Spacious and good for teens!

Really nice sized yard for entertaining. Lots of things to do for kids and teens and plenty of space for sleeping a large group. Good fair pricing so don’t expect upscale amenities but we had all we needed. Only thing that could be better is if the cove had enough water to park a boat at the dock, but that’s beyond the owners control.

Guntersville Lake House

Location was easy to find, close to nearby amenities for food, shopping, entertainment. The house itself was great, spacious, well-equipped and comfortable. Our original completement of 19 family was reduce to 15, from 3 months to 74 yrs. Space for everyone, no complaints during our stay. Heavy mosquitos kept us in at night, except one night we lit a fire and braved it for s'mores. We rented a pontoon boat, put in a couple miles away for fishing (choice of 3 nearby boat ramps), and State park for swimming. Local cinema and restaurants were good, as was the multitude of in-house entertainment. We cooked up a storm and had a good time. Lake use at house was limited due to TVA water level and vegetation practices beyond host control. May be better at different times/seasons. All-in-all, a great time together with family.

Great family weekend!

The house was perfect for our group..more than enough space, very clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. This isn’t a place for swimming and as mentioned in a previous review the fishing is limited due to water conditions ..however there are beach areas just a short drive away to enjoy those activities as well as splash pads in the area to take the kids to play. Great hospitality was extended to us by the host!

Family vacation

We take an annual family vacation and this year chose Lake Guntersville. Property was very large and spacious. We did have issues with wasps when we arrived but the brave men in our group took care of them swiftly and easily!!! Waterfront was beautiful. Not the best neighborhood but was centrally located to restaurants, marinas and entertainment. We enjoyed it and would highly recommend!!

good for large gathering

We had a family gathering for a 50th Anniversary. The property was spacious for everyone. I did not look closely enough at the pictures but the bedroom with the bunk beds, the top bunks do not have a safety rail and it would be easy for kids to roll off. We only had three kids in our group, so they were all able to pick a bottom bunk bed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were neat and clean.

Beautiful house big enough for us all

The house was just as described and better. The house was stocked with the basics, plus a few extras in the fridge like mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce (probably left by past guests. We repaid the favor and left a few items too.) Surprisingly, we had enough trash bags and toilet paper for our weekend stay. We had a table large enough for us to gather around at mealtime, two refrigerators to hold drinks and food, and plenty of room for the kids to play. The pool table was a huge hit with my grandsons (age 5-12). My Daddy sat on the porch swing most of the time, enjoying the outdoors. We left a can of wasp spray because two members of our family got bit. (A nest is under the dock and one under the wooden table in the back yard.) One thing that I wish was better and it’s not the owner’s fault…..the water by the flocking dock was full of algae and lake grass. It was so thick that there’s no fish within range of the dock, so don’t plan to fish from the dock. The grass is so thick that even paddling the canoe and kayak away from the dock is a real task. We would certainly rent this home again. Thanks for a memorable weekend with my entire family. Happy memories made!

Family Gathering at The Reel Paradise

The property was perfect for our family gathering, me, three children, their spouses and all of their children. The grandchildren enjoyed roaming around the property playing with each other. They also enjoyed the pool table, ping pong table and the xBox. The adults also enjoyed the games, but also spent much of our time visiting with each other in the Great Room and kitchen. I definitely recommend the property to all.

Charming lodge

We have stayed at this lodge multiple times and we will rent this place again. It is huge and it really will sleep 18-21 comfortably. The living room is also very big so there is a spot for everyone. There are two large tables in the dining room and there is every kind of kitchen gadget you will need so all you'll need to bring with you is the food. The walk down to the lake is nice and there is a brand new dock out there. The owner is very communicative and is very easy to get a hold of. If you are looking for a charming, quiet, getaway, this place is for you.

I am married and have two wonderful children - 23 and 24 years old. During my free time, I love to travel with my extended family. We love each other and absolutely have a blast together! I speak English, but I can use Google Translate. I am a retired teacher from Union Grove, Alabama who continues to work as an Independent Contractor providing professional development for teachers.

Why they chose this property

I have always needed "blue space" in my life to help me relax. It doesn't matter if I'm at the beach or at the lake, just being on the water makes me happy!

What makes this property unique

I love spending time with my family. The lake house is big enough for us all to gather and enjoy the day =)
