What an amazing location tucked away in the woods near Lake Guntersville. We were very pleased with home. Lots of amenities. Beds were nice and comfy. The home was very clean. The owners were awesome and easy to work with! Will be back again :)

Spring break
I wasn’t gonna say anything, but Vrbo keeps asking me to leave a review. We cut our trip a day short because we just felt odd in the house. My husband and me book a lot of houses through VRBO over the years. This one was a little bit different. We were only given 5 towels to use for a family of 4 for 3 nights. We went to town to buy more towels so that we could continue our trip. The description of the house was a little deceiving because it said that it was on the lake under the details section, but it is near the lake. It also said there was a playground, but there wasn’t one on the property. The house had stains in the carpet bedrooms and some of the light switches. The baseboards in the bathroom were a little dirty. What made us feel a little odd is that there are master locks on two cabinets in the kitchen?? I have never seen this before. Normally, we always had full access to the house in previous rentals. Some of the house is locked up and you can’t access it. You can’t access the screen porch that’s upstairs. You can’t access any closets to hang your clothes. The traffic at night was so loud even with our sound machines because it’s near a highway. The cushions on the front porch were a covered in pollen, so we stayed inside. The picture shows multiple chairs at the fire pit, but there were only 3 upon arrival. I just dont understand all the locked doors. I wish I asked more questions.
Great place in country with nature relaxing on porch of peace&quiet just hearing the birds and watching Sunrise' Sunset and sitting around the fire pit great place to enjoy the outdoors great fishing at Guntersville lake truly a Great outdoors Adventure for Outdoors person for Family&Friend Great place to stay at . Thank you for having a place for family&friend to enjoy outdoors wc outdoors
Very clean and well appointed property centrally located between Guntersville and Scottsboro. Note that the bedrooms are upstairs and the second bath is downstairs. No extra towels. Close to the highway may be a little noisy for light sleepers.
My husband and I are on our way to the mid west for an annual deer hunt. Our son is working in a town near the cabin. We wanted to stop and see him for a couple of days. He stayed with us two of the three days we stayed. It was convenient to restaurants and groceries, as well as, exploring. The cabin is clean and comfortable.. The Carrs were very helpful and made us feel welcome
The cabin on the hill was a nice retreat. The large yard was pleasant. The house was very nice. We enjoyed the fire pit. The location was near many hiking trails and state parks which was great for our family.
We came to the area for the music festival that was rained out by a hurricane. The house was just perfect. The area was beautiful and we saw lots of Alabama we have never seen before. The house is cozy and away enough from the lake but close enough to still enjoy.
This is our second time staying in this house!
It is absolutely perfect for us, boat ramp just a mile away with gas station right by ramp. Restaurants are about 16 miles away either directions Guntersville or Scottsboro. Would love to rent it in the spring for a whole month!
Cabin is as described as in the listing.
Just a couple of things, there were light bulbs that needed to be replaced. It was super hot the weekend we were there. The air conditioning did not cool the upstairs where the bedrooms are. We were very thankful for the full size fans on the front porch as we used those upstairs to try to cool enough to sleep. There is not much water pressure in the upstairs shower. Other than that it was a great stay, beds are super comfortable.
We had a great time staying at this property. My favorite part was the fully enclosed porch area, our toddler was able to play safely while we relaxed on the comfortable porch furniture nearby. The grill on site was convenient and perfectly overlooked the fire pit where we spent one night roasting s’more and grilling. Everything was nice, clean and peaceful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
This was such a clean and nice place for a few days fishing
No complaints. Great owners who have a very rustic place to rent. We really only used it for a place to park boat and shower and sleep but it’s secluded and we loved it! We will be back! Thanks Casey and Pat!
The cabin was in a very nice location just off the lake with a nice yard, cabin itself was very fairly nice inside. Honestly our only complaint with the stay was there was dog hair everywhere.
This was supposed to be a quiet getaway for me and my girlfriend, unfortunately she was unable to make it. I enjoyed the rustic cabin very much, especially the big front porch. I spent as much time as possible out there. The kitchen was well equipped but didnt have a colander/strainer. The bedroom was nice and cozy. The mattress was a little firmer than I'm used to though. Overall it was a fun and much needed getaway. The hosts were great and responded greatly to my needs.
Hope to return when my girlfriend can join me.
We really enjoyed the cabin and the grounds. Lots of birds and front porch rockin'. Just what you need to relax.
The road is noisy, but you get used to it and it's not intrusive.
The house was clean and fun. The dishwasher doesn't work, but it is a cabin so handwashing the dishes went with the theme.
The driveway needs work, it was a bit rough on our Tahoe and we weren't towing anything. Not only steep, but the rainy weather has put some ruts in the drive.
All in all, a great home away from home.
Got a couple of super craft ideas from the house. Thanks for those!
Thanks, Carr Family!
Overall stay was good. Enjoyed being close to Waterfront store and dock area.
The road going up to cabin was a little steep but was manageable. The porch cushions need to be upgraded as they had what seems to be dog hair on them but we used the rockers which was fine.
We enjoyed our stay
