About this property

Guntersville Getaway℠: Lake Guntersville Waterfront, Private Boathouse & Lift

Settle into a private Lake Guntersville cove with the water, boathouse, yard, and sunset views right outside the door. Guntersville Getaway℠ is a single-level, 1,900+ sq. ft. waterfront home with 3 bedrooms, 2 luxury bathrooms, and sleeping space for up to 9 guests. Lake Guntersville is a 67,900-acre Tennessee River reservoir known for bass fishing, boating, wildlife, and fishing tournament travel.

The layout works well for families, fishing crews, couples, and small groups. There are 2 queen bedrooms plus a bunk/twin room with 5 twin beds, an open living and dining area, full kitchen, washer/dryer, complimentary gigabit Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, books and games, and lake views from nearly every room. The home includes an expanded primary suite, updated kitchen and laundry room, granite counters, remodeled bathrooms, and a stone fireplace. Both bathrooms have double vanities and large showers, and the spacious primary bathroom also includes a bathtub.

The lake setup is the reason many guests choose this property. The private boathouse has deep water year-round, a fully enclosed guest boat slip, electric lift, fish cleaning station with fresh water, 7-cubic-foot freezer, outlets for charging, and sturdy steps into the lake. Fish from the bank or pier, keep your boat on site, swim in the cove, or spend the evening on the deck or around the fire pit after a day on Lake Guntersville.

Outside, the one-acre lakefront yard gives guests room to spread out. Enjoy the lake-facing patio, charcoal fire pit/grill, Adirondack chairs, string lights, sunset views, and quiet wildlife watching. Bald eagles, osprey, great blue herons, ducks, turtles, and other lake life are frequent visitors. The cove setting feels private but is still convenient to Guntersville, Gunter's Landing, the Yacht Club area, downtown shops and restaurants, golf, marinas, ramps, Cathedral Caverns, Lake Guntersville State Park, and Huntsville day trips.

This is a pet-friendly, mobility-conscious lake house with a ramped front entry, wide interior doors, one level, minimal thresholds, bathroom grab bars, and sturdy shower seating. It is not advertised as ADA-certified. The back porch has 2 steps, and the dock path has 1 step before the ramped dock. The lakefront, dock, boathouse, fire pit/grill, and shoreline require active adult supervision when children are present.

Best fit: guests who want a lakefront stay with private water access, boating and fishing infrastructure, comfortable indoor space, and a calm cove base on Lake Guntersville. The home is non-smoking, children are welcome, housebroken pets are considered, and the maximum occupancy is 9.

About the host

Hosted by Nicholas or Lyndall Hamlett

Host profile image
Guntersville Getaway is a Hamlett family lake home with roots back to 1958, when Lyndall's parents built the house and her father helped design the open living and dining layout. The family has kept the lake-house character while updating the kitchen, laundry room, bathrooms, and master suite for modern stays. Lyndall lives nearby in Guntersville. Her son Nicholas manages the property and guest communication, so guests have local, family-run support before and during their stay.

Why they chose this property

Buck Island Shores gives guests a quieter Lake Guntersville cove setting while staying close to the main roads, Gunter's Landing, downtown Guntersville, marinas, restaurants, golf, and nearby ramps. The lot is flatter than most lake properties, so the walk between the house, yard, patio, and boathouse is easier for families, anglers, pets, and older guests.

What makes this property unique

Deep water, a private boathouse, a fully enclosed guest slip, an electric lift, and lake views from nearly every main room make the property stand out. The one-acre yard has both shade and sunny lakefront space, the cove feels private, and the home blends original lake-house character with practical upgrades: granite counters, remodeled baths, a master addition, laundry, fireplace, strong WiFi, and family antiques.
