Peaceful retreat right on the river. Enjoyed coffee on the covered patio in the mornings. Great place to watch flying herons, a hawk that paid an extended visit, and the occasional turtle and friendly kayaker that floated by.

A great place in a great location. I couldn't believe it wasn't taken for the Labor Day weekend when we booked it late. It's off the beaten path but in easy driving distance of anything you need.

Great place to stay. Perfect fit for our needs. Close enough to Huntsville and restaurant to easily travel. Far enough from town to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Visted the US Space and Rocket and Rocket Center this trip, very enjoyable.

We absolutely loved the property. We spent the mornings and early evening fishing on the river and we caught our first ever bass. Cathedral Caverns state park is breathtaking and we loved the Rocket Center the Lowe Mill Arts center. One of the best aspects about the property was the hot tub. After a day of fishing and walking the hot tub was the perfect relaxation activity. Kelli is an amazing host and we were well taken care of.

We had a wonderful stay at this Vrbo. The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. One of the best features was the beautiful patio overlooking the river. Sitting outside and listening to the water flow by was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. It was the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind in the evening. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, scenic getaway.

Perfect location for a family spring break getaway. We enjoyed the quiet, peaceful river location while being within a 15 minute drive or so of restaurants and attractions. The hot tub was nice, the kitchen was well appointed, HVAC and hot water were great, beds comfortable. Only things missing for us were a firepit outside and a door to the ensuite bathroom - it is open to the bedroom so best for just one person in that room.

Hot tub was nice and river was relaxing to have on property. It was a little distance from Huntsville but manageable. Looks of good trails in the area. Dryer was a little loud.
