Great location. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. The boathouse is new and the cove isn’t very crowded. The grass gets pretty thick back in the cove, so I’d be a little concerned with accessing the boat house in late summer. I’d recommend those who want boat access to inquire of the host, she was great with communication!
This place has all you need for an enjoyable experience. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds with nice linens. Nice towels and double ply toilet paper!!!!!!! Nice boat dock with boat house. Boat ramp is within spitting distance. Newly paved driveway. Located at the end of a quiet dead end road too. I will use this place again if they will have me!!
This was our second time staying at Fish & Frolic. As before it was super clean, really convenient to the lake for the fishermen in our family, and lots of extra special touches. We appreciated the local recommendations and had an awesome visit to nearby Cathedral Caverns which we'd never heard of before! A fantastic Spring Break for our family!
Fantastic home, the only suggestion would be to widen the driveway entrance for ease of boat parking. Otherwise was very happy with the stay and cleanliness.
This was rented due to a death in the family. I was extremely impressed with how well stopped the kitchen was and loved that there were toys and games available for children. The home was extremely clean and comfortable, and I am sure that if it is available when family comes into town, they will rent it as well.
We really enjoyed our time there.A phone call to the host proved to be a helpful and friendly conversation.Every room was very clean .Every room was fully stocked ,organized , and neat. There wasn’t a thing we needed during our trip we couldnt find there.We would definitely stay there again.
Great stay. Very well stocked. I gave one less star on the online listing because the water was very low, but that is not in the host's power.

Our favorite home on the lake
Fish and Frolic Holiday keeps us coming back! Location is great and the home is spectacular! It is decorated beautifully and stocked with everything you need. We gather with friends for fishing and fun but also spend some time for just the two of us. It's everything we ask for and more! Dawn is a fabulous host and is quick to respond to your every need.

What a peaceful setting!
Not only was the home comfy and loaded with everything we needed for our ladies getaway, but the peaceful setting made this above and beyond what we needed. So glad we found this place!
Everything was in its place, clean, and ready to go. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook and cleanup. This is our second time at this property and will continue to rent it when we go to Scottsboro with a group. Excellent place and excellent people.

We enjoyed this rental so much. The layout was great, nice quite neighborhood, and not too far from places. The provided amenities were also a huge plus.

Meet Your Hosts – The Schellers
Hi, we’re the Schellers! We’ve been happily married since 1993 and are loving every step of this adventure called life. Now retired, we spend much of our time doing what we love most—traveling the world and exploring new places.
Over the years, we’ve stayed in vacation homes across 31 U.S. states, 5 territories, and more than 42 countries—including unforgettable stays in Hawaii, Cape Cod, South Korea, France, Bali, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Costa Rica, England, Egypt, and Germany (to name just a few). Those experiences have shaped how we host today—with attention to detail, comfort, and a personal touch.
We’re proud to now own and self-manage two vacation homes right on the beautiful shores of Lake Guntersville, and we’re thrilled to share them with fellow travelers looking to fish, relax, recharge, and make lifelong memories.
