About this property

This cozy lake house was built by one of the original German Scientists who came to work in the space program with Werner Von Braun in the 1950's. A group of them built houses in this quiet cove of Lake Guntersville because it reminded them of their mountainous native land. They were known to spend hours working in their beautifully landscaped yards and then gather in the late afternoon to swim or float on rafts and visit with friends and neighbors in the quiet lake setting.

The house is perfect for accommodating a family who enjoys being together and entertaining friends of all ages. It is great for a family gathering because it has many open spaces for gathering inside and outdoors and plenty of comfortable beds. Great private boathouse (built in 2003) and party dock great for swimming, fishing or even star gazing. Features a nice flat yard for kids to play, ideal for backyard football.

The boathouse has two boat slips available plus one jet ski slip. The porch is covered and has an expansive view of the yard and lake. It is well protected even during rainy weather and in fact is very comfortable to sit and watch a storm blow by. The water is eight feet deep at the dock with a gradual slope to the shore making it perfect for swimming.

There is a large comfortable room for gathering around the fireplace in colder months, and a separate room for piling up and watching TV or movies. There is also a downstairs playroom/bunkroom for the kids with a separate TV. This abundance of living spaces make this a comfortable stay no matter your style of relaxation.

Lake Guntersville is world famous for its bass fishing. We have pulled in 5 pound bass right off the dock. Honeycomb is about eight miles west of the town Guntersville, and 20 minutes from Huntsville city limits. A public access boat launch is conveniently
located one mile from the house.

Early check-in/late check-out may be available if reservation schedule allows. Charge for early check-in or late check-out is $75 each.

Bed configuration: Bedroom #one, King-size bed. Bedroom #two, Queen-size bed. Bedroom/sleeping porch #three, two single beds with one single in the living room. Bunkroom/playroom #4, four single beds.

Walked in and decided not to stay

Bottom line: if you want to spend your days on the lake fishing and boating with a place to sleep, this may work. I had family coming in for Thanksgiving and after walking inside, my wife and I immediately found another place to stay. Basically I paid for two rentals during a 4 day weekend. The pictures don't show the exact state/condition of the property. There is a twin bed in what looks like used to be a porch, and another twin in the living room. The bunk room downstairs is not nice. The other bedrooms are just okay. The one bathroom I looked in had a tiny short shower head and toilet paper in the toilet. The kitchen looks and feels old, and the circuit breaker box is exposed in the wall. Overall, I was very disappointed in the condition of the property. I'm not trying to sound entitled either, I spent plenty of time living in tents in the military, but I didn't want to stay here for a holiday with my family and have them feel like we weren't trying to pamper them.

Great Area And View is Amazingly by!

House is easy to find. The View and the Area is great. Will Have plenty if Wildlife to see in the yard. Beds are comfortable. The yard is nice and open for kids to play. Dock is very nice and great for fishing or just sitting and relaxing. The house is older. 1 bathroom is off the kitchen Shower is Small! The other Bathroom is down the hall the Shower head does have where you can use as a sprayer. But if you use it as a Shower it is for Short people or kids. The Washer works great. The dryer is in the garage. Dishwasher works. Some of the lights will flicker when turning them on mainly the light by the door. There is no light about the sink. It is wired for one but no light. The House is functional and given some updates would be amazing. The Bunk is down stairs and musky but the dehumidifier works great. Kids didn’t want to sleep down there but loved the couches. Wi-Fi worked great as well. Would possibly stay again if some updates were done. Manager was great to work with and would rent from him again.

Perfect family retreat

Loved this property! It was suitable for lots of people and the basement was great for the pre-teen and teens due to the great noise canceling benefits. The water view is absolutely beautiful and you can swim right off the dock. Would certainly love to stay again!

Fish

A lot of space. This has a camp feel to the property. Like a boys scout sleepover. Not too shiny so don’t worry about messing anything up. My kids caught their first fish here so the price was priceless to see that. God bless y’all.

Fishing trip

Older house with some questionable wiring and inadequate outside lightning. Driveway is tricky to back a boat in and definitely not enough room for 4 bass boats! It would be fine for a small group.

Great old house

Fun place to stay- The porch (with dartboard) seems nice but it was too cold out to use it. We found plenty of room for our family (although keeping the downstairs bedroom warm was a challenge). We had fun in the kitchen and the great rooms, and trying to guess what part of the the house was built when. The lake views are beautiful, and the neighborhood is nice for walking, with good hiking nearby. All in all, we had a good time!

Great family fishing trip

We were so happy with our rental. The owner responed quickly for the reservation. The house was perfect for us. Great boat house and dock. My husband caught a 6 plus pound bass and a 30 pound catfish! We have been to lake Guntersville 2 times before and the fishing was best this time. We can't wait to come back. We would definitely rent this property again. It was so quiet and the way the yard is you feel like you are the only house around. The home is older but very comfortable. I cooked all of our meals. The kitchen is well equipped. The beds were comfortable. We had a wonderful family vacation.

Me and my children and grandchildren stayed a week. We absolutely loved it plenty of space . Loved sitting on back porch watching sunrise. Kids loved the lake . Probably best vacation we have had since my children have been grown . We usually go to beach but tried something new and we are so glad we did. Thank you for sharing your home with us ❤️

Honeycomb Retreat

No complaints regarding the house. It is old but very unique. Furniture is dated and a bit used. It accommodated all 11 of us just fine with plenty of space. The only disappointing factor was you couldn't really use the boat in the channel for tube pulling, etc. because of all the growth in the water and it being a channel. Couldn't swim off the dock, water was overgrown with vegetation. The fishing was good off the dock however. There is the cutest light tan squirrel (we called him Honey) that frequents the area which was fun to watch and hummingbirds frequented the porch quite often. Very enjoyable stay.
