We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home on the lake. It was clean and spacious for our children and grandchildren. There was plenty to do for the children and adults-we played volleyball and badminton in the sand court, which also was a great place for the kids to play. The lake access was easy. Paddle boards and some water toys were provided. The high quality of the landscaping, patio, and lawn added to the enjoyment of our time there.

Excellent weekend getaway

This place is perfect to put the boat in and leave it in the water ready to go all weekend. We have stayed here twice now and will be back again. Great house that comfortably slept 10 and easy access to water to play or walk right back in the house for food or rest. Everything is convenient and makes a short trip easy

Everything you need and more!

Our week here was so enjoyable! Beautiful home with plenty of space for our family. Our kids enjoyed the bunk area with arcade game, paddle boards and floats. The seating and covered area with large fan at the dock made it easy for guests of all ages to be comfortable. A sweet treat left by the host was such a nice surprise. Great memories made! We look forward to returning!

Fantastic property and host

Everything about our experience exceeded our expectations. Crystal (host) was very thoughtful about everything and went above and beyond. The house was very clean and had fantastic amenities. We hosted a small number of friends and family for our son's graduation from UA and everyone was impressed on how nice the house was.

Great property for a game weekend

We came to town with friends and family for a Bama game. Not too far from T town and traffic on game day was not bad. Owners supplied everything needed including s’mores for the nice little fire pit. Many TVs for watching other games during a good football weekend. Wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the house.

We had an amazing my time this weekend while visiting our daughter and attending an Alabama game. House is stunning, property is beautiful and we enjoyed the boathouse for a day to relax. House was clean, neat, well stocked and they thought of everything. This is the best VRBO experience we have ever had. We were so pleased with this property and will definitely be back!

Wonderful Stay!!!

My family loved staying at this beautiful lake house! The owners have thought of everything needed for the perfect getaway on Lake Tuscaloosa. The house is roomy and accommodating with games, cookware, extra blankets, toiletries, etc. The house is beautifully decorated. We especially loved playing badminton and volleyball on the sand court and using the paddle boards! There are several “hangout spots” outdoor, including the back porch, grill/fire pit area, and the dock. The dock even has a nice bar area. I highly recommend staying at this house, and the owners were nice and responsive. We will certainly be back to stay here!

A Perfect Getaway for All Ages

We recently stayed at the lake house with a group of young adults and kids, and it was an absolute delight! The lake house offers a plethora of activities to keep everyone entertained. The volleyball court was a hit with our energetic group. The boat dock is the perfect spot to unwind. We spent lazy afternoons there watching the water and enjoying the gentle breeze. Being near a grocery store was a huge plus. Forgot marshmallows for s’mores? No worries! A quick trip to the store solved our snack crisis. The house itself was cozy and well-equipped. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kids loved their bunk beds, and the adults appreciated the spacious living area. The lake house is a fantastic retreat for families, friends, and anyone seeking relaxation. Whether you’re playing volleyball, fishing, or simply enjoying the view, this place has something for everyone. We will definitely be back!
