Convenient location

Super convenient to Guntersville and Scottsboro. Cute place! Except, only 3 towels for 4 people on a Sunday to Sunday stay. And no bath mats when stepping out of tub. Had to go buy more towels and mats.

This cabin is absolutely beautiful! The Carrs were wonderful to speak with and the booking/check in process were a breeze. The property location was conveniently located between Guntersville and Scottsboro so accessing the areas sites were easy. Will definitely consider booking for another trip.

Over all stay

Overall stay was good. Enjoyed being close to Waterfront store and dock area. The road going up to cabin was a little steep but was manageable. The porch cushions need to be upgraded as they had what seems to be dog hair on them but we used the rockers which was fine. We enjoyed our stay

Great private getaway

My buddies and I stayed the weekend for a golf trip and wanted to find a private cabin where we weren’t right on top of other people, and that’s exactly what we got with this property. A beautiful house with everything you need to cook meals at the house. We used the grill provided to cook steaks. There’s also a fire pit that’s great for relaxing around at night. 4k Smart tv with Roku in the living room for your entertainment needs. The water pressure in the shower is AMAZING. Not at all what you’d expect from a rental like this.

Great cabin and inviting front porch.

This was supposed to be a quiet getaway for me and my girlfriend, unfortunately she was unable to make it. I enjoyed the rustic cabin very much, especially the big front porch. I spent as much time as possible out there. The kitchen was well equipped but didnt have a colander/strainer. The bedroom was nice and cozy. The mattress was a little firmer than I'm used to though. Overall it was a fun and much needed getaway. The hosts were great and responded greatly to my needs. Hope to return when my girlfriend can join me.

Canvasback Cabin Great Stay

We really enjoyed the cabin and the grounds. Lots of birds and front porch rockin'. Just what you need to relax. The road is noisy, but you get used to it and it's not intrusive. The house was clean and fun. The dishwasher doesn't work, but it is a cabin so handwashing the dishes went with the theme. The driveway needs work, it was a bit rough on our Tahoe and we weren't towing anything. Not only steep, but the rainy weather has put some ruts in the drive. All in all, a great home away from home. Got a couple of super craft ideas from the house. Thanks for those! Thanks, Carr Family!

Cabin is as described as in the listing. Just a couple of things, there were light bulbs that needed to be replaced. It was super hot the weekend we were there. The air conditioning did not cool the upstairs where the bedrooms are. We were very thankful for the full size fans on the front porch as we used those upstairs to try to cool enough to sleep. There is not much water pressure in the upstairs shower. Other than that it was a great stay, beds are super comfortable.

An awesome private cabin

A really nice and very private cabin in the woods but very close and convenient to everything. Easy to get a boat in and out if you’re staying here to fish and close to several ramps. The host is very fast to respond. Recommend staying here.

Spring break

I wasn’t gonna say anything, but Vrbo keeps asking me to leave a review. We cut our trip a day short because we just felt odd in the house. My husband and me book a lot of houses through VRBO over the years. This one was a little bit different. We were only given 5 towels to use for a family of 4 for 3 nights. We went to town to buy more towels so that we could continue our trip. The description of the house was a little deceiving because it said that it was on the lake under the details section, but it is near the lake. It also said there was a playground, but there wasn’t one on the property. The house had stains in the carpet bedrooms and some of the light switches. The baseboards in the bathroom were a little dirty. What made us feel a little odd is that there are master locks on two cabinets in the kitchen?? I have never seen this before. Normally, we always had full access to the house in previous rentals. Some of the house is locked up and you can’t access it. You can’t access the screen porch that’s upstairs. You can’t access any closets to hang your clothes. The traffic at night was so loud even with our sound machines because it’s near a highway. The cushions on the front porch were a covered in pollen, so we stayed inside. The picture shows multiple chairs at the fire pit, but there were only 3 upon arrival. I just dont understand all the locked doors. I wish I asked more questions.

Very clean and well appointed property centrally located between Guntersville and Scottsboro. Note that the bedrooms are upstairs and the second bath is downstairs. No extra towels. Close to the highway may be a little noisy for light sleepers.

Short get away

My husband and I are on our way to the mid west for an annual deer hunt. Our son is working in a town near the cabin. We wanted to stop and see him for a couple of days. He stayed with us two of the three days we stayed. It was convenient to restaurants and groceries, as well as, exploring. The cabin is clean and comfortable.. The Carrs were very helpful and made us feel welcome

The cabin on the hill was a nice retreat. The large yard was pleasant. The house was very nice. We enjoyed the fire pit. The location was near many hiking trails and state parks which was great for our family.
