The property was very clean and had plenty of room for all of us. Our teens had a great time playing pool, spending time on the water and there was plenty of space for everyone.
Our host was present to greet us when we arrived. Paula was outstanding, making sure everything was ready for us. The cabin was spotless and wonderfully decorated. We immediately felt right at home.

Thank you so much! We will definitely be there at times like this to make sure everything is as it should be upon arrival for our guests! I was surprised that I could fix it on my own and that it was actually a company issue with the wifi…but I am so glad it is fixed now :) Thank you for booking with us! You are welcome
back any time!
We booked this place for our annual girls trip. We have a group of about 13 women and girls from our family who try to get together once a year. This year, we decided to book something a little closer to home for most of us for different reasons. This place was perfect for what we needed. There were four bathrooms- perfect for 13 women/girls! Plenty to do inside and outside! Plenty of space for food and drinks. Ample sleeping areas. We had the best time and are already talking about coming back!
Wonderful! We needed a space with no stairs and it met our expectations. We had morning breakfasts for all family in one room and could visit. Pool table and ping pong made it fun! Rooms and beds were comfortable. Highly recommend this property! Exceptional!!!!

So glad you all enjoyed the lake house. You are welcome back any time!
Guys weekend away watching football and relaxing around the campfire. Host was a pleasure to work with and the open space for lounging and watching games was great. Only downside was the milfoil in the lake made fishing/kayaking impossible, but that is a seasonal issue.
Reel Paradise was exactly that! It exceeded our expectations is every way. A favorite feature was the enormous family room with comfortable seating for all eleven in our group. The kitchen was amazingly well equipped for preparing all our meals. There was not a single item we needed that was not provided. The house was sparkling clean in all areas. Communication with the host was excellent and check-in and check-out was a breeze. The large lot in a quiet neighborhood made us feel that we were isolated from the cares of the world. So many thoughtful amenities like nail clippers and access to extra equipment and linen if needed. Our grands were entertained with the basketball goal, pingpong table, pool table, and fire pit. They seldom touched their electronics. My grandson said, “Gran, it felt like home. I wanted to stay.” It was the perfect get away for our family.
Great house and location. Rooms are larger than pics show, especially the common areas, room for all. Everything went very well, no issues or surprises, communication with host was quick/smooth throughout. Simple check-in/check-out. Pool table was used every night. We had 8 guys, could have easily brought 16!
So glad you all enjoyed your stay! Looked like there was a big fishing tournament in Guntersville this weekend…boats everywhere! You all are welcome back any time! The house still looked nice after you checked out :)
We had a sister trip at this home. We enjoyed being together. Check in was easy. We had most of the things we needed for cooking. Paula was very helpful when we had a problem locking the door. Most of the beds were comfortable. We played scrabble inside one night and worked some jigsaw puzzles on the porch one rainy afternoon. We had a lot of rain.
This vacation spot fit our family well. We felt that the price was great for what we got.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! You are right, the price for 20 people to stay is much better here than having to pay for 5 hotel rooms to sleep the same amount :)
Really nice sized yard for entertaining. Lots of things to do for kids and teens and plenty of space for sleeping a large group. Good fair pricing so don’t expect upscale amenities but we had all we needed. Only thing that could be better is if the cove had enough water to park a boat at the dock, but that’s beyond the owners control.

Why they chose this property
I have always needed "blue space" in my life to help me relax. It doesn't matter if I'm at the beach or at the lake, just being on the water makes me happy!

I love spending time with my family. The lake house is big enough for us all to gather and enjoy the day =)
