Fisherman and wife

The house was just like the photos online. So clean and cozy, right on the water. Not much parking space, but we made it work. We will definitely be staying there in the future. Great place for fisherman and wife. 😁

Great experience. I was in the area for a conference and my husband brought the boat so he could fish. Our daughter was also able to come for a day/night. The house is just like the photos, clean and comfortable with a beautiful view. Area was peaceful and quite. Angie was a great host.

The Best place to stay on Lay Lake

This is the 2nd time staying at this place. We come to relax and fish. There is a boat launch on the property. The home has everything on one level. There is no stairs to climb. The home is very clean and well appointed. My 82 year young mom came with us this trip and she fell in love with home like we are ready done. Beautiful views off of wraparound porch. The sun rises in front giving gorgeous sunrises. You have long views up and down Lay Lake from the porch and have furniture on the porch to sit in. The owner is quick to get back to you with any questions you might have.

Very Nice and Clean

The property is very nice, has a great dock on a beautiful lake. This place was the perfect spot for a Talladega stay, a little bit of a drive, but not terribly far from the track , but far enough to be peaceful. The owner takes pride in the property and it shows. I will definitely rent this place again.

Second Stay

This was our second time staying at Emma’s View and the second time was just as great of an experience as the first. From the home, to the views and the communication with property management team, always top notch. Absolutely the best place to stay for a Lay Lake vacation. This has quickly become one of our annual “must do” stays.
