What's new? Almost everything!!! In 2017 we added a 300 square feet master bedroom. The bathrooms were transformed into elegant, luxury bathrooms. New rock and an amazing mantlepiece are the focal point of the living room; that is if you can tear yourself away from the fabulous views of Lake Guntersville from each bedroom and living room. We have a beautiful new flagstone walkways, new landscaping, and larger driveway. We replaced the sliding glass doors in each bedroom that lead to the patio. We painted the living area paneling a light gray color, which brightened the space. We have painted the interior and much of the exterior. It was time to replace the boathouse. Now guests have their own slip with lift, chest freezer and fish cleaning station.

Owner was helpful and responded promptly.
Good size, wooded lot with very gentle slope to water. Bathrooms and kitchen have been nicely updated. Newer master bedroom and master bath with large tile shower and large soaking tub has brand new mini-split HVAC system that works great. Two bedrooms have queen beds. Kitchen is well equipped. Many large windows and sliding glass doors provide water views.
We enjoyed the large patio with outdoor tables and comfortable chairs. We also appreciated the outdoor string lighting from the patio to the boat house!
The boat house guest slip with the lift worked well for our 20 ft ski boat. Covered deck off the guest slip was very nice for lake and sunset views. Water in the area is generally calm and free of weeds. Location is convenient to main lake area including City Harbor from the water and downtown Guntersville by road.

We loved this place! Comfortable house right on the lake. This property has a dock with slip that visitor can use. This enabled me to skip loading/unloading my boat everyday for use. This was especially helpful when it rained! This makes it great for fishing trips...
We definitely recommend staying here.

Six friends, 65+ stayed a four night weekend at this lovely home. Very comfortable for us! A level ranch on a beautiful lot overlooking Lake Guntersville. Plenty of nice restaurants nearby. Lots of shopping available. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen, though. Kicking back and watching the momma Robin feed her babies in the nest outside the window was as peaceful a stay as possible. Great getaway to let friends meet and catch up!

A great relaxing location with lake views from every room exactly as described. We loved hanging by the firepit. Our pets especially enjoyed the large windows to watch the birds. Additionally, Nicholas responded quickly on questions we had.

A quiet retreat with tranquil views of the lake, birds and beautiful sunsets from the dock. We loved the back patio in the evenings. Fishing was OK but had to be patient. Bass, catfish, bluegill, eagle, loons and ospreys were common.

Was there for a week with husband, daughter, her husband and boys. We were very pleased with location, the use of the boathouse, but especially Nicholas! Wonderful host! He was always pleasant and helpful everytime I talked with him! Property was clean and there was plenty of room for all of us. We will definitely be returning!

Nice boat house and lake views. Property owners were responsive. House could have been cleaner. Chairs at fire pit on the lake covered with bird droppings. Lots of bird droppings on walk way to dock.

My daughter describes it as welcoming and cozy.
My son was excited about the huge couch.
My Husband loved the boat house and the quick access to the lake. (We fished every night, and he finally got that big bass!). I loved watching the wonderful birds while I drank my morning coffee.
Overall, was a great place. We made many memories and we left feeling a little closer. The owners were really friendly as well.

We fell in love with this property. It close to 431, easy to find, close to dining and attractions. Very private, beautiful lake view offered much needed relaxation. There is a sweet furball next door, I think the neighbors have invisible fencing and our dogs definitely wanted to play. We also enjoyed the ducks and saw blue herrings every day.
The house was very clean, comfy beds, loved the bunk bed room for the kids.. all bedrooms have a beautiful lake view. Spacious kitchen and outdoor area with a grill. Fire pit and plenty of outdoor seating. Private dock & boat slip. Huge bathrooms!
The property manager was kind and very helpful. We will definitely be renting this adorable cottage by the lake again.

Home is close to many places around Lake Guntersville Lake. Great parking for multiple vehicles. Located in a quiet neighborhood which is well maintained. Property manager was easy to reach and assisted with some minor issues we had upon arrival. Check in was super easy. Beds were very comfortable. Everything was on one floor which made it nice for family member using a walker. No steps to enter into home was great when handling luggage in and out. Overall great stay.

We came down from Knoxville to visit with family for the holidays. The house was just right for our needs. We were able to cook a big meal and host family. Our dogs loved the windows and watching the ducks. The water views are gorgeous. We will plan on retiring when it’s warmer!

5.0 / 5.0
My family and I adored this place. Everything felt so comfortable, very relaxing and quiet. The beds were great, kitchen and bathrooms were wonderful. And the dock was where we spent most of our time. Fishing on and off the dock was always a win. Beware if you come in June the mayflies hatch and it can be quite annoying. We saw tons of gar swimming but were never bothered by them. The neighbors were sweet people and the dogs enjoyed swimming and playing in the yard. The view itself was worth the drive. We took our bass boat and had absolutely no trouble using the lift in the guest slip of the boat garage. Everything you could ever need or want is within a 10 mile drive. I highly recommend eating at crawmamas restaurant and GTO bait and tackle. Loved that we had the cooking grate over the fire pit, I believe we cooked on it every night we were there. Very pleased with our stay will definitely be back!!!

The owner/management was easy to work with. Perfect location with water access and plenty of room. We enjoyed our experience and the generous neighbor even brought over firewood. Next time I will remember to bring hand soap, shampoo and TP, but I will most likely book again. We swam and used the paddle boards and learned to fish ❤️ Central location to downtown and remote hiking.

Everyone enjoyed themselves even the dog. Fishing was pretty good,we caught 8 bass over the two days that we were able to fish. One of them was 4lbs or more. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Shower in master bath wanted to backup. Middle bedroom inside the closet was dirty. Everyone said to say thank you for allowing us to such a good time.

Wife and I stayed for 3 nights for our 6 year wedding anniversary. We both loved it! Very quaint and loved how close it was to the water no steps getting down to the water it's a one-story house which we loved! We've stayed at several lake houses that are two story or three story houses with tons of steps getting down to The boathouse which makes a big difference! Would definitely stay here again and bring 2 other people with us next time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Excellent location and it had great amenities and little touches like spices and laundry detergent. Beds were comfortable. Somewhat dated, but that added to its charm.

Great property to stay at if you want to experience all Guntersville has to offer. The property is located close to numerous boat launches and has electricity and room for multiple boats. Nicholas was also super communicative and even warned us of some impending weather. I’d highly recommend the property and would absolutely stay there again.

This was the perfect lake house for us because of location and our dogs. It was so easy to get to and the view was so beautiful in the back. Coming from Huntsville, we didn’t want to drive another 30 min across the bridge and down 2 lane roads in the dark. I loved all the big windows and sliding glass doors in the back. We were so comfortable inside and the kitchen was very stocked. We loved it and will be back.
