Cozy Cabin on the River

Come and enjoy a few nights of fun and fishing on the historical Fish River. This centrally located property is a mere 15 minutes from the beautiful town of Fairhope and it is approximately 30 minutes away from the white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Our comfy river cabin includes 1 bed/ 1bath and is able to comfortably sleep two adults. The kitchen is fully functional as well as an outdoor charcoal grill. A large covered porch is an inviting place to sit, relax, and enjoy the view of the river. It is intentionally positioned on Fish River basin, which gives you a great deal of privacy while also being a stones-throw away from the main river. The cabin does not sit on the water. but our beautiful boathouse provides ample water access. We have a long pier for fishing and swimming, as well as a beautiful boathouse. We have a place to launch kayaks or other small boats as well as the perfect place for swimming. This prime Fish River location gives you access to some of the best fishing Baldwin County has to offer. This river’s name is no coincidence because it is chock-full of redfish, speckle trout, and even dolphins from time to time. Come and see what all of the fuss is about at The Cabin on Fish River.

weekend getaway

We enjoyed our weekend kid free getaway. It was quiet and just the relaxation we needed. We had some great food and enjoyed kayaking to Big Daddy's Grill. We even decided to go for a dip and had a dolphin swim up in the cove. It was an enjoyable weekend.

Relaxing and quiet

This was a wonderful place to spend a long weekend! The house was small, but perfect for 2 people. We spent most of our time down at the dock fishing or laying in the sun and reading on the top dock. Close enough to food and entertainment, but far enough to feel like a getaway. Susan was a great host and kept us updated as our trip approached. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy Cabin on the River is a great place to stay!

I had a great time staying at this property. In every category it exceeded expectations. We chose this location because we want a quiet weekend away y to enjoy nature. This is a great place to do that . I was particularly struck by the cleanliness and condition of the property. Everything was as advertised and there were no hiccups. Everything worked and was in good condition. The communications were clear and helpful. I hope we will return soon. I would really like to do more kayaking.

This serene property is nestled along a quiet recessed alcove along Fish River. It's a beautiful setup b/c you're able to enjoy watching boaters pass by w/o any river traffic interfering w/your swimming, fishing, paddle boarding, etc.Although the cabin had everything a couple needed for weekend getaway, the two story riverfront boat house was the real gem of this property. The upper deck is huge and has plenty of comfortable seating, fans to cool you down on hot days, a large screen tv, refrigerator, outdoor bar, grill and more. And, the sunsets are to die for.Trust me, you'll find yourself spending more time there than in the cabin.As for location, the cabin between Fairhope and Foley, AL. Either is about 20 minutes away and both have plenty of events going on and places to see throughout the year. The white sand beaches of Gulf Shores. AL are also a mere 45 minute drive.Lastly, if you have any questions, the property owner is quick to respond and to ensure your stay goes well. Go ahead a plan your trip. We'll be back again next year.

Peaceful and relaxing anniversary celebration

Peaceful and relaxing anniversary celebration♥️We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful cozy and relaxing place than cozy cabin on Fish river. Enjoyed relaxing at the beautiful boathouse & looking out at the river kayaking and swimming. Inside the cabin was always comfortably cool and very cozy as well as comfortable bed. We loved this area because it was very private and we love the fact that we didn’t have to go far to visit a lot of places around us (Fairhope, Ft. Morgan, Gulf Shores beach) and eat at some really good restaurants! The only regret we had was that we did not bring our little boat with us to ride this beautiful river but will next time! Thank you Susan for letting us experience such a beautiful little place!

Everything was amazing! This was our second time staying here, and we had a wonderful time. The worst part is just trying to decide if we wanted to relax in the house, on the back porch, or the boat dock. I wanted to be in all three places. I had an amazing nap on the comfortable tanning chairs on the dock, and later, sitting on the porch listening to the rain on the tin roof, was just what we needed to end the day. We will definitely return!
