Great place for fishing. But the drive is steep and can be hard to park in the dark. Other than that it was a great place to stay.

Great house. Great lication. Great property manager!

We loved the location! We were right on the water. Nothing more peaceful than watching the sun come up over the water with that first cup of coffee! The house was perfect for our family. Cecile is the best property manager!

Hi Gregory, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the staff polite and helpful throughout your visit. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:- The driveway is a one-way circle and is clearly marked with a black and white arrow along with yellow directional markings to help guide vehicles through. Maneuvering a large truck can be tight, but the layout is designed to support a safe and easy flow when followed as directed.- The homeowner reached out during your stay to ask for more details about the areas that needed attention, but didn’t receive a response. They’re always open to guest feedback and would’ve appreciated the chance to learn more.Thanks again for sharing your thoughts as we continue to improve for future guests.

Lake house getaway!

Every summer we take a family trip with cousins. This year we chose Alabama. I am so glad we stayed here! The property and lake are beautiful. There was enough space for everyone. The neighbors were so nice! Communication was 100% great with the host. We normally don’t stay in the same place twice but my kids are already asking to go back.

Great spot for a lake getaway

This is a spacious home located on a scenic section of the Elk River. Guests may want to be aware that the road in to the property is rural and may not be suitable for all vehicles. Also the driveway is steep, so it's probably not ideal for those with elderly or limited mobility guests. Overall, an excellent place to unwind in a quiet and scenic waterfront environment. Also, it's a little ways out of town, so be sure to bring what you need with you as stores and restaurants are a few miles away. The hosts are great and the property is very well maintained and comfortable.

July 4 25 Family River Escape

Host was very helpful answered my questions, allowed to bring boat along. It was July 4 th weekend, there at the boathouse the water was 4 feet deep, plenty for our swimmers and to park boat at dock. At the boathouse there is an attached deck for those working on tans. If the goal is to spend some needed relaxing and playtime at the river, this rental is recommended. 10 minutes or less to boat ramp off Hwy 72 in Rogersville, 20 minutes to Athens.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Aug 2025
Hi, we’re so glad you enjoyed your time by the river! It sounds like you made the most of the boathouse, the dock, and the deck. We always love hosting guests who can relax, have fun, and take advantage of everything the area has to offer. Thanks for the kind words and recommendation—hope to welcome you back again!

Mother daughter weekend

Everything we needed in one place. Very clean, thank goodness because one of ours is a germifobe. Oh and you don't have to bring your own ice. There is a great icemaker.Didnt get to fish much or kayak like we wanted too because it rained too much, but we were able to visit on the lovely covered deck and play games in a comfortable atmosphere. Very attentive hostest. Left us a welcome gjift . You may want to bring an air mattress just in case. While the beds were okay for some of us they were too hard for others. Overall a great time was had by all. Thank you Cecile.
Even the handicapped can fish here.
