Perfect getaway
The pictures really don't do this place justice. The views are breathtaking! The cabin is cute and quaint. The furniture was very comfy and we loved the porch area too. The bed was very firm but we managed. This place really is well stocked and had pretty much everything. We came in for the AAYS World Series for girls softball. It was worth every bit of the drive into Gardendale to play ball. Didn't hurt that our team brought home the Championship for 18u division. If we are in the area again, we would love to stay here again! Be prepared there is little to no service at all, but it was nice to disconnect and relax when we were there.

Relaxing weekend
The pictures on the listing to do not do this place justice. The fire pit area is awesome. Has a nice covered deck on the river with plenty of seating. Kayaks, fishing poles…the property is very nice. Well furnished with internet and tv and the beds very comfortable. The owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would stay again
