This place is even CUTER than the pictures!! The screen porch and swing were my FAVORITE part! My daughter and I spent a lot of time kayaking and swimming. A swim pad and float were available for use. The kayaks were one of the reasons I picked here! It rained most of Saturday and he stopped by that evening and told us we could stay longer than Checkout on Sunday since it was supposed to be sunny! It had everything we needed. I tried to season the cast iron best I could lol. My daughter has requested we go here every year before she goes back to school! Not to mention it’s so close to my own home that it was a nice little staycation. We will definitely rent this place again and again!!!

Great stay as usual. River view is excellent. Close enough to town to be convenient, but far enough out to seem secluded.

An Absolutely Wonderful StaySometimes you stumble upon a place that turns out to be so much more than you ever expected, and this was certainly one of those places!We originally found this home while looking for somewhere to spend our son’s Fall Break that would still keep us close enough to Athens, Alabama, for his football practices and games.The home itself was absolutely beautiful, exceptionally clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. And THE PORCH! I truly cannot say enough about that porch! It was hands down one of our favorite features of the entire property. The perfect place to relax, unwind, and simply enjoy the surroundings. We could have spent our entire vacation right there!The kayaks were another incredible bonus! We took advantage of them several times throughout our stay, and they added so much fun and enjoyment to our week.What truly sets this property apart is its host, Mark. His attentiveness, kindness, and genuine hospitality were simply exceptional. On the rare occasions we needed assistance, he was immediately responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He even surprised us with an incredibly thoughtful gesture. That kind of generosity and personal attention is something you don’t encounter every day, and it certainly didn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated.We absolutely loved every minute of our week here and genuinely hated having to leave. In fact, we’ve already talked about returning!

Loved the porch

Sitting on the porch in the morning with my coffee, hearing the birds and watching the water was great. The rest of the house was great too.

Perfect fishing trip

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this cabin on the Elk River. The cabin was spotless upon arrival—everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged. You can tell the owners take pride in keeping it welcoming and comfortable. The peacefulness of the location was exactly what we needed. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying quiet evenings by the water made for a truly relaxing experience. Perfect spot for fishing, unwinding, and getting away from it all. Mark came by to check on us and asked if we needed anything, which was truly thoughtful. We will definitely be back!

Great Waterfront Getaway

Our family of 6 stayed for 3 nights in Mark’s great cabin on the Elk River. The house was well equipped and had plenty of room for all 6 us. Our oldest son with his fiancée visited for the day as well. We all loved the dock to fish and swim from and we especially enjoyed the use of the kayaks, none of us wanted to leave. It was nice having a gas grill there as well. Mark was very prompt and informative when communicating with us and he made our stay easy and relaxing. We highly recommend this waterfront rental and we will be recommending it to our family and friends and will be staying here again in the future, hopefully for much longer next time!

Nice Elk River Getaway

This is a nice waterfront rental that our family really enjoyed, for the 2nd time. Mark is a great host, very friendly and accomodating and he ensured we had everything we needed after we got there. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed and a great deck to view the river from and a waterfront dock to launch the kayaks from or fish. I highly recommend this cabin or his other cabin next door if you want a peaceful getaway. Do be advised that the internet service is very limited due to not anything else available in that rural area, not an issue for us though it was great to unplug for a while. We did have enough cell service to make calls and use our data as needed. Again, highly recommend! We will definitely stay in one of Marks cabins again!

Fiddlers Weekend

The property was great. We travel to Athens yearly for Fiddlers Convention and this property was away enough to be quiet, but convenient to trails, fishing and ASU. The upper deck is perfect for drinking a cup of coffee and watch sunrise or sunset. Do make sure to get managers phone number before arriving. Had to drive several miles to get enough phone signal to look up phone number because of a problem with entry code. Once got in contact, got the problem solved immediately. Clean, quiet, and beautiful view out in the countryside where you can see the stars. GREAT STAY!

Mark was a super friendly guy who helped us through a few hiccups during our stay. The house needs some tidying but other than that we had a great time and appreciated Mark’s extra efforts to make it up to us by taking us on a very scenic pontoon boat ride.

Enjoyed the quiet and wildlife and the porch is great! Rain didn’t help fishing but was very relaxing and refreshing.

Glad you had a good time. I wish you could have had better weather. If you decide to come back, you might want to look at coming just after Labor Day when the water is still at summer pool. It starts dropping after Labor Day, but still good until the end of Sept.

Perfect Weekend Getaway!

This was the perfect place for a quick weekend getaway. The owner was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed! The weather wasn’t great, but our kids still had a blast. The tornado sirens went off and the owner called to let us know where the tornado was relative to us. That’s great service for people not familiar with the area. We will be back!
