Our family did an early Thanksgiving at the Lake T Retreat. There were 17 of us, but the house and outdoor areas gave us plenty of room. Check-in was easy, and our early request was accommodated. We enjoyed sitting in the gazebo and watching beautiful sunsets! Our host responded quickly to every question along the way. This place is perfect for a large group. Because it was November, we did not use the pool, but it was lovely. We so appreciated that it is fenced since we have a puppy that loves to swim! The game room was perfect for our grandchildren, and the adults enjoyed the pool table. I would love a summer retreat at this property in the future! Thank you, Tanner, for helping to create a great holiday memory!

This was a perfect spot for our annual family gathering. It provides great space for our 5 families - we especially appreciated the large dinner table which allowed wonderful meal times and a perfect environment for our special family update evening and prayer time. The pool was our daily center of activity. It’s a great size for our crew and the gazebo was used all day! We also took advantage of the lake, but the house was the star! We’re talking about a return trip next year already!!

Return to Lake T
This was our third time staying at the Lake T Retreat, and it doesn’t disappoint for our large group. From age 6 to 81, everyone enjoyed the property. Lots of great memories made around the pool and down at the lake. We cooked multiple meals each day and had everything we needed in the well-equipped kitchen. The sleeping arrangements are comfortable, and the three bathrooms are able to accommodate us well. The communication with Tanner was timely and helpful before, during, and after our stay. We're already looking forward to another trip next summer. I highly recommend this house!

Great Family Trip
We had a great 4 night trip at Tanner’s lake house. The house had plenty of space for 3 families to spread out and tons of fun things to do for kids of all ages. Our crew loved playing the games provided, roasting s’more’s in the fire pit, swimming, and jumping in the lake. Tanner was also quick to respond to and fix the things our wild crew messed up.I would suggest bringing your own pool/lake towels bc we were given just enough towels for everyone to use after a shower. We also found ourselves wanting more blankets, pillows, and kitchen towels. We did not ask for these things, but I’m sure if we did, Tanner would have been on top of it. With all that said, we loved our stay and would do it again if in town!

Great house!
Everything about this house was wonderful. The location on the lake is breathtaking. We spent our mornings on the dock, drinking tea and watching the ducks and loons. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their own space. The house is huge! Two different family room areas to watch tv/the games. We look forward to coming back!

Completely as promised!
We were using this house as an overflow over Christmas so didn’t spend much time ‘hanging out’, though the pool table was really fun when we did. For guests who might be considering this place: it is really large with multiple separate spots that people can gather in, and the outside space looks like it would be really fun in the warmer months. The kitchen is very well stocked and has some basics (salt, pepper, oil, etc. The beds are comfortable with great sheets - that was unanimous. It may be odd to say, but the number one compliment about this place was the management company were incredibly responsive to any issue - minor as they were (tv controller confusion and kitchen towels). I think it has changed hands recently so a few quirks that needed to be worked out (two doors, but only one entry code!) but I am certain this will be addressed. Really super to work with. Would stay again if we needed the space!

Perfect Family Time
We came to Tuscaloosa for a wedding and wanted a space large enough to accommodate our family, which includes a 3 year old and a 3 month old. This place fit the bill! There was plenty of room to spread out so that we all had personal space, and also large rooms for us to gather and spend time together. The game room and putting green were very popular.
Overall we had a wonderful time - the house was clean, the host very easy to communicate with, and the lake views were spectacular. Thank you Tanner! We enjoyed your home very much.
