Great spot for a fishing trip

The cabin was perfect for a pair of bass fishermen. Close to downtown Guntersville, easy access to boat ramps, and space for your boat with power hookup. There’s room to hangout inside, on the covered porch, or around the fire pit. Mary was awesome.

Got It All

This place is well suited for families, very close to everything, is super cute decoratively, with a fishing theme, is visually appealing and had an easy check-in. It is close to 431, with traffic and traffic noise to contend with. Very quiet in the house though. It wasn’t a problem for us.

Life Long Friends Trip

I can't say enough. Mary was responsive and is one of the best hosts I have stayed with. I have stayed at several different VRBOs over the past two years and this one by far is handled with an 'at home' feeling. Bottled waters/ soda, Amish bread all there to welcome us in after a day of travel. Felt like we were staying with friends/family. The book that gives you not only the rules but the history of the place/land and places you will not want to miss was such a wonderful touch. We all agree that the place listed as didn't want to miss was definitely the place we didn't want to miss. Rock House Eatery.We all felt .Our trip was for us 3 girls to spend quality time remembering old times,making new memories and to enjoy some homemade apple pie(by my friend's husband)that we went far too long without! The games available is a wonderful touch. Wood for the fire pit including smore's ingredients. I wish more VRBOs were like Mary's! We all wanted to be a part of the history there so I even sent Mary a picture of us in front of the property. Maybe a wall of stayers or a memory book of guests will be a new thing to start. Thank you Mary for being who you are and making our stay one of the best yet! We will be back! -Katie

Mary was an awesome host ! Cabin was clean, bed was comfortable, bathroom / shower was nice. One thing I didn’t realize from the listing, was that the rental is the only the downstairs / basement part of the cabin, the owner / host lives upstairs, along with several other residents who live close by as well, so not as private as I was anticipating. The lake is in front of the property, and 300 yrds across the 4 lane highway, once again not what I had anticipated. Location was good, close to a lot of nice restaurants and shopping. Beautiful area ! And, once again, Ms Mary was always available and willing to do what ever we needed to make our stay great.

Guntersville Getaway

For a quiet relaxing getaway for two or a fun family vacation, this is a great choice and Mary is the hostess with the mostest!! Tucked away at the top of the hill off the highway, it is surrounded with natures beauty. Mary prepared the fire pit with firewood and even the fixings for s’mores! We were warmly welcomed with homemade Amish bread and some snacks and drinks. Lots of indoor and outdoor games to play, books to read, and a boat ramp just across the street. It’s a nice spot to stay if you’re heading to Guntersville and Mary is an excellent host!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Brewer

Host profile image
I'm living my dream of the past 20 years. I moved to Alabama and designed and built my Adirondack home with a view of beautiful Guntersville Lake. I completed the house in the winter of 2013.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in Guntersville but moved away. Coming back every year and enjoying the lake by fishing, skiing and boating just made me realize this is were I wanted to live.

What makes this property unique

The house was designed to have guests stay in it. You'll have your own private entrance and lots of areas to relax. You can hike on the island and will probably see deer, or even a bald eagle that has a nest here. I will do my best to make your stay fun and relaxing.
