We will definitely be back to this rustic lake house. Our daughter graduated from UAB masters program so we decided to make it a family trip. We even had a grad party there. The view of lake was perfect. It was stocked with more than enough kitchen ware. The game room was awesome and can sleep at least 7 just in that one room. My favorite spot was the screened porch and the floating dock. It could use some freshening up though. We made some really nice family memories.
