About this property

Reel ‘em Inn - Lake Guntersville Waterfront Retreat for the Family and Fisherman

2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom LakeFront Cabin.
5 beds total (1 Queen bed & 4 twin beds). Directly on the lake!

* Newly updated Board & Batten exterior and paint, February 2026! *

Welcome to Reel 'em Inn, our home away from home, close to all things in Guntersville & Scottsboro. Easy 8 mile drive to Goose Pond Colony Resort. The entire 2 story cabin is all yours to enjoy. We have sought out to equip our home to a high standard and to anticipate your needs for a cozy Lake-Front stay. This comfy cabin directly on Guntersville Lake has everything you will need to spend time fishing from the bank, enjoying #LakeLife or just relaxing on the lake-view porch or by the sprawling fire pit . With our hi-speed fiber internet, portable desk table, and cushy chairs, you can also work remote (telecommute) with ease and dependability. The cabin sits only steps away from the waters edge with panoramic views of, and easy access to, the lake via the flat sprawling backyard. Pura Smart Fragrance Diffuser added in September 2025. Remotely managed device emits calming, delicate scents for relaxation. One in living room and one upstairs. If you prefer not to have them in use, simply ignore them or unplug if you wish, but please plug back in at the end of your stay.

Access to the private, gated neighborhood boat ramp and community dock is included! The cabin offers an open 2 car garage with plenty of outlets and lights for your trailers and for keeping your boats ready to hit the water. Your truck and boat (even with PowerPoles) will easily fit in the garage with room to spare. The driveway is also flat, long and spacious to accommodate additional parking.

Peaceful Getaway on Lake Guntersville

If you want to throw your kayaks right into the lake and do a little fishing, and stay in a charming, clean house with eagles, herons, and ospreys flying overhead this is the place! Downtown Guntersville with some good restaurants isn't far either. The hosts were so very accommodating as well.

Why they chose this property

The pictures, reviews, and location all speak for themselves: The Reel 'em Inn is the getaway destination for our family and we look forward to sharing our little slice of paradise with you.

What makes this property unique

From the wide screened porch to the easy stroll to directly to the edge of the lake, this house had everything in between for us to enjoy with our little family. We love fishing and nature, and right from the start, we were able to spot and catch bass, catfish, bluegill - even huge crawfish from the gorgeous waters of the lake. We put them right back though, so come along, they are ready for you to catch and Reel 'em Inn!
