About this property

"The Cabin" at North Alabama Sailing Marina - Sail, Fish, Ski or Just Relax!

Sail, fish, ski or do nothing but relax on "The Cabin's" spacious front porch overlooking Lake Guntersville. The Cabin is located at North Alabama Sailing Marina with a fresh renovation throughout the two bedroom one bath 1200 square foot home. Large picture windows offer a million dollar view of the lake.

Bring your own boat, sail or motor, and launch from our private ramp and have parking for the vehicle and trailer adjacent to the Cabin. Slip space is provide throughout your stay. Walk out in the morning with a cup of coffee and get on your boat ready for the day. A charcoal grill and lakeside fire pit are provided for evening entertaining. Bring the wife along to enjoy the downtown antique shopping, casual breakfast / lunch or enjoy a day reading on the porch overlooking Lake Guntersville.

The house has all the amenities of home. It comes with a large front loading washer and dryer, and the kitchen has a full size electric stove, microwave and refrigerator. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, cookware, utensils, and all the essentials to prepare a meal. The dining room has seating for six.

Gather in the large living room and sink in the comfy leather sofa and enjoy the view of beautiful Lake Guntersville, watch movies on the large flat screen TV or venture out on the porch and while away the evening on the porch swing.

There are two spacious bedrooms. One has a new king size bed and the other has a new full size bed and one new twin over full bunk bed. Comfortably accommodating six guests.

Linens for the bath and bedrooms are provided.

Groceries, restaurants, gas and bait are available within a mile. "Fire by the Lake" restaurant and bar is within walking distance and "Char Burger", a local favorite, is within a quarter of a mile.

Once you get here you won't want to leave!

This is the most charming cabin! Everything was clean and in working order. It is very conveniently located to anything you want to do in Guntersville or surrounding towns. From the porch or the dock you have a beautiful view of the sun rise every morning. We saw herons, ducks, coots, sea gulls and many orher birds. We will definitely be coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Susan and T Wilson

Host profile image
A group of sailors purchased the North Alabama Sailing Marina to ensure this beautiful sailing water would be available for many years to sailors throughout the region. My husband and I are part of the owners group. We came to the local area 15 years ago from Honolulu with three children who love the water and needed to be near the water. We sailed in Hawaii and I earned my US Sailing instructor's certificate while there. I am a registered US Coast Guard Captain and avid sailor who likes to race sailboats. Since sailing at Lake Guntersville we have become fast friends with several other sailors who love the area and wanted to ensure the marina was going to be available for the community to use and enjoy...so we bought it in January of 2016.

The Sailors Group (TSG) has eight active family partners and we own 25 sailboats! We all love to sail and enjoy the water. With a labor of love we renovated the 2 bedroom "Cabin" so that others could visit Guntersville and enjoy the same great lake we play on.

Some of the partners are around the marina most of the time and can give you information of where to eat, pick up groceries or when you might be able to hear live music in downtown Guntersville.

Why they chose this property

There is nothing like a fresh cup of coffee in the morning looking out over the lake. The best lake access is right out your door...a launch ramp and ample parking are provided and at the end of the day you can walk next door to "Fire by the Lake" and enjoy a meal, something to drink and often live music out on their dock.

What makes this property unique

A launch ramp on site, trailer parking, and a boat slip are included in your stay.
