Great rental property for a group

We had three couples (seniors) here for a week. The house is large and really secluded. Sitting on any of the three levels of deck you hear only birds (and owls!) and see only trees - no neighbors. We saw deer on the property every day. The dock is in a cove set back from the main channel, and is very calm. Unfortunately, the lake water level was down about four feet, so we didn’t do any swimming at the dock, but we did find a nice state park with a small beach. We were able to rent a pontoon at the local marina and really enjoyed the lake. The house was very clean and the kitchen is great. Very well outfitted with every pan and gadget you’d need. Loved the huge induction cooktop. The mattresses are really comfortable, and with en-suite king bedrooms on each floor we had a lot of privacy. The pool table was a fun feature! The back decks face East, so sunrises over the lake were beautiful. But be mindful that the top level master has no window treatments, so if you’re not a morning person you should bring a sleep mask! The owner is very responsive to any questions, and was able to accommodate our request for early access. I would definitely recommend this place.

Perfect relaxing vacation

This was probably our most favorite vacation ever. We went for the sole purpose of using our pontoon boat and enjoying the lake for a week. This is exactly what we did! The location of the house was great. The lot and property were gorgeous with deer, squirrels, lizards, and just so quiet and peaceful. We set up chairs on the dock and a hammock in the trees and truly relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. This house was definitely the most equipped of any rental we’ve ever stayed in. It has absolutely everything you need in the kitchen and throughout the house. It was also very spacious with plenty of room for everyone. We had 4 teenagers with us and they enjoyed the bunk beds and also the game room downstairs. We hope to be back next summer for sure!!

Family Vacation

Perfect for a family vacation. Large dock in quiet cove for safe swimming. There was a minor issue and the owners were very responsive. Downstairs gameroom is great for family games.

About the host

Hosted by Anthony Wood

Anthony and Erynn started Southern Gem Properties with a vacation beach rental condo on Dauphin Island. We have gradually expanded and changed our properties to include large family gathering homes in the mountains and on the lake.

Why they chose this property

Privacy, and the stunning view you get when you walk in the front door (nearly 180 degree view of the lake). The home was extremely well maintained, had a fantastic layout, and we knew we could add comfortable stylish furnishings and amenities that guests would enjoy.
