Second Stay

This was our second time staying at Emma’s View and the second time was just as great of an experience as the first. From the home, to the views and the communication with property management team, always top notch. Absolutely the best place to stay for a Lay Lake vacation. This has quickly become one of our annual “must do” stays.

This lake house is so very lovely - fantastic attention to detail and a fantastic view. We've been lucky enough to stay at a lot of great lake homes in Alabama but I think this one just might be the prettiest yet!

Fantastic view!!

The property was very clean and if you want to be on the water, you couldn’t pick a better spot!! The water views and landscape across the lake are spectacular. We lived on the deck with its comfy furniture! Could not have picked a better spot to relax and we’ll definitely be back.
