Peaceful and felt secluded even though nice and helpful neighbors. Birds, fish, fire pit, exploring the river in canoes, views of the river and sunset were our favorite highlights. Wonderful host!

Perfect river getaway

We were two couples looking for a place on the river for a relaxing retreat, and we found it. Absolutely perfect getaway. We canoed during the day and watched the sunset on the deck in the evening. Our host was very gracious and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again.

Stargazing & More

Wonderful views, lots of deer and birds. House was cute, too! Picked this location after viewing several others for stargazing with telescope. Host was exceptionally accommodating and even called to make sure it was perfect. Will be staying again and highly recommend for anyone looking to get away from it all (even if it's just light pollution)!

Elk River oasis

Stayed here for the second time for our annual Elk River fishing trip. This was our 34th straight fishing trip. The lakehouse is the perfect place to stay for fishing the Elk. Owners are very nice and easy to get in touch with. Kris

Coming from up north in January to Sweet Home to fish

Once again my stay here was absolutely a great experience it was so so peaceful just like before no busy traffic , loud noise , or loud neighbors at the motel like my buddies were experiencing in town but yet this little slice of heaven in not to far out where you can go get what you need . Thank you Trudy for welcoming us in again we really love staying there when we come to Alabama.

Best

We can’t say enough about this place!! The pictures don’t do justice. It was very clean, inviting. The property was nice. Good fishing, lots of wild life to watch and the back porch over looking the water was nice to relax after fishing. We loved the 2 sliding doors that open. Loved listen to the pouring rain in the dark. You won’t be disappointed if you choose this beautiful place. We been to a bunch of places and we think this one has been the best!!!

Peaceful Stay

Very peaceful location, beautiful view of the river from the cottage. Spent quite a bit of time reading and just enjoying the view from the rocker in the living room. The bathroom has recently been remodeled, a couple of hooks for hanging towels would be a nice addition. The cottage is very clean, you can tell that the owners take a lot of care. Perfect for our group of 3.

A hidden gem

This property by far exceeded my expectations! My daughter was looking for a “summer camp” feel for her birthday and she actually found this listing. Every parent who dropped off their teen asked for a link to the property. The cabin has wonderful views, back porch is great for entertaining, and the boats included were the cherry on top. Such a relaxing home away from home.

Just what you need

Nice quiet little spot on the water. There are other houses around, so it is not secluded or lonely, but quiet enough that fawns will frolic openly during daylight in the adjacent open space. If you're up early, you can watch herons patrol the shoreline from the hammock just a few feet away. We had a kayak on the water just about every morning and evening. It was just what we needed.

Clean and peaceful

Our stay at this property was absolutely perfect! The house was spotless and so cozy! The majority of us spend a lot of time on the water but for the older folks they could watch from the back porch, or even in the air conditioned house with the wall of windows, and still feel part of what was going on. The house had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The pictures could not do justice to how peaceful the setting is. We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds feed and a mama bird feed her babies in the bird house at the corner of the porch. We definitely would love to stay here again! It was perfect for us!

River Wildlife Migration

Perfectly quiet getaway property on the Elk River. The cozy former fishing cottage has been beautifully converted to a beautiful 2+ bedroom, modern bathroom, beauty. Well worth the ride off the beaten path to your natural hideaway. We happened to catch the migration of American White Pelicans stopping over on their trip south, and have never seen a sight like the 5000+ birds cruising a couple feet above the river with the only sound being the wind passing over their wings - it was a morning none of us will ever forget!!!!!!! The deer, the canoes, and the water made this an unforgettable weekend trip!
