On the river

We loved this little cabin on the Fish River. It had everything we needed including many little things you'd never expect (like fishing gear and live bait). It's a great location. We also enjoyed the town of Fairhope.

Amazing!!

We needed a two day retreat with us both being in major leadership roles and Basskin provided everything we needed to recoup and rejuvenate!! This is a very special little piece of heaven.

I had plans to surprise my husband with reservations to stay at this tiny cabin on the river back in October!! We are local to the area and we had something come up that caused us to have to reschedule. The property owner, Michael, was more than understanding to accommodate us having to change our dates!! It was very easy and we’re thankful for how flexible he was! The cabin itself was so cute and quaint!! It was exactly what we love and was very clean and organized!! We grilled steaks the first night and were pleased to find all the essentials we needed for the charcoal grill provided for us!! We even had to text the property owner to ask if he had matches or a lighter to use and he was prompt to provide us an answer back!! All through the night and the next morning it had rained a lot, but we enjoyed having a slow Saturday morning listening to the rain hit the tin roof and watched a cozy Christmas movie in the living room!! The WiFi was very fast and worked great!! We honestly loved everything about our stay and have no complaints!! We also thought it was such a special touch to have welcome gifts when we arrived!! Overall, it was a wonderful place and we would love to stay again one day!!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Brenny

I am an experienced VRBO host..who loves what what I am doing. Its fun trying to provide the best customer experience possible.

My wife and I have lived in Fairhope for almost all of our lives. We know the area real well. Anything from beaches, shopping, restaurants, hiking, boating, fishing, site seeing, etc. We can provide recommendations.

Why they chose this property

Why this property?.. I would say because its waterfront property, really comfortable,
and unique. There are very few river houses in this area that you can rent on a daily basis and the ones you can rent are large. And as a result they are asking quite a bit to rent. An attribute of this place is that its not too big where we have to price it too high.
This property is located in Fairhope, AL which consistently gets voted Americas favorite small town. As mentioned earlier, the west side of Fish River is the nicest part of the river. It is also closest to downtown Fairhope with its great shopping and dinning.

We get alot of guests who are couples celebrating anniversaires and birthdays.

There is a ladder leading up to a loft/sleeping area. If you have trouble climbing or get up a lot in the night, you can sleep on the pullout couch on the main floor. Special precautions should be made while up in the loft; closing the hatch while up there and not standing on the hatch door.

What makes this property unique

The cabin gives you a rustic feel. You are high up and get an amazing view of the river. The neighborhood is great. Its located on a dead end street. Not a lot of traffic. Everyone is real friendly.
