DOCK: Follow the stairs down to the lake and arrive at a large dock perfect for spending all day on the water. There is seating for 5 and room for your children to play. Sit, relax, cast a line for bass, swim, read a book and enjoy the outdoors. You have access to the deck box that stores life vests and floats.

From the living room, you can access the sunroom which is the star of the cabin. This room has spectacular views of the lake and is the ideal place to watch the sunrise. Cozy up with a book and lounge on the daybed or enjoy an afternoon nap. There are 2 seating chairs and a dining table for 7. You'll also find a game cabinet in here which puzzles, coloring activities for kids, board games and more.

The view was nothing short of spectacular! Linen was clean and sleeping was very comfortable. There was plenty of trash or litter scattered about the property. There is a terrible ant problem on the property. All in all we had a pleasant stay.

Great getaway
Farmhouse cozy with amazing lake views! We fished and swam during the day from the amazing dock and ate and played games around the table in the sunroom which has amazing lake views. It was so great to get off grid and relax! We had grandkids with us ages 10 and 3 and they were thrilled with the toy/book selections as well as the ride on toys and extensive concrete area to ride. The linens were luxurious and overall it was the perfect week! 5 out of 5 recommend! We ventured into town to experience the peach attractions and we also made it to the majestic caverns. Highly recommend both! Thanks for the great time! If we ever make it back to Clanton, we would love to stay again!

It’s OK
The house was fairly dated but clean. The outside was less desirable but quiet, never saw any neighbors and very little boat travel. The stairs were difficult and a lot of them but they also had weeds and briars starting to grow between steps. The kitchen was not good to work in with a large group.

Relaxing
Beautiful house . Beautiful location. Easy to communicate with the owners . It was nice to unplug from WiFi and cable tv and put our phones down and relax . The kids never complained about not having WiFi , they were to busy playing on the dock , fishing , and when it was time to come inside they enjoyed the games and toys that were available. We will definitely stay here again !
