Summary: Cabin in rural Alabama was perfect for our trip. The scenery leading up to the cabin and the property was beautiful. Reminded me of my grandpas hunting cabin growing up. It was everything we needed for our trip and would love to visit again. Love the uniqueness of the cabin and how peaceful the area was. The river and shoreline was picturesque.

Summary: It's a beautiful, secluded place that has everything we were looking for in a vacation spot. Even though it rained most of the weekend, it didn't dampen our stay. The privacy and ease of access to the fishing and swimming area gave us peace of mind and we were able to relax and have a good time. As an added bonus, we went looking around and found some amazing historical sites that we had no idea was there. Everyone had a wonderful weekend and we all want to come back to this cabin again!

Summary: When I saw this property online, I absolutely fell in love with it. From the pictures, I thought it was absolutely stunning and would be perfect for my family! However, I was quite disappointed when we got there. The home was perfect for my family size and the lake was amazing… That’s the only positives we had. There were bugs and spiders everywhere inside the home, both alive and dead. There was also a terrible ant problem in the kitchen. The property owner warned me that I may see a few dead critters around because pest control had just come out to spray, but it didn’t seem that way. It actually seemed like the home had been sitting for quite sometime without anyone having cleaned or visited it. The home had an extremely stale smell to it. It was so bad that we literally had to spray Lysol and febreeze everywhere and air the home out. The linens and towels were clean, but the bathrooms had old cleaning liquid in them. There was old food in the refrigerator and freezer and the refrigerators were rusted. We were not even comfortable cooking in the kitchen or using the appliances and dishes that were there. All in all, our family trip was nice due to our time on the lake at the dock and relaxing on the porch (which we did actually love). But the pictures give off a much different feel than how dated the property actually is.

Summary: We booked the cabin for a team retreat. The team had a great time together. However, cabin needs a little decluttering of trinkets and the appliance need an upgrade. The water access was very enjoyable.

Summary: The lake was gorgeous and the fishing was great. We had everything we needed for a great vacation. It was a very quiet area. The beds were super comfortable and there was more than enough room for our family of 6. We enjoyed using the kayaks and swimming and fishing from the docks. Owners were super responsive and very helpful. The only reason I left a 3 star review was there were a lot of bugs inside house. When we arrived the kitchen window was open just a crack and that was enough for a lot of gnats and other bugs to come in. The house could use a few repairs, like replacing missing screens on the porch.
