About this house rental

Take advantage of this spacious 8 bedroom / 3 level lake house which has a beautiful view of Lake Wedowee. We are pet friendly! Enjoy your privacy in this spacious home. The home has 8 comfortable bedrooms, 15 beds and 4 baths. Easily sleeps 28 but can sleep more if you have small children. There are plenty of sofas to lounge on and sleep in as well. We offer a 5% discount on a full week's stay and a 10% discount for the whole month!

Enjoy family time in an open kitchen with a large pantry stocked with the necessities such as coffee, coffee makers (two 12 cup drip), and Keurig pods, cookware, large serving pans, silverware, wine/regular glasses, blender, basic seasonings, paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, etc. This should be enough to get your stay started off comfortably, and possibly for the entire trip. The home has two washers and three dryers which is great for large families. High speed internet, three large TVs, ESPN and other streaming outlets.

We want to be considerate of all of our guests so we do ask if you bring pets that they don't sleep on the beds please.

The home has beautiful tile and hardwood. The balcony, upper-level porch (unscreened) and carefully designed places within the home are a delight to sit back in a comfy chair, sip your drink of choice and enjoy the lake. The upper balcony has two picnic tables as well as chairs with gas grill (gas provided). There is a foosball table upstairs as well for the kids. The lower-level porch (unscreened) has a hammock swing with chairs and tables to sit back and listen to the birds chirp. Cornhole bean bag toss boards and horseshoes are also available.

If you like smoking meat, a giant smoker is on the property. Feel free to bring your favorite flavor of smoking wood and have fun! It’s perfect for vacations or football weekends to watch your favorite teams by the water.

One canoe and one “John Boat” (similar to a canoe) are included for you to paddle around on the beautiful water. Dock is attached for you to swim around and sunbathe. We also include a giant floating mat you can attach to the dock, as well as inner tubes to float on. Beach towels are included for your stay.

Pontoon boats for cruising or tubing, as well as bass fishing boats are available for rent. Tubes are also available for rent. The boat rental owners are super nice and helpful. The boat can be picked up at the marina or they'll deliver to the house for a small fee.

You are welcome to bring your own boat or pontoon and tie up to our dock. You’ll have access to the private community boat ramp.

We are retired restaurant owners so the house has pictures of some of our menu items which we took out of our old business. They brighten up the home and will probably make you hungry! 😊

We leave our Christmas tree up all year long because hey, every day is like Christmas morning at the lake (also great for weekends around the holidays!).

The main floor of the house has a large open room with high ceilings. The kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances is fully equipped for your stay. Everything you need to whip up a great meal is there. Large gas grill is just outside on the porch.

A breakfast room that’s perfect for breakfast or playing cards and boardgame while you look out over the lake. Across from the kitchen is a full bathroom.

The dining room seats 10+. A sofa and flatscreen TV are also in this large area.

Around the corner you will find the spacious master bedroom with a king bed and private bathroom with a shower and bathtub. Large flat screen TV in the master as well.
The guest bedroom on the main floor is a full-sized bed and very cozy.

A large laundry room with two washers and three dryers is downstairs.

The downstairs den has a large flatscreen and big, comfy couches. You’ll also find a second kitchen with a refrigerator, dishwasher and sink here as well.

Around the corner are two guest bedrooms and a full bath… one guestroom has two full-sized beds and the other has two queen beds.

Go upstairs to the third level and you’ll find four more bedrooms and a full bath. The first room has a full-sized bed. The second has two queen beds, the third is a giant room with three king-sized mattresses and one full-sized mattress, a large flatscreen TV and a sink. You can access the fourth bedroom through the giant room. The fourth smaller bedroom has two twin beds inside.

An extra twin mattress is available if needed.

Our cove is residential and has several year-round residents. We ask our guests to respect the peace and quiet our residents enjoy. Loud outdoor parties are not appropriate.

The nearest marina is about 30 minutes away on the water… just past the 48 bridge. They have gas pumps open seven days during the summer months. 6 days in the fall and winter.

Restaurants in town as well, however admittedly scarce. Nearby from two grocery stores in the town of Wedowee (~15 minutes), Roanoke (~30 minutes) and Anniston (~60 minutes).

About Lake Wedowee—

Lake Wedowee, technically “RL Harris Reservoir” was created in the 80’s by Alabama Power. It’s 10,000 acres (1/4 the size of Lake Lanier north of Atlanta or Lake Martin near Montgomery) and was formed from a deep river channel of the Tallapoosa River. The water is very deep, and very clear. At our south end of the lake, hundred foot depths are the norm.

Alabama Power lowers the water level about 8’ staring in early October until late April. It does affect the appearance of the shoreline somewhat. Our dock does remains floating. The lake in the winter is special. Incredibly quiet and peaceful.

We welcome you to our slice of paradise!

We had a great weekend stay! The place was clean and comfortably slept 17 people. The owner was extremely responsive. The kitchen was well stocked and it was helpful to have an additional fridge in the basement. There was a large table that seated everybody. The drive there didn’t have many street lights, but all the roads were paved and there is plenty of parking space at the house. The lake was nice and we enjoyed the canoes and kayaks provided as well as life jackets and beach towels. 12 people could easily sit around the fire pit and there was plenty of firewood. The area was very peaceful and the leaves were really pretty in the fall!

This home on Lake Wedowee is absolutely amazing, as well as the host. It is on the lake, which is a plus, clean and spacious with all if the amenities you need. I highly recommend this home for your stay on Lake Wedowee.

From the very beginning, David was quick to respond. He thoroughly addressed any questions about the property and surrounding area. We had a group of 20 and were very comfortable. Any cooking utensil you could think of is readily available.Paper towels and tissue are available, but bring your small back-ups. We left an air spray in each bathroom.....a must have. Towels are plentiful. Plenty of seating. The 2nd fridge came in handy. There is a massive cooler under the breakfast bar....very useful in keeping the fridge for food only. I can't say enough about the comfort level. Beds and pillows were PERFECT.If I could give the host more than 5*s.... I would. We drove from northern IL (12 hrs). Other family from north GA. David was able to accommodate our request to check in a little early. We were able to stagger arrival to avoid a rush all at once. Last note...be sure to assign rooms and have someone grab ice and drinks for the large cooler on the way in.....especially if you're there for more than 2 nights. We never had to leave Friday -Sunday. We loved your home.
