About this property

Field and Stream Magazine voted Guntersville one of the top 10 fishing towns in the country. It is well known for it's Bass fishing and National tournaments, such as the Bass Masters Tournament. Guests often catch fish right off the bank or pier. The kids will love catching Bluegills, Catfish or Bream.

Summer and spring bring boating, swimming, fishing, skiing, or just sunning. If you have had too much sun, shop till you drop in Guntersville for antiques and bargains.

Downtown Guntersville has a nice shopping area. While you are there check out The Brick Restaurant for American Cuisine. You can eat and shop in the same building at Baker's on Main. Cafe 336 has a yummy, light lunch. The shops contain one of a kind gifts and decor to take back home. A great place to dine for lunch or dinner is The Rock House Eatery.

If you love a bargain, Visit Crazy Craz Boys that buy pallets of used Amazon merchandise and sell everything in bins for 7 dollars or less depending on the day of the week.

First Class Golf and Family Attractions: The Getaway is centrally located to four first class Golf Courses: Gunters Landing, Cherokee Ridge, Robert Trent Jones/Hampton Cove and Goose Pond.

Your whole family can discover Cathedral Caverns, which has the largest cave opening in a public cave in the U.S. It is only 20 minutes away. It is a treasure!

Spend a day exploring the Space and Rocket Center and Space Camp, in Huntsville, which attracts visitors from all over the world. Huntsville is about an hour away.

In the fall and winter curl up next to the fire with a good book from our collection of hard and paper backed books. Take a drive or a boat ride and treat yourselves to the explosion of fall colors.

What's new? Almost everything!!! In 2017 we added a 300 square feet master bedroom. The bathrooms were transformed into elegant, luxury bathrooms. New rock and an amazing mantlepiece are the focal point of the living room; that is if you can tear yourself away from the fabulous views of Lake Guntersville from each bedroom and living room. We have a beautiful new flagstone walkways, new landscaping, and larger driveway. We replaced the sliding glass doors in each bedroom that lead to the patio. We painted the living area paneling a light gray color, which brightened the space. We have painted the interior and much of the exterior. It was time to replace the boathouse. Now guests have their own slip with lift, chest freezer and fish cleaning station.

Friends trips
Six friends, 65+ stayed a four night weekend at this lovely home. Very comfortable for us! A level ranch on a beautiful lot overlooking Lake Guntersville. Plenty of nice restaurants nearby. Lots of shopping available. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen, though. Kicking back and watching the momma Robin feed her babies in the nest outside the window was as peaceful a stay as possible. Great getaway to let friends meet and catch up!

Lake views from every room
A great relaxing location with lake views from every room exactly as described. We loved hanging by the firepit. Our pets especially enjoyed the large windows to watch the birds. Additionally, Nicholas responded quickly on questions we had.

Beautiful Lakeview and A Bird Paradise
A quiet retreat with tranquil views of the lake, birds and beautiful sunsets from the dock. We loved the back patio in the evenings. Fishing was OK but had to be patient. Bass, catfish, bluegill, eagle, loons and ospreys were common.
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023

About the host

Hosted by Nicholas or Lyndall Hamlett

Host profile image
My parents, built this home in 1958. My father helped design the house with it's open living and dining area floor plan. I have kept some of the retro look by leaving some of the original fixtures, but it has also been completely updated the kitchen, laundry room, both bathrooms and added a 300 square foot master bedroom added.

I live just 3 miles away, also in Guntersville. My husband and I have lived here since 1990. He is the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Albertville. We are still keeping it in the family. My son Nicholas manages the property for me.

Why they chose this property

It is among a small number of lake houses situated on a relatively flat lot. Many of the other properties have a steep incline to walk up from the Lake to the house.

What makes this property unique

It is a jewel of lake front property, because it is not steep and keeps deep water year round. It has shady and sunny areas of this one acre property that provides privacy. It is in a cove. My favorite part about the house is the windows. In almost every room of the house you can look at the serene lake.
The retro look has been blended with modern convenience. For example there are modern granite countertops and antique dressers that have been passed down in my family.
