We had the best time staying here! They had amazing amenities, not too far from downtown florence, and were available for anything we had questions about. The pool was such a plus. We did have to purchase baking sheet pans and salt/ pepper but everything else was 10/10! Jim and Susan were so incredibly sweet and accommodating.

Jim and Susan are absolutely great hosts. Although they live upstairs, they are often out on the weekends and don’t disturb privacy whatsoever. The pool, hot tub and dock are all top-notch.The property is also appointed very nice. They didn’t skimp on cost for the furniture and decorations, which makes you truly feel like you’re living in a nice home on the lake.We marked this one as a favorite and will be back.

Delightful Respite

We are two golfing couples who golf at the nearby RTJ courses every fall. We usually stay in Florence at the Marriott. Our stay here was so much better. The house is great and we were interacting with our friends in a comfortable environment instead of being in a noisy bar. We will plan to return for our next visit.

Great Family Getaway!

We had a great time relaxing and getting away for a few days. The accommodations were amazing. All of us enjoyed the use of the private pool during the hot summer days. The kids even enjoyed night swimming. Jim and Susan were excellent hosts and our family enjoyed Gumbo the parakeet who had a fun time interacting with us. Will definitely come back again!

Muscle Shoals Music Studio Tours

This property is amazing and the owners are extremely responsive and hospitable. There are great views of the beautiful river throughout the home and the floor plan couldn't be better. The pool and outside sitting area were also spectacular with an even better river view. If you're travelling to the Muscle Shoals area, I'd highly recommend this property.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Jim and I began building this home in 2013. We put lots of blood sweat and tears into this home. We married on the deck once finished and moved into it in 2014. We finished the downstairs and installed the Pool in 2016. We love our home and feel like we are on an endless vacation here in this piece of Paradise in the Shoals. We love meeting new people and sharing our downstairs with them. If you want privacy while renting that is exactly what you will have. We respect our renters. We are laid back and easy to adapt.
We have been extremely cautious during this Pandemic. We make sanitizing and cleanliness as our first priority. We drain hot tub after each rental and the entire downstairs is thoroughly sanitized.

Why they chose this property

This property is very peaceful and relaxing with beautiful mornings watching the birds and drinking coffee by the pool. There is beautiful sunsets and lots of boaters to watch coming in and out of the Marina and fishing. It is at the center of the Shoals within 10 minutes from most anything in the area. It is 10 minutes from the RTJ Golf course .There is a marina 5 minutes from our house that you can rent a Pontoon boat and enjoy Wilson Lake or You can fish from the pier here. If you want to bring a boat the dock 10 minutes away and tie up at the pier here.
