Sunset Landing- Sunsets, water, peace and tranquility

River/Lakeside home with the perfect vibe for people who need to chill! 3 formal bedrooms, additional 1 futon, 2 bath, large open area living space with open kitchen and dining area and beautiful screened-in dining area as a back porch. The views are UNREAL! Gas fireplace for cooler nights. For you chefs there are XL green egg, outside gas griddle 36 in., and all the normal kitchen amenities. Riverside doc, boat ramp for smaller craft, and a mile from a free boat launch. Decks galore for your chilling pleasure. Surrounded by nature and an unbelievable bird and wildlife population. Opposite shore is TVA owned and sparsely populated on a 64,000 hechtacre Lake Wheeler. World class bass fishing. Excellent ski and recreational boating. Kayak and stand up paddle board on site. Adjacent property to the west is unbuilt and is a haven for incredible bird population. Wifi and Smart TVs available, but we know you don't care about those. Excellent place to gather yourself, recharge, write music, or a launch pad for Huntsville, Athens, Florence and Muscle Shoals attractions. We'd love to share this with right minded folks seeking peace and tranquility. This is a very clean and nice house and incredible location. Excellent beds. It is surrounded by wild things, so if wild things and nature bothers you, this might not be the right location for you.

Heaven in Alabama

This house is perfect in every way, and the view is truly heavenly. From an awesome walk-in shower to super-soft bedding to a kitchen with everything a chef could appreciate, along with delightful decor and heart-warming personal touches, this house is a true VRBO treasure. Thank you for another lovely stay.

Amazing View

We had a great stay. The views of the lake are absolutely stunning, including the sunsets!! We were able to take our dogs, which was awesome, just have to make sure and stay with them as there is the boat launch with a steep drop off to It on the property. The rooms were all nice and cozy, everyone had an excellent nights sleep! Carter the Host was great, he answered any questions we had and was available whenever we needed!

Gorgeous waterfront home

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this waterfront home. The home is equipped with everything that you would need. The screened in back porch was our favorite place for our family to gather. The kayaks and the ping pong table was also a hit! The host was a pleasure to work with!

Great river view and friendly owner with great communication

My sisters and I gathered from around the country for a long weekend to celebrate our Mom's birthday. This river location was a very relaxing and restful place to visit and reconnect. As the owner mentions in the listing, the steps down to the dock area are a bit steep, but if that's an issue for you, you don't need to go down there to enjoy the great view of the water from the screened-in patio or kitchen area. There aren't a ton of restaurants nearby, but we had a great cheeseburger at the Geezburger and drove into Rogersville (not too far) to visit the Bloom Winery, where they make local wine and had a great wood-fired pizza (pizza is currently on weekends only due to the process involved to run the pizza oven). Also, in Rogersville is a cool old lodge with a restaurant at the Joe Wheeler State Park-- just drive slowly because we saw at least a lot of deer and even a turtle slowly crossing the road.

Peaceful getaway

We stayed here for my son’s college fishing tournament. It was great being right on the lake with amazing views. The house is bigger than I anticipated from the listing. The indoor space accommodated 8 easily. It was kind of cold when we were there so we couldn’t take advantage of the outdoor space, but it was well appointed for outdoor cooking and entertaining. The rental is about 20 minutes from grocery stores and restaurants, and I liked being away from the noise. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Lakeside Property

If you like hanging out in the sun on a dock over the lake or in the shade on a deck above the lake, or in a covered screened in porch further above the lake, you'll enjoy yourself here. The description is accurate. A bit out of the way, which may be the reason to choose this property. Still, Athens is only 20 minutes away, and the NASA Space Center is an easy trip.

We went back to Huntsville where I grew Up to visit old friends. We had a great stay. The King size bed was very comfportable. My wife actually commented on it as we have had many bad beds in the past. Thhe only issue I had, and knew going in was the distance to Huntsville. But we did enjoy our stay very Much!

The only thing I’d change is to stay longer

We loved our stay here, I just wish we’d had a longer trip. The house is spacious and gorgeous, beds are comfy, the house was clean, kitchen was well-equipped, and pet-friendly. Super easy to find and such a pretty drive getting there from Atlanta. The flowers and yard likewise beautiful, with daisies, pineapple sage, and mums (I think they were mums) in the front, and a picnic table too! The views are breathtaking and hands down our favorite things were the screened in porch and deck. Y’all. It’s insanely beautiful with the sun on the water in the afternoons. We were there during a cool fall weekend so didn’t get in the water but man did we enjoy the porch and deck. Our host, Carter, was absolutely wonderful, super communicative, responsive, and helpful. Super enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in the Huntsville area. Thanks so much, Carter!

Think of rental as a camp

Description of home and amenities TOTALLY inaccurate. Numerous appliances not working, porch area was filled with dead insects, outdoors not well maintained. Advertised use of kayak but came with broken unusable paddle. Owner became quite angry when we complained and asked location of trash bags. Then threatened us with eviction and sending sheriff to property to evict us. Would have been quite amusing as would have encountered 3 women in their 70s! I reported owner and his threats to VRBO who will be reviewing him for this behavior. After told him I reported him his comment was :if

Back porch relaxing

You couldn’t ask for a more peaceful place to relax in the screened porch overlooking the water. There is a large table with plenty of seating and several zero gravity chairs for a nap. The porch is shady, so even when the sun was blazing you could enjoy being outside with the gentle breeze coming off the water. This one is definitely a place that we’ll come back to.

First Christmas Away

We have never vacationed during Christmas before. This was a perfect choice. There is LOTS of room in the house. The beds are very comfortable. The owner was very attentive, checked in via text just to make sure all was well and see if there was anything we needed. Fishing, simply from the dock, was fun and rewarding with 5 lb catfish and the largest bluegill I’ve ever seen!
