Lake House + Firepit + Game Room + Chef's Kitchen + Lakefront Cove
Escape to this peaceful lakefront home nestled in a small cove with year-round water and immediate access to the main channel. This custom-built, lakefront home sits on over 1.5 peaceful acres, offering beautiful views, thoughtful design, and space to relax, reconnect, and recharge. Designed for comfort, entertainment, and family-friendly stays, this retreat is ideal for couples, families, and small groups.
As you enter the home, you are immediately greeted by breathtaking elevated views of Lake Wedowee, framed by the calm waters of the surrounding cove. Large windows and open living spaces bring the outdoors in, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home.
The main level features red oak floors, 10-foot ceilings, and Aspen wood doors. The open chef’s kitchen flows into a spacious living area and opens directly onto a stunning 600 sqft composite deck with wire railing—perfect for morning coffee, afternoon BBQs with the 28" Blackstone griddle, outdoor dining, and sunset views over the lake. The dining room table comfortably seats eight, there are three additional seats at the kitchen island, and an outdoor dining table for six, giving everyone plenty of space to gather and enjoy meals together. The kitchen includes a double-wall oven, a four‑burner electric cooktop, and a fully stocked kitchen (e.g., pots, pans, utensils, bakeware, dishware, glassware, coffee maker, toaster, other basic cooking essentials, etc.), so guests can confidently prepare gourmet meals during their stay.
The main-level master suite offers a private sanctuary with a Japanese soaking tub, double sinks, a walk‑in closet, and a spa‑style walk‑in shower. The terrace level includes a separate den and recreation room, two guest bedrooms, and a shared bath, with doors leading to a patio and outdoor entertaining space.
Just steps outside, a 41" firepit overlooks the quiet cove and lake. Adirondack‑style chairs have been thoughtfully arranged to encourage long conversations, laughter, and late‑night relaxation. Soft string lights add a warm glow, creating the perfect ambiance for unwinding after a day on the water. The firepit requires guest‑provided firewood, so the experience lasts as long as the firewood you bring.
Inside, enjoy a dedicated game area with a pool table, ping pong conversion table, dart board, plastic axe toss game, board games, and a karaoke system with microphones. Outside, relax on the deck, gather around the firepit, or explore the spacious yard. With over 1.5 acres of privacy, there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
For guests who love the water, a short walk down a small hill leads to the shoreline, where a private concrete ramp offers easy access for swimming and for launching guest‑owned kayaks and paddleboards (note: the dock seen in photos belongs to our neighbors and is not accessible to guests). The calm design of the cove also makes bank‑side fishing easy, fun, and safe for families, beginners, and kids.
Exceptional Water Quality at Lake Wedowee
One of the most remarkable features of Lake Wedowee is its exceptionally clean, clear water—widely considered among the best in Alabama. Unlike many heavily developed lakes across the state, Wedowee benefits from low industrial impact, thoughtful shoreline management, and consistent conservation efforts.
Guests often notice the difference immediately: clearer visibility, minimal debris, and fresh, inviting water that’s ideal for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and relaxing by the shore. Whether you’re floating in the cove, casting a line, or enjoying sunset views from the deck, you’ll experience a lake environment that feels peaceful, healthy, and well-preserved.

About the host
Hosted by Shawn
Our family values service, community, and time well spent together. We stay busy supporting our kids through youth sports and enjoying an active outdoor lifestyle, whether that’s spending time on the water, exploring new places, or simply soaking in the moment with family.
We love to travel and understand what makes a stay truly memorable: comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful details that help you relax and feel at home. Hosting allows us to share that same experience with others while connecting with guests from all walks of life.
Why they chose this property
Set along the beautiful shores of Lake Wedowee, our neighborhood offers a peaceful blend of calm water, wooded surroundings, and relaxed lake living. Mornings are quiet with soft light reflecting off the water, and evenings bring stunning sunsets that make it easy to slow down and unwind.
What we enjoy most is the sense of space and serenity, yet still being close to great fishing, boating, and time on the water. It’s the kind of place where you can disconnect from the rush, enjoy the outdoors, and create lasting memories with family and friends.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property truly stand out is the unique feel of being on Lake Wedowee, which we believe offers a quieter, more relaxed experience than larger, more developed lakes like Lake Martin, Lake Guntersville, or Smith Lake.
Here, you’ll find a slower pace, less boat traffic, and a more intimate connection with nature. The calm cove setting creates a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee, family time, and unwinding at the end of the day, while still giving you year-round water and easy access to the main channel when you want to explore.
The location also offers great access to nearby attractions, including Cheaha State Park, the scenic trails and natural beauty of Talladega National Forest, and the excitement of Talladega Superspeedway. Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure or a quiet lakeside escape, you’ll find the best of both worlds right here.
