About this property

This cozy lake house was built by one of the original German Scientists who came to work in the space program with Werner Von Braun in the 1950's. A group of them built houses in this quiet cove of Lake Guntersville because it reminded them of their mountainous native land. They were known to spend hours working in their beautifully landscaped yards and then gather in the late afternoon to swim or float on rafts and visit with friends and neighbors in the quiet lake setting.

The house is perfect for accommodating a family who enjoys being together and entertaining friends of all ages. It is great for a family gathering because it has many open spaces for gathering inside and outdoors and plenty of comfortable beds. Great private boathouse (built in 2003) and party dock great for swimming, fishing or even star gazing. Features a nice flat yard for kids to play, ideal for backyard football.

The boathouse has two boat slips available plus one jet ski slip. The porch is covered and has an expansive view of the yard and lake. It is well protected even during rainy weather and in fact is very comfortable to sit and watch a storm blow by. The water is eight feet deep at the dock with a gradual slope to the shore making it perfect for swimming.

There is a large comfortable room for gathering around the fireplace in colder months, and a separate room for piling up and watching TV or movies. There is also a downstairs playroom/bunkroom for the kids with a separate TV. This abundance of living spaces make this a comfortable stay no matter your style of relaxation.

Lake Guntersville is world famous for its bass fishing. We have pulled in 5 pound bass right off the dock. Honeycomb is about eight miles west of the town Guntersville, and 20 minutes from Huntsville city limits. A public access boat launch is conveniently
located one mile from the house.

Early check-in/late check-out may be available if reservation schedule allows. Charge for early check-in or late check-out is $75 each.

Bed configuration: Bedroom #one, King-size bed. Bedroom #two, Queen-size bed. Bedroom/sleeping porch #three, two single beds with one single in the living room. Bunkroom/playroom #4, four single beds.

Fishing trip

Older house with some questionable wiring and inadequate outside lightning. Driveway is tricky to back a boat in and definitely not enough room for 4 bass boats! It would be fine for a small group.

Great old house

Fun place to stay- The porch (with dartboard) seems nice but it was too cold out to use it. We found plenty of room for our family (although keeping the downstairs bedroom warm was a challenge). We had fun in the kitchen and the great rooms, and trying to guess what part of the the house was built when. The lake views are beautiful, and the neighborhood is nice for walking, with good hiking nearby. All in all, we had a good time!

Great Trip

Overall the property was a nice place. It was clean, beds were nice, everything was provided. The only thing is that the place needs a new can opener.
