A rare one-of-a-kind place. If you are planning to visit anywhere north of Birmingham, do yourself a favor and stay at this family boathouse. Rich in history and richer in warmth and legacy...

Jerry was a fantastic host! If you’re looking for a private, quiet retreat this is perfect! We enjoyed looking over the balcony in the morning, seeing the sun come up, watching the turtles, and the beautiful setting! We really enjoyed taking the canoe out a couple times. Our fur babies loved being out in the Country too!

The scenery was stunning. The weather was fantastic, nice and cool. My dog had ample room to roam. It was nice taking her on walks on the trails.

Fantastic lakehouse

Perfect four days with our family of five. We jumped off the docks for a swim, fished for bass and bluegill (our kids caught two big bass), hiked the trail around the lake, played pickleball and paddleboarded. The house has everything you need--comfy beds and a great dining area/living room. The big porch off the living room was a great place to have coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. The property is quiet and serene. And, wow, the experience of being in a house that's actually built OVER the water is very cool. We can't wait to come back.

Peaceful and unique

The boathouse, lake, and experience were amazing. The kitchen was nicely stocked with plenty of dishes/pots/pans/utensils, along with blender/coffee grinder/coffee pot/microwave. There were cleaning products, and plenty of bed linens. There were books to read, games to play for kids, along with a kayak, paddle board, and canoe for enjoying the water. The lake is peaceful, and clean. We saw deer, turtles, turkeys, snakes, and tons of birds. The home is decorated like a personal art gallery. It is absolutely beautiful. We had so much fun walking around like we were at an art exhibition. Not only is it beautiful it's functional and comfortable. We will definitely be coming back.
