We loved staying here - a perfect place to relax and spend time with family.A well put together space with lots of thoughtful touches.The kitchen is incredibly well stocked and we could cook as if at home, maybe even better than home.The lakeside location is gorgeous and we day tripped to Muscle Shoals and local hiking spots.The host was very communicative and friendly, even recommending somewhere for us to stop off on our drive from Birmingham.Would certainly recommend.

The house was only 15 minutes away from Florence. I actually brought kitchen items with me because I was afraid I wouldn't have what I needed. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Everything I needed was already there. The host was responsive and answered my questions in a timely fashion. The house is absolutely beautiful and provided the peaceful escape we needed.

Great golf vacation On beautiful Lake Wilson

annual golf outing with 8 old friends. Nice outdoor areas to enjoy the lake and the spring weather. The house was perfect for us although it was a drive to the RTJ golf courses and attractions like downtown Florence. We’d stay here again.

Great view of Shoal Creek with gentle slope with a couple of steps to the dock.Home was very well equipped-plenty of dishes, cups, silverware, cooking utensils and cookware. Coffee and filters ready to use. Some savory spices were in cabinet. Ice maker and filtered water in fridge/freezer.Towels including beach towels were plentiful. Kayaks, canoe & life preservers were on the dock.Several outdoor seating areas including covered & screened porch.Beds were comfy and sleeping areas were well distributed for privacy.One minor suggestion is for hosts to provide a couple of extra rolls of toilet paper. We stayed 4 nights with 9 adults and some daytime visitors, so we did get low on TP and additional rolls were not in the house.Each bath had plenty of soap at sink and body wash in shower.It was very clean and bathrooms and kitchen were modern.

Beautiful property with a great dock. Really sleeps 12

This property is exactly as listed, if anything it’s a little bigger than what it seems. Four bedrooms with king beds and another bedroom with a twin bed is a tremendous amount of space and it’s got plenty of outdoor living area to socialize and relax. The dock is super well-maintained and excellent for pulling a boat up to or kayaking and jumping off of to swim.The house were super easy and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Anna McKelvey

Host profile image
My husband and I have loved traveling and staying in amazing Airbnbs over the years, so it's really a dream come true to be able to host and manage my own lake-house Airbnb! I grew up swimming, fishing, and boating on the Tennessee River.

Why they chose this property

The river is one of my favorite places and I'm honored to be a small part of others getting to experience its beauty and recreation.

What makes this property unique

What makes Lakeside Retreat truly unique is its thoughtful blend of private spaces and gathering places, all oriented around stunning water views. Unlike typical lake houses, this property offers four king-size beds and a separate suite with its own kitchenette - perfect for multi-generational families or groups seeking both togetherness and privacy. The home's position on a calm slough of Wilson Lake provides a more peaceful setting than properties on the main lake, while still being just 20 minutes from downtown Florence.

The property stands out for its multiple levels of water engagement - from the screened porch and covered patio to the private dock equipped with kayaks and paddle boards. Each floor offers its own distinct water view and outdoor living space, allowing guests to experience the lake from different vantage points throughout the day. Unique amenities like dual laundry areas, multiple outdoor dining spaces, and a 10-person screened porch create a perfect balance of luxury and practicality, making extended family stays comfortable and convenient.
