NO CABLE, Wi-Fi, or Satellite!! Get Away From It All! Welcome to living A-top of the water and welcome to living A-little small. I would describe this place like a tiny home. If you are tall and don’t do well with tight small spaces, this is NOT the place for you. This adorable A-frame is equipped with everything you should need to enjoy a weekend A-way from it all! It is a two bedroom and one and a half bath with a sleeper sofa. This tiny A-frame sits on two acres in Yellow Creek. If you need to launch anything, Houston recreation area is 4 miles away via road.

Great stay with peaceful setting
Beautiful and comfortable cabin. Quiet and peaceful location. Highly recommend. Be aware that county road leading to cabin is a bit dicey.

Great place on the water
We had a great short trip. The only issue was being unsure when we arrive to the dirt road if we were in the right location. The dirt road looked like a dead end. We finally decided to go forward and then could see the road continued down to the lake. We would recommend this look spot to others. We needed a day away from cell phones and email so no Wi-Fi was fine with us. Plus the view from the deck was perfect.

Cooler at the lake
This was a quiet stay. No one else around. We went during the week so typically less crowded anyway. Loved the old/new cabin feel. Swimming was great. No boaters to contend with. Had planned to eat out at least once but ended up getting everything we needed at Publix in Cullman.

Get away
Cozy little cottage, not close to much so it’s perfect if you want to Get away! Very rustic and woodsy! Like camping off the beaten path, but with all of the comforts! Beautiful lake! It feels like living in a tree house.

Great house!
This is a great small home! It has everything you need for cooking and mixing. The patio has a great view and we enjoyed our stay! Not far from the Lakeshore marina by car or boat. The driveway is a little steep but if you know how to drive then you’ll be fine. I suggest bringing some dvds or cds if you are there on a rainy day and I suggest some games. We were stuck there on a rainy day and brought our own games which helped. We will be back! My father in law and son drove 4.5 hours to the house and they said they loved it. The bed on the main floor is cozy and perfect! Love this house!

Mother's Day Stay
We had a great weekend overall. The worst part was the driveway and no warning for how bad the driveway/washed out road is if bringing a boat. The communication about the non service was great and good to know before hand. The house itsself and the boat dock in the water was great. House was adorable and cozy. The only and main issue we had was the drive to the house. We brought our ski boat and were not warned at how terrible the drive to the house was. The road is washing out to get down the hill to the house so it was more than difficult to get down with a ski boat. Our boat scrubbed the ground where the wash outs were. Thankfully we were in a F250 to pull it down/up. There was no warning about the drive. My mom was in a SUV Infiniti and she spun tires trying to leave because the road was so bad and also basically went "mud riding" in her car. Over all the house was great but highly suggest bringing F250 and not bringing a boat down the hill.
