Fish and Frolic Holiday – Lakefront Home with Boathouse, Porches & Fire Pit
Welcome to “Fish and Frolic Holiday” – Your Lakefront Getaway on Guntersville Lake
This two-story lakefront retreat is the perfect blend of comfort and adventure. Nestled in a quiet cove just minutes from the main channel, “Fish and Frolic Holiday” offers a boathouse (useable May - Sep), dock with WetSteps into the lake, loft, an upstairs balcony, a covered front porch, a furnished back porch, and a cozy fire pit—ideal for relaxing after a fun-filled day on the water.
Spend your days swimming, kayaking, canoeing, or boating on beautiful Guntersville Lake. When it’s time to unwind, enjoy a cold drink on the porch or balcony with lake views, fire up the grill for a family cookout, or gather around the fire pit for marshmallows and memory-making.
The home sits on a gently sloping, one-acre lot with 100 feet of shoreline and stunning lake views from the dining area, kitchen, loft, and upstairs bedroom. You’ll also have access to a private, gated neighborhood boat ramp and community dock—perfect for launching into your next adventure.

Meet Your Hosts – The Schellers
Hi, we’re the Schellers! We’ve been happily married since 1993 and are loving every step of this adventure called life. Now retired, we spend much of our time doing what we love most—traveling the world and exploring new places.
Over the years, we’ve stayed in vacation homes across 31 U.S. states, 5 territories, and more than 42 countries—including unforgettable stays in Hawaii, Cape Cod, South Korea, France, Bali, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Costa Rica, England, Egypt, and Germany (to name just a few). Those experiences have shaped how we host today—with attention to detail, comfort, and a personal touch.
We’re proud to now own and self-manage two vacation homes right on the beautiful shores of Lake Guntersville, and we’re thrilled to share them with fellow travelers looking to fish, relax, recharge, and make lifelong memories.
