About this property

❤️Donna Lee's Cozy Cottage❤️ -Pet Friendly, Fiber Internet, and near Smith Lake!

🌟 Welcome to our charming 🏡Bremen Cottage! 🏡 Nestled near the serene Smith Lake, this delightful home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience, minus the waterfront price tag. Once the beloved residence of my wife's grandmother, we've lovingly remodeled it, continuously adding touches to honor her memory.

🛏️ The cottage boasts two cozy bedrooms and a full bath, with an additional room featuring a versatile day bed. The living room, equipped with a plush sofa, can also serve as an extra sleeping space. Enjoy 🛜 lightning-fast fiber internet 🛜 with over 300Mbs speeds, ensuring seamless streaming and work connectivity. Entertainment is guaranteed with a 65" Roku TV in the living room and a 45" Roku TV in the extra living area, plus a TV in one bedroom (and another coming soon!).

🍳 Our fully stocked kitchen is a foodie's dream, complete with a large fridge, dishwasher, stove, and all the culinary tools you'll need. It's perfect for hosting, just as we do when not renting out.

🌲 Set on 3 spacious acres, the property offers ample room for outdoor fun and entertainment. Parking is a breeze with a covered spot for one vehicle and additional gravel parking for 5+ cars. Boaters are welcome, with convenient outdoor electrical plugs for your gear.

🐶In our family animals are treated like children. Even when we travel, our dog miles travels with us. Because of our love for animals, we of course want to make this a pet-friendly residence. We hope that each of your pets will treat the home with a level of care and respect.

🌿 While my wife and I reside nearby, your privacy is paramount. Don't worry, we do not live right outside the front window, our house is several hundred yards behind the home tucked back in the woods. We're here if you need us but committed to ensuring your stay is uninterrupted and relaxing.

💟We've crafted this home as a special retreat for our guests, choosing short-term rentals to keep it unique and inviting. As new owners, we're excited to welcome you and hope you'll love it enough to return. Questions? We're just a message away and ready to assist promptly. Enjoy your Bremen getaway! 💟

Adorable and exceptionally clean!
What a beautiful, roomy, clean cottage! Every tiny little thing was already considered and provided for us. The owners were extremely communicative and responsive. The kitchen is well-stocked. The bedroom was comfortable. Check in/out process could not be easier. One of the best stays we have had and I just wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Matt and Abby Lee

Host profile image
My wife Abby and I have deep roots in North Alabama, the area we've always called home. We tied the knot in 2018 and settled down right beside the serene Smith Lake. I attended Birmingham-Southern College and Auburn University, where I finished with a dual-degree in Bachelors of Science and Industrial Engineering respectfully. I alway had a dream of being able to fish professionally. This dream turned into a thrilling career, and I've been fishing professionally for nine years now, exploring various corners of the country.

Abby, initially a dedicated nurse, chose to join me on my travels in 2018, embracing the adventure of life on the road. Her entrepreneurial spirit shone through in 2020 when she founded Lake Home Solutions, a concierge service specializing in the Smith Lake area. Her business primarily focuses on maintaining and managing short-term rentals, ensuring they are in pristine condition.

This experience directly translates into the care we put into our own rental property. We understand the nuances of creating a welcoming and well-maintained space, ensuring that our property will be in impeccable condition for your stay. We're excited to share a piece of our world with you and are committed to making your experience at Smith Lake truly memorable.

Why they chose this property

Our choice to settle in this neighborhood of North Alabama was deeply influenced by our longstanding connection to the area. It's more than just a location for us; it's a part of our story. Our rental property, Donna Lee's Cozy Cottage, holds a special place in our hearts as it was originally the home of Abby's grandmother.

Acquiring and transforming this cherished family home into a rental property has been a labor of love. We've dedicated ourselves to a complete remodel, infusing the cottage with modern comforts while preserving its original charm. Our goal is to honor Abby's grandmother's legacy by creating a space that offers guests a delightful and memorable retreat.

What we enjoy most about this neighborhood is its blend of tranquility and community spirit. It's a place where the beauty of North Alabama is on full display, from the serene landscapes to the friendly faces that make up our community. Every aspect of this area, from its natural beauty to its rich history, contributes to the unique and inviting atmosphere that we and our guests cherish.

What makes this property unique

What truly sets Donna Lee's Cozy Cottage apart is its blend of heartfelt history and modern comfort. This isn't just a rental property; it's a cherished piece of our family's story, originally belonging to Abby's grandmother. We've poured love and care into every corner of the cottage, ensuring that it honors her legacy while providing all the contemporary comforts our guests could desire.

Our property stands out due to its meticulous remodel, which we undertook with the aim of creating a perfect balance between modern amenities and homely charm. Every detail, from the cozy interior design to the thoughtfully chosen amenities, is designed to make our guests feel both pampered and at home.

Nestled in the heart of North Alabama, the cottage offers an unparalleled experience of the area's natural beauty and tranquility. Its location beside Smith Lake provides a serene backdrop, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking a peaceful getaway. The personal connection we have to the area and the property itself translates into an exceptional level of care and attention to detail, ensuring that every stay is special.

Moreover, our experience with Lake Home Solutions gives us a unique insight into what makes a short-term rental truly outstanding. We apply this expertise to Donna Lee's Cozy Cottage, guaranteeing that it's not just a place to stay, but a memorable part of your journey.
