Just what we needed for a quiet relaxing getaway. Home is very comfortable. Great waking up to a lake view no matter what the weather conditions. Scattered rain showers obscured our sunsets during our stay; but, the few sunsets we did see were beautiful. Our host was very responsive.

The most beautiful property and well kept. The lake view is unbelievable and gorgeous early in the morning. Host is quick to answer questions and extremely accommodating. If you’re looking for a lake rental, this is the one!!!

The house was clean and well furnished. Very reasonable rate and the sunsets were amazing! We plan to stay again and explore the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge. Carter was quick to respond when there was an issue with the keys.

Our family stayed for an extended weekend together. The accommodations were spacious and the screen porch was a great place to enjoy the lake views. The beautiful sunsets each evening were magnificent! It was our home away from home, and we can’t wait to come back.

About the host

Your host

Former military, North Alabamian, husband, father, and musician.

Why they chose this property

The house is very nice, very comfortable, and built for relaxation from top to bottom. Our home is full of good vibes and surrounded by God's beautiful creation. It is an exceptional bird watching destination with all manner of songbirds, waterfowl, birds of prey including bald eagles and osprey. The river and view is unbelievable and the sunsets cannot be beaten. If you need a place to unwind, pick your guitar, read or write, this is your destination. We have all manner of things to do from kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, skiing and watersports. It is very quiet and isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city but not to far to enjoy entertainment and attractions in Florence, Muscle Shoals, Athens, or Huntsville

What makes this property unique

Dock, Boat Ramp, Parking and Garage, some of the best bass fishing in the world right out the back door, and indescribable beauty.
