Beautiful cozy decor, spacious porch overlooking the Fish River, comfortable beds—Rest and Reel was perfect for our family get-together. We hope to return!
Our host was amazing - both welcoming and responsive. This property was the perfect setting for a relaxing weekend to enjoy Mardi Gras in Fairhope and family that lives nearby. The home is beautifully maintained and the setting on Fish River was both relaxing for adults and entertaining for our children. Would highly recommend without reservation.

Thanks so much for your kind review! Makes me happy to host a family gathering with great memories being made! I hope you can stay with us again soon!
The River house was perfect for our girls trip to the Fairhope area. It was large enough for each of the 5 of us to feel comfortable in the spacious bedrooms, The outside porch and deck added an extra area to relax, play cards and even fish.
Honestly worth booking just for the porch. We had a wonderful time. It was perfect for a vacation to visit with family. Everything was very clean and comfortable.

Mrs
Great property on the river. The house was very comfortable and provided everything we needed.
Our group of ladies had a great time. We spent most of our time on the porch which was beautiful. We are all over 60, and were prepared for the stairs by the pictures and descriptions. We are considering another trip to Fairhope because we enjoyed it so much.
This house was perfect for our family. Clean, and exactly as described. We loved the location and wish we had more time there. Will definitely go back!
This house was absolutely as advertised. It was very quiet and relaxing and a great place to spend time with family. The bedrooms were large enough to be comfortable and the deck overlooking the water was great.

Thanks so much Cheryl! I’m so happy to hear that it was quiet and relaxing… we all need to experience that every once in a while ! I hope you stay with us again!
The house was clean and beautiful. The riverside location was so relaxing. We were able to easily get to downtown Fairhope for shopping and dining, but also felt secluded. The entire experience was great!

The whole process was very easy and Tina was great. We rented kayaks and spent plenty of time on the river. The area is also very nice.
