Rustic Mountain Lakefront Cottage

Get away from it all at our rustic mountain lake front cottage on Pine Island Circle. Spacious, wooded and VERY private lot, long circular driveway great for lots of parking and stone path from house to water and a large boat dock. Renovated and updated bathroom. Large boat dock for lounge chairs, tying up three to four boats (with electrical outlet to charge batteries). GREAT fishing spot on Pine Island where many fishing tournaments have been won!
WIFI and Cable TV.
Large wooden deck with built-in seating and 15 foot long picnic table. Adjoining patio has charcoal grill, picnic table and fire pit. We are at the center of a quiet bay which opens into the main channel of Guntersville Lake. Easy access to nearby public launches on either side of property 2 miles away including Waterfront Bay Grocery, Tackle and Launch 2 miles down the street. We are located off Highway 79 between Guntersville and Scottsboro.

Perfect location and beautiful property. Will be back to this one. Secluded and relaxing. The wildlife and a couple of sweet neighboring dogs made for a wonderful weekend. This spot is popular for a reason. Hope we can bring the kayaks next time. Thank you for a great getaway!

Great location and convenience for a fishing trip. Might be leaving on the term rustic little too heavy. Bath tub and shower need major attention. Furniture could use an upgrade as well. Idea location just really needs some TLC.

Joyce was welcoming and responsive when we had a question. The cabin is old but it was clean and everything worked as it should. We love the location and that it is also pet friendly. Our dogs enjoyed the stay as much as we did. This was our second time staying at Bishops Bay, we will be returning.

Everything was good for the stay. The only issue was getting boat backed in. Anything longer than 21 foot boat may not fit. Other than that this is a very nice place to stay and awesome view.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. I love rustic and this was rustic with a lot of character. I live how the house was decorated. The views of the lake were absolutely breathtaking. The sunrise on the lake was soothing. The beds were comfortable. Some might take issue that some things are dated and need some work. The beauty and rustic vibes totally made it for us. We will stay here again.

Host was responsive and polite. House was older and could use some updated amenities. Property was peaceful and beautiful this time of year. House was clean but older. Had to hunt for 3 prong outlets, fans were older and in need of some updating and working light bulbs. Bathroom needs a new shower curtain, probably a curved one as the tub area is very confining. But the stay was nice and cozy and we had a good time. Would stay again, we are just spoiled city folk.

The view was gorgeous. My daughters had a great time fishing off the dock. The home was older and needs some maintenance and a deep clean, but it was comfortable and worked for us. There was a problem with the coffeemaker the first morning and the owner worked diligently to fix the issue. The kids are already asking when we’re going back.

We had a wonderful time! This is our third visit. The home is older but is very comfortable. The view of the water is perfect and the deck and patio are great for bird watching. We have observed Eagles nesting each time we have visited as well as many water fowl, backyard birds and owls. The bed was also very comfortable! We look forward to returning soon. The bathroom has some recent damage but the owner is addressing that. Ms. Bishop communicates well and is available if needed. This home is perfect for our needs. We appreciate getting to enjoy the peaceful environment and simple restful privacy this home offers.

This was an older property but exceptionally clean, very comfortable, furnishings and beds and right on the water in one of the prime Fishing locations on Lake Guntersville. Property owner was very responsive and kept us informed prior to in during our trip.

What makes this property unique

Views of the lake are great within this secluded, shaded lot. Makes you feel like you are at the lake all by yourself and just seconds from catching fish or sun.
