My family and I loved this peaceful retreat. Everything was perfect with zero complaints! We’re looking forward to going back soon.

Perfect place for our 5 guy hunting party. The place was exactly what we needed . Clean, close to our hunting area. Even kept the duck boat in water for a little duck scouting.

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. The house felt warm and welcoming and felt very cozy and inviting. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed and had plenty of room for us to gather and socialize.

Manager was so nice to work with. Great place for kids. Even came with a wonderful Corgy pup to welcome us.

Nice and relaxing stay. The house was cozy and the location was peaceful. Enjoyed time away from the city life !

Back porch I had to clean off leafs. Need to dust inside.

I have to say, this is the best vacation rental I have ever stayed in and I’ve stayed in several. I say that because they haven’t missed anything and it’s so clean! I loved walking in and seeing the Fall decorations in all of the rooms. It’s in a quiet location. And oh that view of the lake. We enjoyed breakfast on the deck and coffee on the dock. So peaceful! Don’t hesitate to stay here!

We spent a lovely weekend in this sweet little cabin on the Tennessee River in quiet Cherokee, Alabama. It's located on a quiet dead-end lane in a very rural area, so if you are looking for peace and quiet this is your spot! We loved it! The only issue we had was the deck on the back of the cabin. It really felt like it need to be replaced, so we weren't terrible comfortable spending time out there. The mosquitos also presented a problem for a few of us, but it's August in Alabama so that was predictable. The views of the river are beautiful and since we weren't planning to swim or boat, the grasses that grow in the water weren't a problem. They seemed to provide a habitat for the water birds, which we enjoyed watching every morning with our coffee!

The place was nice. No complaints.

We had a great time here. Even though the water was not ideal for swimming or fishing we still had a great time just relaxing and taking in the views. This place is everything we could’ve hoped for and anything you may have forgotten to pack was already waiting for you. We have definitely decided we would like to return someday!

We had a wonderful time at the lake with a 2 year old, 10 year old and 3 adults + one golden doodle! The setting was delightful with lots of wildlife to watch! I will mention for other families that the water is not very swimmable due to vegetation in the water. I don’t know if it’s always that way but we were still able to kayak and splash on the shore. The home was cozy and welcoming!

The photos do no justice to the decor & work put into this place. Everything about this house is inviting the minute you pull in the driveway. The decor & the view setup a calm as soon as you step foot in the door. The detail that was put into the rebuild is beyond any thoughts I would have imagined. Melissa was wonderful & even though I probably drove her crazy was very pleasant & easy to contact. This is a little piece of heaven that we already look forward to visiting again soon.

This was a Father's Day trip for my husband . We absolutely fell in love ! The property was beautiful,private, and unique Loved the layout ! The kids loved it as well. They have a couple of kayaks that were so fun, the grill and patio were awesome. The hosts made the whole process effortless .They were very attentive, prompt, and available .Definetely recommend!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Driftwood Retreat. We loved the quite neighborhood and made all kinds of new friends, including the three neighborhood dogs, 2 cats and a few chipmunks! Would most definitely recommend and hope we can find our way back for another stay soon.

Very clean and very relaxing

Beautiful location, beautiful home. Very well decorated and appointed. Only complaint I have is that I didn’t book it for longer ♥️

Great host and great fishing. My family has a blast. The house was clean and it had all the amenities you would need plus extra. The best fishing I have had in a long time Thanks Mrs Black.

Our trip to Driftwood Retreat was the second in as many years for Spring Break. It is a quaint and relaxing spot on the Tennessee River which gives my family a nice reset before getting back to the grind to finish the school year. Love the house, the fishing, and the ability to relax.

Second time staying and just as good as the first time! Highly recommend

We spent 10 days at the holidays at this wonderful property!! The hosts have done a beautiful job thinking of everything for their guests. The view and the sunset is priceless. We will definitely stay here again!!

First impression coming in with the lit Christmas tree was very homey and welcoming. I felt immediately comfortable. It was December and quite cool outside but it was still very enjoyable to be on the deck for morning coffee while wearing coats and scarf. Fantastic view of the river, white pelicans, ducks and barges going by, many birds in the trees. We are outdoorsy people and we liked this place.

We came down from Minnesota for a fishing tournament, and the owners were very open and accommodating for us. The cabin was very nice and we felt very comfortable having our boat parked outside overnight. It was a great stay!

I almost don’t want to write what I really want to say, because I want to keep this perfect property a secret! However, I will tell it like it is…this place is perfect! The owners were very responsive to every question we had. The house is a lovely combination of old and new…a loving restoration that honors the original home, while all the up-to-date amenities. We spent most of the weekend just sitting on the covered deck watching the world float by. We can’t wait to return to Driftwood Retreat!

Roomy, clean and comfortable accommodations. Loved the back deck looking over the water!

My wife and I had a great weekend getaway at Driftwood! House is stocked with everything you need and the views from the kitchen were incredible. Will definitely be back! Thank you

Everything was delightful, from the beautifully redone cabin, to the thoughtful attention to detail, not to mention the breathtaking view.

We went on a girls weekend away and The Driftwood Retreat was awesome!! We could not have asked for a better place to relax and chill. Everything is beautifully decorated and just gives you a cozy feel. The owner responded quickly to any questions or concerns that I had. We would definitely stay again!

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Driftwood Cottage. From the moment you pull into the drive and walk into the home you immediately know that you have made the right choice and it’s going to be a sad day when you have to leave. Melissa and Jay, the owners, have really poured some love into this place and it shows! There is nothing better than staying in a place that someone really cares about. The views are amazing so do yourself a favor and get up early to watch the sunrises, it will make your entire day, I know it did mine :) My husband is a big fisherman and the boat ramp was only about 10 minutes from the house and he didn’t have to go far before he caught some great fish (catfish and bass). My daughter (2 years old) and I enjoyed going to the surrounding areas and exploring nature trails and the many parks that are great for small children/older kids. We also enjoyed hanging out with Doby, the neighbors dog when he would come for a visit. The home has everything you will need and more for a relaxing and comfortable stay so look no further you have found THE ONE! Thank y’all for creating such an amazing place, we can’t wait to come back!

We stayed for 4 days to celebrate my Bday. Absolutely love the place/location. Very quite peaceful and beautiful place. It has everything you need to have wonderful time! Melissa was super helpful and sweet owner. We was so excited, so we came early and She let us check in earlier without any questions or concerns! We really appreciate her understanding and cooperation! She even put nice Happy birthday wishes on a wall what was especially sweet of her! We definitely will be back!! Thank you Melissa for everything!!!🙏🤩

We had a fun family weekend here. Very attentive host and lovely property. Will definitely return!

Great experience. Beautiful views. Would do it again.

Booking this property was a breeze. Perfect location and perfect Host
