About this property

Charming 2-bedroom lake cottage with kayaks

Hidden within a quiet cove, perched high among the trees, sits the Kingfisher Cottage. A place where solitude and wildlife abound. Relax on the screened porch and watch the trees gently swaying in the wind...Or enjoy swinging on the covered porch as you spy great blue herons and egrets searching for their favorite meal below. Four fishing kayaks, available at no charge, provide ready access to great bass, catfish, and bluegill fishing. Come, discover your own slice of paradise.

This is a very nice house with access to the river. Be mindful that there are many steps down to the river, but everything is well-built. The kayaks were a welcome amenity, and the section of the river and lake was very calm. Also, be mindful of the gravel road; it is steep in places, but we managed it in a Crown Vic.

We loved everything about our stay at Kingfisher Cottage. Dayna and Joe have thought of and anticipated every possible need a guest might have while staying in this space. My only regret is that we did not have as much time to spend at the cottage as I would have liked. I hope I have reason to return to Sylacauga in the future so that we can stay here again!

Get host and property. We only stayed one night for a golf trip but the cabin had everything we needed. The owners were quick to respond to any questions.

GREAT place to stay, couldn't have been better! We absolutely loved how stocked the kitchen and bathroom was. Super clean and as homey as it can get when it's not your home. The steps down to the water were sturdy and well lit. We took nightly trips down to the water to star gaze. Our son, who's 18, saw his first shooting star! It's about 16-18 minutes from Pursell Farms, a lot closer than most hotels, plus we had more space and could cook 'at home'. Last minute we decided to stay an additional night, the host was on it and she added it right away. If we are ever in the area again, all of us agreed, we would stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Dayna

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Joe and Dayna! We love travel, adventure, and finding those special places that turn into lifelong memories. When designing our getaway, we added the thoughtful details we look for when we travel—so you can truly relax and feel at home.

We’re based just south of Atlanta but spend lots of time in Alabama, drawn to its lakes, trails, and natural beauty. Joe enjoys everything outdoors, while Dayna’s passion is creating cozy, welcoming spaces that make guests feel cared for.

We’re excited to share a little piece of Alabama with you and hope it becomes one of your favorite places too!
