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 The house is a little outdated but not terrible.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.

Not what I expected

I rented this property for a weekend getaway at the lake with my wife and daughter and was pretty disappointed at the condition it was in. It smelled musty, the bathroom sink is barely hanging on to the wall, there is mold and water spots on the ceiling, the floor is soft in some spots, and the outside was falling apart with weeds taking over. If the owner would just invest a little money to update and fix this place up a bit it would be an awesome rental. There's a reason why it's one of the cheapest rentals on the lake.

Very peaceful and beautiful location on the lake

We enjoyed our stay. The wooded lot blocks The views of other homes so you can enjoy just looking at the lake and some privacy. The cottage was very clean, stocked with everything needed.

The rustic lake house.

Rustic is an appropriate descriptor. And it was accurately described in the listing. It would be helpful if the light switches were labeled. I was unable to get the lights on in the driveway. The one statement in the listing that I disagree with is the statement that it is handicap accessible. I disagree. The front entry is sloped toward the door and there is no handrail. Also the broken tiles at the entrance to the kitchen offer awkward footing. And the threshold between the kitchen and the living room would definitely be a tripping hazard for a person with mobility issues. Also check-in time is listed at 4:00 and yet the cleaning lady was still there until nearly 4:40.
