THE SPACE
Three separate themed bedrooms give a nod to the history of the cottage and will accommodate two people in each room. Bedroom 1 is the Fishermen Room because the cottage is on one of the best fishing lakes in the country. It includes a queen size bed, with smart TV, dresser for your clothes, closet for hanging items and phone charger port by each lamp, noise canceling machine and shelf to store your luggage.
Bedroom 2 is the Vintage Room with memorabilia of the family motel (Lake Shore Motel) that was started in the 1940's on this property. It includes a queen size bed, smart TV, cell phone charger port on each lamp and wardrobe.
Bedroom 3 is the Cherokee Room since the first owners of the property were the Cherokee Indians. It includes two twin beds, cell phone charger port on bedside table, a small desk and closet area.
LIVING/DINING ROOM has a wood burning fireplace with a big screen Smart TV and a cedar desk if you need a work space. The farmhouse dining table accommodates eight.

KITCHEN - There is a full kitchen that will have everything you need to make great meals for family and friends. It includes a full sized fridge, microwave, dishwasher and gas stove. It is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, utensils, crock pot, George Foreman grill, toaster, mixer and all the essentials to prepare your meals. There are spices, salt/pepper, zip lock bags, etc. It also has a coffee/tea bar made from an upright piano. You can make a pot of coffee or use the K-cups and there is also an electric tea kettle. Assorted coffee, tea and hot chocolate provided. There is space for three to eat at the island in the kitchen.

OUTDOOR SPACE - There is a patio out front to catch those beautiful Lake Guntersville sunsets. The back deck has a large propane grill and griddle with work counter and mini fridge. The outdoor table seats 6 and there is plenty of comfy seating for relaxing. The fire pit has enough wood to get you started and we even provide the ingredients for s'mores! Several outdoor games are provided. Note the cottage is on 431 Hwy which is between the cottage and the lake. Keep an eye on the little kiddos.

HOUSE RULES - You must be 25 years old to rent the cottage. If you plan on having more that 6 guests it must be pre-approved. There is no smoking or vaping inside the cottage. In an effort to conserve energy please do not leave exterior doors open. Most importantly you are to relax and have fun!

HISTORY - The little cottage with a lot of history has undergone a year long complete remodel and update to ensure a comfortable stay for families and friends. This building was built in the late 1940's as a restaurant for the Lake Shore Motel owned by our grandparents. The building has had many popular restaurants in it and other businesses including a tackle shop.

This is a year round get away. Bring your boat (or rent one) and enjoy beautiful Guntersville Lake, known as Playground of the South. You can fish from the shore, boat or on many of the public piers around. Take leisurely strolls on the walking trails at the edge of the lake or hike the trails behind the cottage around the island. Only 1 mile away offers City Harbor with restaurants, Levi's bar, Home Re-Decor and a cigar bar. Downtown has Moody Brews Coffee Shop, restaurants, shops, Fants and Bakers on Main, The Rock House Eatery and Julia's Mexican Restaurant are two of my favorite restaurants. There are golf courses near by, and free concerts in the park spring and fall. Cathedral Caverns is just a short drive from the cottage. Guntersville Museum is very interesting .
IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL SPACE we offer 2 rentals on the island. The other is Lake Shore Cabin (510678).

About the host

Hosted by Mary Brewer

Host profile image
Mary and Judy (sisters) co-host this Cottage which is on the property where they grew up. They moved away from Guntersville in the 70's each of us ending up in Southern California. Finally they both moved home in 2011. The Cottage originally was a restaurant for the motel their grandparents owned. Mary and Judy spent all of 2023 completely remodeling the building and making the furniture for the cottage. They also own Lake Shore Creations making custom furniture.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is on Lake Shore Island which is perfect for relaxing, fishing and taking hikes. There is wildlife on the island - deer, bald eagles, hawks, racoons, squirrels, and lots of birds. It is across the road from a public boat launch and fishing pier. The County Park is next door with another fishing pier. Only one mile from City Harbor with restaurants and Home Re-Decor and all the shops and restaurants downtown.

What makes this property unique

This little cottage has a lot of history and has been a lot of things before the complete remodel. It's location is so perfect for fishing, boating, shopping and visiting local restaurants. The large back deck is great for grilling or sitting around the fire pit. There are pictures inside showing its history.
