So Lovely

A quaint, lovely gem. The space was super clean and had everything we needed. The dock was great to hang out on, spent full days on it and in the water. It was spacious and cozy enough for 3 adults.

Our family had a great time at this cottage. The lake is beautiful; we enjoyed swimming, fishing and canoeing. The views from inside are amazing, you can see the lake from almost any window. It’s minutes from Huntsville which is very convenient.

This is a spacious, clean, and well-equiped cottage. The location is fantastic. Super quiet with a beautiful view. We loved that it's on a non-motorized lake, as two of us in the family are avid kayakers. The large property and surrounding area was great for walking our dogs.
