Perfect spot for a vacation with friends

Came up with a large group of friends for a weekend and this spot was perfect. Plenty of beds and lots of room to hangout. The owner is also super nice and helpful!

Overall it was great ,but no access to the lake or beach foe swimming.

One family was unable to come to the trip for personal reasons so the cost was shared among the 2 families as a result we found it a bit expensive. Otherwise, it was great. Jhon ,the host was great.

Family Stay Summer 2022

We rented this house for a weekend as we were attending a family wedding in Huntsville. The house was very cleaned and communicating with the owner was top notch. The only room for improvement that we noticed was some basic items that were missing. I brought this to the owner’s attention and he responded quickly and thanked me for letting him know. He said he would ensure these items are present for future stays. You’re welcome! 😊 Overall it was a very good experience.

Great Cottage

Overall a great place to stay. Owner was fast to reply, and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. The indoor hot tub and sauna made our trip even better! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay with friends or family :)
