Great view for relaxing

We really enjoyed our stay. The back porch was our favorite spot to watch birds (take some bird feed to put on rail for good view). Beds were comfortable. Quiet area. Plan to go back in future

Peaceful getaway

We stayed here for my son’s college fishing tournament. It was great being right on the lake with amazing views. The house is bigger than I anticipated from the listing. The indoor space accommodated 8 easily. It was kind of cold when we were there so we couldn’t take advantage of the outdoor space, but it was well appointed for outdoor cooking and entertaining. The rental is about 20 minutes from grocery stores and restaurants, and I liked being away from the noise. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Lakeside Property

If you like hanging out in the sun on a dock over the lake or in the shade on a deck above the lake, or in a covered screened in porch further above the lake, you'll enjoy yourself here. The description is accurate. A bit out of the way, which may be the reason to choose this property. Still, Athens is only 20 minutes away, and the NASA Space Center is an easy trip.

Thanksgiving with Friends

We went back to Huntsville where I grew Up to visit old friends. We had a great stay. The King size bed was very comfportable. My wife actually commented on it as we have had many bad beds in the past. Thhe only issue I had, and knew going in was the distance to Huntsville. But we did enjoy our stay very Much!

Lovely Weekend Retreat

Our family stayed for an extended weekend together. The accommodations were spacious and the screen porch was a great place to enjoy the lake views. The beautiful sunsets each evening were magnificent! It was our home away from home, and we can’t wait to come back.

The only thing I’d change is to stay longer

We loved our stay here, I just wish we’d had a longer trip. The house is spacious and gorgeous, beds are comfy, the house was clean, kitchen was well-equipped, and pet-friendly. Super easy to find and such a pretty drive getting there from Atlanta. The flowers and yard likewise beautiful, with daisies, pineapple sage, and mums (I think they were mums) in the front, and a picnic table too! The views are breathtaking and hands down our favorite things were the screened in porch and deck. Y’all. It’s insanely beautiful with the sun on the water in the afternoons. We were there during a cool fall weekend so didn’t get in the water but man did we enjoy the porch and deck. Our host, Carter, was absolutely wonderful, super communicative, responsive, and helpful. Super enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in the Huntsville area. Thanks so much, Carter!

Think of rental as a camp

Description of home and amenities TOTALLY inaccurate. Numerous appliances not working, porch area was filled with dead insects, outdoors not well maintained. Advertised use of kayak but came with broken unusable paddle. Owner became quite angry when we complained and asked location of trash bags. Then threatened us with eviction and sending sheriff to property to evict us. Would have been quite amusing as would have encountered 3 women in their 70s! I reported owner and his threats to VRBO who will be reviewing him for this behavior. After told him I reported him his comment was :if
