Charming 2-bedroom lake cottage with kayaks

Hidden within a quiet cove, perched high among the trees, sits the Kingfisher Cottage. A place where solitude and wildlife abound. Relax on the screened porch and watch the trees gently swaying in the wind...Or enjoy swinging on the covered porch as you spy great blue herons and egrets searching for their favorite meal below. Four fishing kayaks, available at no charge, provide ready access to great bass, catfish, and bluegill fishing. Come, discover your own slice of paradise.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

We loved everything about our stay at Kingfisher Cottage. Dayna and Joe have thought of and anticipated every possible need a guest might have while staying in this space. My only regret is that we did not have as much time to spend at the cottage as I would have liked. I hope I have reason to return to Sylacauga in the future so that we can stay here again!

Get host and property. We only stayed one night for a golf trip but the cabin had everything we needed. The owners were quick to respond to any questions.

GREAT place to stay, couldn't have been better! We absolutely loved how stocked the kitchen and bathroom was. Super clean and as homey as it can get when it's not your home. The steps down to the water were sturdy and well lit. We took nightly trips down to the water to star gaze. Our son, who's 18, saw his first shooting star! It's about 16-18 minutes from Pursell Farms, a lot closer than most hotels, plus we had more space and could cook 'at home'. Last minute we decided to stay an additional night, the host was on it and she added it right away. If we are ever in the area again, all of us agreed, we would stay there again!
