Rustic Mountain Lakefront Cottage

Get away from it all at our rustic mountain lake front cottage on Pine Island Circle. Spacious, wooded and VERY private lot, long circular driveway great for lots of parking and stone path from house to water and a large boat dock. Renovated and updated bathroom. Large boat dock for lounge chairs, tying up three to four boats (with electrical outlet to charge batteries). GREAT fishing spot on Pine Island where many fishing tournaments have been won!
WIFI and Cable TV.
Large wooden deck with built-in seating and 15 foot long picnic table. Adjoining patio has charcoal grill, picnic table and fire pit. We are at the center of a quiet bay which opens into the main channel of Guntersville Lake. Easy access to nearby public launches on either side of property 2 miles away including Waterfront Bay Grocery, Tackle and Launch 2 miles down the street. We are located off Highway 79 between Guntersville and Scottsboro.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. A TV comes with cable channels, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had a wonderful time! This is our third visit. The home is older but is very comfortable. The view of the water is perfect and the deck and patio are great for bird watching. We have observed Eagles nesting each time we have visited as well as many water fowl, backyard birds and owls. The bed was also very comfortable! We look forward to returning soon. The bathroom has some recent damage but the owner is addressing that. Ms. Bishop communicates well and is available if needed. This home is perfect for our needs. We appreciate getting to enjoy the peaceful environment and simple restful privacy this home offers.

For me the shower was just gross. Old shower curtain with unwashed plastic liner unexceptionable. Place was comfortable and clean but home needs lots of work. Lights in living room one light bulb worked out of 5 and the kitchen lights did not work (the manager offered to have son come look at them but we declined and grabbed a lamp from the living room). Great location on the lake.

The view was gorgeous. My daughters had a great time fishing off the dock. The home was older and needs some maintenance and a deep clean, but it was comfortable and worked for us. There was a problem with the coffeemaker the first morning and the owner worked diligently to fix the issue. The kids are already asking when we’re going back.

Older lake house on the Lake Guntersvile

Quiet neighborhood away from the busy cities but not too far of a drive to shopping and restaurants. Driveway is tight turning in with a large boat and cricle drive is tight turning a large boat around. House did sustain some storm damage before we arrived, that we was made aware of beforehand. Once repairs are made it will be a very inexpensive nice place to stay on the lake.

Extremely let go

This place has been extremely let go. The yard and woods around the house need cleaned out. The house is a little outdated but not terrible. None of the windows shut correctly. The bathroom was covered in mold. The ceiling was falling out in the bathroom and had major water damage and has caused mold. The walls of the shower were buckled in. Water dripped out of everything so we had bugs all week. The dock had broken boards and looked like the boats in the boat house have sunk.

Nice, older cabin.

Before you book, this is an older cabin, so be aware and don’t judge it for being older. It’s cozy and comfortable. Of course it needs some fixing here and there, but what doesn’t? Mainly the bathroom, but it functions as it should. The air conditioning works very well!! The cabin is right on the water. If you have a boat trailer it’s harder to maneuver in and out of the driveway, but it can be done. There’s a washer and dryer if needed. Plus internet and all the different apps for television/movies. Communication with the host was great! She kept us up to date and really wanted our experience to go well. We enjoyed our stay.

Quiet Cozy Cottage

Secluded and peaceful property. Dock had all kinds of little fish biting around it. Wildlife such as birds frogs and turtles were in abundance. Great little cove spot in a big open part of the lake.

Great place to stay for a fishing trip!!

Great place to stay for a fishing trip!! The inside of the house was clean and as described. There is a boat dock with a boat house you are able to tie to, but…. You are not able to pull into the boat house. Being able to pull into the boat house would have been convenient. Other than that… great place to stay for a group of fisherman!!!

This was an older property but exceptionally clean, very comfortable, furnishings and beds and right on the water in one of the prime Fishing locations on Lake Guntersville. Property owner was very responsive and kept us informed prior to in during our trip.

This location is stunning. My husband and I have stayed at “fancier” vacation rentals, yet there is something charming about this place that will keep us coming back. For the price, this is a great getaway. The location is serene, private, and quiet. Our goldendoodles had the times of their lives. They were able to jump in the water and splash around. Also, the water pressure was something to write home about as well. Perfect for cleaning pups after a day of frolicking by the lake. The kitchen has plenty of space if you have cooking in mind.
