What an amazing place to stay! The home is beautiful and spotless and exceeded all of our expectations. The marina is a fun place as well and we absolutely loved the deck! If we come back to Alabama this will be the place we stay! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!
Very nice place to relax after our cruise before we traveled back home. Our grandsons did a little fishing at the marina. Nice deck to sit and watch the lake. Only suggestion we would make would be to have a grill.
This was the perfect stay for a quick little weekend bachelorette trip. Everything was clean, the beds were comfy, if we got hungry and didn’t feel like cooking we just walked to the marina and ate! Great view from the porch/living room windows. If i have another party/get together with friends again we will defiantly stay here again!
We had a great time in Alabama during our stay. The home has everything you need. We cooked a meal most every night and the kitchen was well stocked. The house is nicely updated and the beds are very comfortable.
The house was great. Perfect little hide away place right next to the ramp. Made our trip so easy. Love our stay..

The cutest cleanest well stocked house!! We enjoyed our weekend escape and loved so much being able to bring our dogs! You couldn’t get any closer to the dock for great boat access, and the beautiful lake views from inside are such a pleasure. We look forward to returning again!
From the outside a lovely cabin by the lake, on the inside all the modern amenities of a luxury apartment. Plenty of space and bedding, towels and fully equipped kitchen for a large family.
The house is as described - we had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and kitchen was well stocked. The location is perfectly set next to the marina if you plan to haul a boat. Plenty of parking and easy ramp. The Marina restaurant was a friendly and casual place to grab a bite, replenish beer/ice, and load the kids w ice cream. Sitting on the deck with the lake view and my coffee was my favorite part. The lake itself was fun and easy to navigate. We will be back!
This property was perfect for our 2 night stay. I gave 4 stars for cleanliness due to most dishes and utensils in the cabinets and drawers being dirty. I ran them through a wash in the dishwasher, so not too big of a deal. There were also a lot of small dead ants on the beds in the bunk room. This property is very well set up with nice furniture, the only suggestion would be to put a nonslip pad under the living room rug.
Great place to stay. Very comfortable and clean house with everything you need to feel like home. Great views on the lake and very quiet area. Hosts were great and answer any questions you have quickly.
