find a private cabin where we weren’t right on top of other people, and that’s exactly what we got with this property. A beautiful house with everything you need to cook meals at the house. We used the grill provided to cook steaks. There’s also a fire pit that’s great for relaxing around at night. 4k Smart tv with Roku in the living room for your entertainment needs. The water pressure in the shower is AMAZING. Not at all what you’d expect from a rental like this.

Spring break
I wasn’t gonna say anything, but Vrbo keeps asking me to leave a review. We cut our trip a day short because we just felt odd in the house. My husband and me book a lot of houses through VRBO over the years. This one was a little bit different. We were only given 5 towels to use for a family of 4 for 3 nights. We went to town to buy more towels so that we could continue our trip. The description of the house was a little deceiving because it said that it was on the lake under the details section, but it is near the lake. It also said there was a playground, but there wasn’t one on the property. The house had stains in the carpet bedrooms and some of the light switches. The baseboards in the bathroom were a little dirty. What made us feel a little odd is that there are master locks on two cabinets in the kitchen?? I have never seen this before. Normally, we always had full access to the house in previous rentals. Some of the house is locked up and you can’t access it. You can’t access the screen porch that’s upstairs. You can’t access any closets to hang your clothes. The traffic at night was so loud even with our sound machines because it’s near a highway. The cushions on the front porch were a covered in pollen, so we stayed inside. The picture shows multiple chairs at the fire pit, but there were only 3 upon arrival. I just dont understand all the locked doors. I wish I asked more questions.
Nice place to stay plenty of room to stretch after being on water all day. Driveway is little steeper than picture shows but was fine. Previous storms may have washed gravel to high points at top, need little grade work and it would be smooth. Really nothing but good to say otherwise highly recommend!
Cabin is as described as in the listing.
Just a couple of things, there were light bulbs that needed to be replaced. It was super hot the weekend we were there. The air conditioning did not cool the upstairs where the bedrooms are. We were very thankful for the full size fans on the front porch as we used those upstairs to try to cool enough to sleep. There is not much water pressure in the upstairs shower. Other than that it was a great stay, beds are super comfortable.
