About this property

Pet Friendly! Lakefront Cottage

Affordable and on the lake. Is it time to take a relaxing stay-cation, fish-cation or vacation? If you are planning a fishing trip or entering a tournament, or just want a relaxing break in Guntersville...this is your place! Bring your furbaby, $50 per pet/ per stay. Large deck for enjoying the outdoors and grilling out, and a fire pit perfect for chilly nights. Take a walk out on the pier and wet a line. The water in front of The Cottage is very shallow and silky on the bottom, I would not recommend swimming here. The kitchen is equipped to make food preparation a breeze. Two miles from Steel Ford Boat Launch and 5 miles from downtown Guntersville. You have to visit City Harbor offering dining, shops, and entertainment! Come stay with us, you won't be disappointed! Home of the 2014 Bass Masters Classic!

Great place!

Just me and my doggo for one night. One of the cleanest VRBO properties I've ever rented in over a decade of experience. Very comfortable, kitchen well appointed, large backyard, nice deck, definitely dog friendly, comfy master bed and a towel warmer in the master bath! Host was communicative and friendly. Will definitely stay here again

Excellent in every way!

We stayed two weeks and everything we hoped for was provided. The house and property were very well maintained and the dock provided some great fishing. JoAnna was very helpful and made our stay memorable. I would absolutely come back.

Wedding to attend

It was close to the wedding venue which made it convenient for us.also close to store so we could pick up things we needed like snacks and drinks. The place was perfect for getting ready to go to the wedding. All was good until my sister slipped and fell in the tub. I felt really bad for her her eye swelled and turn black and blue. Suggestions: be sure to get some mats or nonslip strips to put in the tub so others don’t have this happen.

Serenity on the Lake

This was a very peaceful cottage to spend our first visit to Northern Alabama. JoAnna communicated well with us, and we and our spaniel felt welcomed and cozy. The kitchen was well appointed, and the home so clean. We recommend, and would stay here again.

Wonderful, relaxing stay!

We enjoyed our recent stay at The Cottage so much! It's such a cute, clean home, and the proximity to everything in Guntersville just can't be beat! We also stayed at The Cottage last fall, and the recent updates to the kitchen are beautiful!!! The kitchen is fully stocked with every kind of pan, utensil, and appliance you would ever need! We look forward to staying with you again!

About the host

Hosted by JoAnna

Host profile image
A family of 6 with our last daughter studying at Auburn. Our family has grown to include 6 grand children.

Update! We are up to 7 grand children and yes, our last daughter graduated from Auburn in 2017! Automatic raise for us. We still love the lake and I love meeting the guest that stay with us.

Why they chose this property

For years we traveled to Guntersville from Madison, Alabama. In 2007 we decided to make the move. We found a house on a hill and moved. We were not able to buy property on the lake at that time. In 2012 found this house and made the decision to rent it at a resonable rate so others traveling to this area could enjoy this beautiful lake. This has given us many opportunities to meet people from all over. I have really enjoyed renting The Cottage and making others feel at home during their visit.

What makes this property unique

Pet friendly at a reasonable rate! I love the outside deck area! You can sit in the sun or the shade of the tree. Often you see ducks, geese, squirrels, and chipmunks. This is an older home with an arched hall entry. We have updated the flooring, master bath and kitchen. It is very comfortable and clean!

Two miles to the closest boat launch and PUBLIX! An older residential area located on a dead-end street.
