Cabin in rural Alabama was perfect for our trip. The scenery leading up to the cabin and the property was beautiful. Reminded me of my grandpas hunting cabin growing up. It was everything we needed for our trip and would love to visit again.
Love the uniqueness of the cabin and how peaceful the area was. The river and shoreline was picturesque.

We loved the rustic feel of the home and the unique decorations throughout the home.
Beautiful front porch overlooking the river.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2021
The lake was gorgeous and the fishing was great. We had everything we needed for a great vacation. It was a very quiet area. The beds were super comfortable and there was more than enough room for our family of 6. We enjoyed using the kayaks and swimming and fishing from the docks. Owners were super responsive and very helpful. The only reason I left a 3 star review was there were a lot of bugs inside house. When we arrived the kitchen window was open just a crack and that was enough for a lot of gnats and other bugs to come in. The house could use a few repairs, like replacing missing screens on the porch.
