Great place to stay
This trip was for group of guys getting away and doing some fishing and you couldn’t ask for a nicer place to do that. The house was very neat and accommodating to the 5 of us. It was furnished with everything we needed to cook and clean up. It is located close to any store you needed to go to. Walmart was 12 miles away and dollar general had a store about a mile away. I would recommend this to anybody wanting to stay on Guntersville lake!
