We came to Fish and Frolic with our friends for a few nights with our boat and had a great weekend! There were 8 of us total and we had plenty of room to spread out. The house was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed and then some. Our hostess was easy to communicate with and responded quickly about our questions about the lake. It was so nice to be able to put our boat in at the private launch and keep it in their boat house. The kids also liked fishing out of the back of the boat house. We kept saying we wish we have made our stay longer. Can’t wait to come back!

A serene escape! Tucked away by the water, this spacious lakeside retreat was exactly what we needed—quiet mornings, warm sunsets, and total peace. The cozy, well-stocked accommodations had everything we needed to feel right at home. We especially loved the boat dock and pedal boat, which made it easy to fish, snap beautiful photos, or simply float in the middle of the calm lake for some quiet reflection. The perfect place to unplug, recharge, and reconnect!

Best vacation rental!

I’ve stayed in rentals and Vrbo’s in the USA and Europe with this vacation rental having the best amenities and cleanliness!! The owner was in communication with us and was so very sweet about making sure we had everything we needed. A tornado had gone through less than a week prior to us arriving took down trees, boat house and dock but everything was cleaned up prior to our arrival. The home had more amenities than you could ever request, towels, salt pepper, all kitchen needs, soaps, laundry detergents and even zip lock storage bags!! The home is decorated to perfection! My visit was for a wedding, but whenI go to visit my family who live a mile away, I will definitely stay here again!

This property is in a great location and exactly as described. Quiet cul de sac with neighborhood boat ramp within walking distance. Super clean and well stocked. Lots of room and very comfortable beds. Very nice showers that had plenty of hot water and pressure.Appliances all seemed fairly new and everything worked great. We cooked a few meals and had everything we needed to prep and serve. Outdoor grill and furniture in great condition.

Perfect!

We travel to Scottsboro several times a year to visit family. This rental by far exceeded our expectations! The house was super clean, and had all of the amenities we look for when we rent homes. The house is quite larger than what the photos appear to be online. The upstairs gave the kids a place to hang out. My son really loved the twin beds that are located in the hallway. All the beds are super comfortable. We look forward to renting this property again!

We can't say enough great things about our stay. The house was beautifully remodeled and very clean. The lake view and the firepit are a major plus. The kitchen was well-stocked. The owners responded quickly to any questions. They even gave us a credit because the ice maker wasn't making ice. We highly recommend this listing.
