The only thing I’d change is to stay longer
We loved our stay here, I just wish we’d had a longer trip. The house is spacious and gorgeous, beds are comfy, the house was clean, kitchen was well-equipped, and pet-friendly. Super easy to find and such a pretty drive getting there from Atlanta. The flowers and yard likewise beautiful, with daisies, pineapple sage, and mums (I think they were mums) in the front, and a picnic table too! The views are breathtaking and hands down our favorite things were the screened in porch and deck. Y’all. It’s insanely beautiful with the sun on the water in the afternoons. We were there during a cool fall weekend so didn’t get in the water but man did we enjoy the porch and deck. Our host, Carter, was absolutely wonderful, super communicative, responsive, and helpful. Super enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in the Huntsville area. Thanks so much, Carter!

Think of rental as a camp
Description of home and amenities TOTALLY inaccurate. Numerous appliances not working, porch area was filled with dead insects, outdoors not well maintained. Advertised use of kayak but came with broken unusable paddle. Owner became quite angry when we complained and asked location of trash bags. Then threatened us with eviction and sending sheriff to property to evict us. Would have been quite amusing as would have encountered 3 women in their 70s! I reported owner and his threats to VRBO who will be reviewing him for this behavior. After told him I reported him his comment was :if

Beautiful and relaxing
We loved this property! We were torn between a beach vacation and visiting family in Athens. So happy I found this house on the water, which allowed for a relaxing lake view and close proximity to family. Even with rain every day, it was lovely.

Amazing View
We had a great stay. The views of the lake are absolutely stunning, including the sunsets!! We were able to take our dogs, which was awesome, just have to make sure and stay with them as there is the boat launch with a steep drop off to It on the property. The rooms were all nice and cozy, everyone had an excellent nights sleep! Carter the Host was great, he answered any questions we had and was available whenever we needed!

Back porch relaxing
You couldn’t ask for a more peaceful place to relax in the screened porch overlooking the water. There is a large table with plenty of seating and several zero gravity chairs for a nap. The porch is shady, so even when the sun was blazing you could enjoy being outside with the gentle breeze coming off the water. This one is definitely a place that we’ll come back to.

First Christmas Away
We have never vacationed during Christmas before. This was a perfect choice. There is LOTS of room in the house. The beds are very comfortable. The owner was very attentive, checked in via text just to make sure all was well and see if there was anything we needed. Fishing, simply from the dock, was fun and rewarding with 5 lb catfish and the largest bluegill I’ve ever seen!

Nice Lake View
House was modern and clean inside. Views of the lake are very nice. It is a long trip to any grocery stores or restaurants so plan accordingly. The outside cooking systems should be updated. A simple new charcoal grill would be fine. Drive can be a bit tricky if you have a long boat and tow vehicle. We found the TV controls not the easiest to figure out but owner was most responsive in helping us.

Pristine property right on the banks of the Tennessee River w/ incredible views of the water. Busy boat traffic during the day but fun to watch the activity. My dog had a blast as well! Communication was flawless and the entire stay could not have been more comfortable. We will definitely return!

Great river view and friendly owner with great communication
My sisters and I gathered from around the country for a long weekend to celebrate our Mom's birthday. This river location was a very relaxing and restful place to visit and reconnect. As the owner mentions in the listing, the steps down to the dock area are a bit steep, but if that's an issue for you, you don't need to go down there to enjoy the great view of the water from the screened-in patio or kitchen area. There aren't a ton of restaurants nearby, but we had a great cheeseburger at the Geezburger and drove into Rogersville (not too far) to visit the Bloom Winery, where they make local wine and had a great wood-fired pizza (pizza is currently on weekends only due to the process involved to run the pizza oven). Also, in Rogersville is a cool old lodge with a restaurant at the Joe Wheeler State Park-- just drive slowly because we saw at least a lot of deer and even a turtle slowly crossing the road.

Heaven in Alabama
This house is perfect in every way, and the view is truly heavenly. From an awesome walk-in shower to super-soft bedding to a kitchen with everything a chef could appreciate, along with delightful decor and heart-warming personal touches, this house is a true VRBO treasure. Thank you for another lovely stay.
